• 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.

What gmax video settings are you using?

Customize
Preferences
Viewports tab
Driver is displayed in the lower right.
Choose Driver button
I use OpenGL for some computers and Direct3D for others - whatever gives the best display without artifacts and crashing. Restart GMAX to see the changes.

Then press Configure Driver button
Top section unchecked except:
Use Increcremental Scene Updates checked
Use Generalized Vertex Arrays checked
Background Texture Size - 1024 button
Download Texture Size - 512 button, and check Match Bitmap Size as Closely as Possible
Texel Lookup - Anisotropic
Mipmap Lookup - Nearest (I think that's how FS does it?)

Press OK

I'm sure others have better settings; I haven't done a real study of this.

gmax display problems

Hi, Andreas

If the problem isn't resolved yet, send me the gmax files and the texure files you are using, to

fm31145@gmail.com

and I'll see what I can do.

The picture you posted is too vague.

A big thanks to tgibson, the dispay driver causes the artifacts, but what the hell causes the change ? Are there any keystrokes or shortcuts to change the driver setup ?

Regards
Andreas
