• 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.

Gmax export error ''Possible texture issue''

When ever I try to add a mew texture to my airport which is not a part of anything else, it does not work, and I get export errors.

When I try to add a texture which is already a part of the airport, to the specific object, it exports fine.

This is strange.

The texture is:

512x512
DXT3
File name: Gate36&37Low.jpg and .bmp for fsx.
The problem always comes with this texture, and even after renaming the texture.

I have also made new textures just to test it on the object, but the story is the same, I can't export.

Does anyone know what is causing this, and how to get it to work again?
Even if I add a new object in the airport, and apply the same or a new texture not used elsewhere, the story is the same.

I even did a new scene with a texture from my other scene, which does not work either.

It just wont export unless I use a texture already in the scene.
Vertices and faces are well inside the export limit, so no problem there.
I have never come across this problem before.
The airport is almost complete, but now I got this error.

Sad at my room for est 2 hours thinking about this issue, and it hit me.
The symbol &.

Gmax can't read it.
I removed it from the texture file name, and every thing worked out just fine.
 
Oops! Yes, we have to watch those funky characters... :D I've been caught out on other weird characters myself... :D
 
When you write software, code, design, NEVER use filenames that contain any other character than A-Z,a-z,_,- or 0 to 9, You invite problems otherwise.

Probably the fallout effect from the people you (virtually) associate yourself with? (present compnay included)
