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.

Arno,
In your posting you wrote: "The drawcall minimizer makes as much texture sheets as it needs to fit all the textures on.
"
Do you check for multiple use of the same textures when filling the new texture sheets? When I try to reduce textures I get more copies of the same texture on the sheet. Is it necessary to have all textures with the same resolution?
Another question is: what does the "Add Border" function mean?
Regards,
Heinrich

Hi Heinrich,
There are two cases when you can get multiple textures that look the same:
1. The textures are almost the same, but not exactly. This happens often in SketchUp models.
2. The texture is tiled. With the include repeating textures setting on, the tool will tile the texture in the resulting sheet, so that the tiled texture can be eliminated as well. If you don't want this you can disable the option.
The option add border adds an additional border of the specified amount of pixels around the texture. This can help to prevent seams at the edges of textures.
