• 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.

Hi Guys.
All my custom objects are coming out like this--pink/white-instead of the orininal texture. I have been making my custom objects for months with no issues, now after trying so many times after
the Update nothing works!!! is it Blender not gerenating the texture? I find myself at a corner with no solution...Can someone give me some help with thsi crazy situation???? Thank You.

That happens if the sim can't find the texture, or if the texture was not divisible by 4.
 
Hi Dick, Thank you-- The texture is 1024x1024 and it is located within the folder. When Blender generated the object it appears ok in its floder.

Have you updated the layout.json to inform the texture location of the addon, assuming you probably use MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe to update that? Just wanting to verify that's not the cause of the issue. I've sometimes forgotten to update the layout.json when I add something new or rename something leading to the pink missing textures.
 
Hi Dean M. Thank you for your comment.
I have Never done that! I just downloaded the app you mention. Do I just run the enclosed .Exe to do its thing?

In your addon folder there should be a layout.json and manifest.json. Just drag and drop the layout.json over the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe and it will update what's in the subfolder.

Example from one of the projects I'm working on:

Code: 
{
  "content": [
    {
      "path": "scenery/world/traffic/Traffic_AnsettAustraliaFinal.bgl",
      "size": 718624,
      "date": 133653456147287293
    },
    {
      "path": "scenery/world/traffic/Traffic_DigitalAviator.bgl",
      "size": 3112,
      "date": 133653187729895974
    }
  ]
}

Say I were to add a 3rd file named "test.bgl" into the traffic folder it'd need to be added to the layout.json

don't worry too much about size and date being correct if you manually update the json by hand, but MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe can easily get those figures and is the fastest and easiest method.

If you add new stuff to your addon folders, such as a new texture etc, unless it's referred to in the layout.json it won't be plugged into the sim when loading that addon.
