• 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 Detail map refuses to work correctly

I am texturing a simobject with the detail texture, but for whatever reason, in MSFS2020, the sim applies the detail texture throughout the entire object when I very clearly set vertex colors to 0 for the areas where I do not want this texture to appear.

In the below example, the tan-ish part is set to 0.0 alpha vertex color in the vertex color property within 3dsmax.

In the sim however, the very areas that I clearly marked to not have a detail map still has the detail map applied. I have re-exported the model about 3 times, with no changes in terms of the detail map issue. In the 3dsmax viewport, the detail map is not applied, but in the sim, it is. The object I am applying this to is not a part of a multi-material but is an instanced object (in case if that matters).
