• 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.

FSDS2 model in FSX

Hi there. When I try to import my FSDS2 model into FSX, everything works just fine, except that the model loses its specular shine. I'm not referring to the alpha shine, but rather the one that is a part of the model itself.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Mike
 
FSDS does not handle specular "maps" as gmax / 3DS Max do.

Within FSDS, look at the specular color/power assignments in the texture selection dialog and adjust there as necessary.
 
Many thanks, Felix. A slow loading texture in FSX revealed that specular shine was inded there - but I'd forgotten to check the reflective textures box in FSDS.:o

Just as a general reminder... FSDS2 builds to the FS2002 SDKs. As long as a particular FS2002 feature is supported in FS-X, we're okay.
