• 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.

FSDS Missing Textures

Hello,
I have the following problem with textures in FSDS.
I have made a model of a terminal building and in FSDS 3D view all textures are displayed correctly as intended.
However, when the model is displayed in FSX some of the textures are missing. A simple example is that I have a box with exactly the same texture on the front and back faces. This displays correctly in FSDS.
In FSX however, only the back face texture is shown. The front texture is missing.
Any help would be appreciated.

The initial questions are - are you sure that the missing textures are in the correct FS-X texture folder. and they are NOT 24-bit textures?
 
Hi Terry

The second question and a cause of much grief is did you check the box in FSDS for the use of night texture, and then forget to make and install the night textures into the correct texture folder?

Hi,
The answer to both above questions is:
Yes, the texture bitmaps are in their correct folder and are 8 bit textures.
No, I did not forget the night textures and they are also in the correct folder.
What I cannot understand is why, on a simple box, the exact same texture shows up on only one end, even though it is displayed correctly in FSDS.
Thanks for your help.
Terry
 
With some invaluable help from Farfy, this problem has now been solved.
Some of the textures selected were missing the "N" appendix to the file name and thus missing the night textures.
Others were wrongly sized. All the textures were thoroughly checked for correct designations and the files recompiled using different names than the originals. Everything is now working as intended.
