• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

autogen object "ag_usfactory03" untextured?

Hi all,
I've found an untextured autogen object in FSX SP2 (+ UTX)

With a short research (and plenty of luck...) I've identified it.
It is: ag_usfactory03

{3B6B1B79-66C6-460A-A9D8-C84054A54979}

At first, I was thinking I had some missing textures, but a visit to:

http://lc0277.nerim.net/sceneobjects/

showed the object is not textured (at least the thumbnail on the page, see attachment).


Of course, the other similar factory thumbnails are textured and the relative objects do show textures in FSX.

Any idea or tips for repairing/retexturing this object?

BTW, unfortunately, it is just at the end of the glide slope to LIMJ, and it's very annoying to see it untextured.

Thanks in advance for any reply
Cheers

Fulvio

Hi,

I don't think this can be fixed very easy. If it is only missing textures, adding some textures might fix the problem. But if the object does not contain any texture mapping at this moment then it will not work. In that case we would be talking about replacing the MDL object inside a default BGL, not really the best things to do.
 
Hi Arno,
thanks for your reply.
As I wrote, I don't think I've lost some textures in my own FSX installation, because only the specific object thumbnail on the web page is grey, while the others are textured, so I'd rather think it's a general FSX problem
Now the question is: is there a way to "repair" this object (e.g. finding the texture references inside the model and adding the missing textures) or is it "hard coded" in FSX and we must live with it?

Thanks
Fulvio
 
Hi,

If we would know in which BGL this objects is located, it would be possible to take a look and see if any texturing information is included.
 
That file should be referencing the texture "AG_USIndustrial01.dds" which is present in Scenery\Global\texture. However I do notice that the file has a Multi-Sub Material with only one sub-material. For a little while we had a bug where that would export no texture information. We fixed the bug, but after looking at the .x file, there is no texture information there, so it must have been exported while we had that bug. Good catch, we'll get it next version. Sorry for the untextured object in the meantime. :(
 
Yes, that one is for the bin actually... :D

...like some others before SP2/Acceleration. They seem to be fixed though.

I'd say it's much easier and faster to create your own factory than try to fix the default one.
I have to admit though that I use generic objects more often in FSX since some of them are just beautiful and the range of objects ist quite stunning. Well done, Aces. :)
