• 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.

FSX Coverting from X-Plane to FSX gives me flickering textures

Hi there :-)

Often when I convert a x-plane object to an FSX object (e.g. a airport terminal building) it results in flickering textures on that object.

Has anybody an idea why that happens? And is there a possibility to avoid this or to fix that flickering?

Thanks in advance!

Flickering is usually caused by competing textures occupying a nearly identical space. Like an interference pattern, the faces flicker as the miniscule differences alternately present a different texture as the view point changes. The condition requires multiple nearly identical faces because each can display only one texture at a time. It is likely that these are faces of lower detail models that have been combined into one during the conversion process. You could try removing the lower LOD models in the MCX Hierarchy Viewer, but in my experience, such groupings often contain a mix of desirable and undesirable components.
 
I converted an xplane aiport with permission of the autor of course, and had not any problem of flickering. I think I used modelconvertex.
Anyway as said above, good explanation, you should load the object in the editor and check for doubléd sided Walls, and vertex that don't fit, etc. removing all them.
