• 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.

Does Sketchup Import and Export DDS Texture Files

Hi,
I was wondering if Sketchup 2017 supports dds files. It seems that I can import them but it will not export the dds textures. When I tried to export the model from Sketchup that was imported with dds textures, it will only export 1 dds file, and I have 17 dds files. Not only that, the dds file is not valid. The reason I'm importing with dds files is because the KDFW model uses dds texture files which some of the ground is transparent. It does not use bmps. Since dds textures are flipped, I had to flip them vertically so that everything lines up when I import them into Sketchup. The problem is that Sketchup will not export the dds textures.

Ken.

No it doesn't. To turn your models into something useable in a sim you'll have to convert them via MCX anyway; all the texture conversion can be done in that process.
