• 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.

Default FSX Taxiway textures needed

Hi all, sorry for a rubbish 1st post...
Firstly-I installed some modified taxiway textures (asphalt, concrete, tarmac, tranm and taxiway marks) Whilst stupidly forgetting to backup my old textures, which I thought I'd done ages ago.
The new textures just aren't nice at all- far too weathered looking for a well maintained airport!
sooo.....Can anybody please email me the original 5 files from their FSX\Texture file please? I'd be eternally greatfull as I've put a lot of work into a few airports with ADE.

Secondly, I'm trying to create a very dark or even black texture for the tarmac taxiway to use at GCRR Lanzarote as seen here...

I've tried using a DDS editor after making a BMP and converting to DDS but it doesn't seem to convert. Any ideas on how I can get a black taxiway?

Many thanks!

Mask off the taxiway/

On a new layer, paint the masked taxiway black. Adjust the layer transparency/blending to get the "right" darkness (while preserving the taxiway's texture.

If you didn't mask off the taxi lines correctly, you may have to retouch them.

Work with the layer transparency/blending of your paint program.

Thanks Felix that's the route I took, so at least I know I'm on the right track. It must be a fault with the DDS conversion program as it didn't want to turn my nice new tarmac .bmp into a DDS file, so I think I'll have a look at the conversion program I'm using.

Thanks!
