• 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.

Flip UVs ?

Would it be possible to add the ability to vertically flip the UVs? We can flip textures, but there may be times we need to keep the texture as they are, but still flip the viewed image, hence the idea of flipping UVs. In Blender we can save an image of the UVs, flip it, and load it back into the UV editor. This might be useful if someone is trying to recover a mesh, but reference the textures using texture.cfg in MSFS, rather than load the textures.
 
Yes, that should be possible to add. I'll have a look at it. It might even be I have such functionality somewhere in the code already.
 
Dick, do you forsee this to be done at object level or at model part level?
 
Probably easier for you at the model level? Object level would make more sense for use in Blender, for example.
 
I guess i can do both, object level from the special tools menu and on part level from the hierarchy editor.
 
Hi Dick,

We had some more discussion in the PM, that resulted in two things:
  1. I changed how MCX loads the textures of a compiled MSFS glTF model, instead of flipping the UV coordinates now the textures are flipped on import. That prevents the kinds of issues that you encountered when later exporting the same model again.
  2. I have added an option in the hierarchy editor to flip the UV coordinates vertically of a model part, so that users have a way to manually correct such issues.
Both changes will be in the next development release.
