• 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.

Converting FSX scenery to X-plane

Hi,

The existing tool that converts FSX to X-Plane does indeed do that. It makes multiple models each with one texture.

But I guess it's always a good aim (also for FSX) to try to only use one texture per model :)

Does anyone out there think X=Plane's Austin Meyer could use and incorporate very very complex kml files to more sharply define rivers and lakes for his next major redo?...I don't have X-Plane, but I would gladly give them away to him.

It occurred to me the other day, regarding the lack of multi-materials in X-Plane, that you might be able to just make a larger image and use it as a texture atlas. I know we're limited to 1024x1024 textures in FS (without config tweaks), but does X-Plane allow 2048 or even 4096 textures? If so, it would solve that issue.
