• 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.

MSFS20 Cockpit Env map

Does anybody know how to add a custom cockpit Env reflection map? I know it has been done and I would like to do one myself.
Thanks
 
If I remember correctly, there isn't any way to get a custom environment or cube map for objects using the glass material type as described in the SDK under Glass Parameters. For standard materials all reflections are calculated using screen space reflections meaning that an environment map is not necessary as reflections are real-time. The SDK states that the environment map used for the Glass material is non-configurable, but this post here in 2022 on the devforums had requested that feature but no response was given unfortunately.

Ok gotcha, many thanks for the reply.
