• 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.

Dimmable night lighting problem

Hi all,
I don't suppose anyone has any insight into what might be causing this problem I'm having when trying to set up some dimmable lighting in our Hawk? I'm trying to use the method where an XML gauge is used to draw the night lighting onto the panel, with different transparencies to simulate the dimming.
It's almost working - the texture dimming can be controlled, but the night lighting is drawn very blurry.

The image at the top is the lighting when applied to the Self Illuminating channel directly.
Below that is how the texture appears when it is applied via the gauge. As I say, the dimming part works fine, it's just the blurring that is the issue.
As far as I can tell, the file sizes all match - 4096 textures are used across the board and the gauge is drawing them at 4096.

Anyone have any insight into what might be causing this issue?

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!
 
Max panel texture size is 1024. Unlike normal textures.
