• 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.

Ground Poly Problem

Hi,

Im using a principe of work like this: Make a texture in photoshop like (base texture, over it centerline then some dirt) and put it directly on the polygon in 3ds max and i expored it and when i test it, it is loading slowly, the ground poly is loading how im approaching to it he is loading (following my approach the ground poly is loading), help ? I will upload a video for 20 minutes it is 700-800mb and my upload speed is so low, so if you can understand the problem using this text above, help me if you want and can, know.Thank you so much, really appreciate, Teo.
 
There's nothing wrong with the ground poly as far as I can see.
I guess you are talking about the blurry textures that become sharper when closing up?
That's because of the mip maps in the texture file. You can play around with the filters when exporting or increase the resolution of the texture.
I would not recommend exporting without mip maps as it would result in a moiré flickering especially in the distance.
 
@dave hoeffgen yes im thought about it, btw all my textures have mipmaps, open it with ImageTool, Edit and press Add Mip Map (i think) and export it to .dds. whats wrong?
 
The filter method the image tool uses when generating mip maps is not that good IMHO. You may want to try a .dds plugin inside Photoshop. Just Google for it. BTW which resolution do your textures have?
 
I checked anti aliasing in my settings tab but didnt work still ..

It should. I recommend the Kaiser filter. It should be to be selected from an according dialog on export.
 
Don't know. I can only tell about the plugin for gimp but I'm sure there is something very similar for PS. Just search Google for "Photoshop dds plugin".
 
More than 1024x1024 and 2048x2048 ?? All textures is 1024x1024 except the runway/taxiway texture (main asphalt/concrete texture), i dont have 512x512 sorry..
 
btw can you give me a contact skype or facebook or whatever, just not to spam here ?? In private message btw if you want!
