• 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.

FSX Ground poly

Hi all,

I wonder if someone could help me. I want to create a runway poly. I have read Bill Womack's article and understand the process and I can create and texture a ploygon in gmax. I use Arno's ModelConverterX and export the compiled bgl into the sim.

My problem is that although I can see the texture in GMAX I cannot see it in ModelConverterx. I have checked the correct paths in Model ConverterX to ensure they are mapped to where the texture is and the texture is placed in teh appropriate texture folder. The poly shows up in the sim minus the texture. I am sure I am missing something simple - anyone any ideas? I attach some screen shots

Hi,

What do you see in the material editor of modelconverterx? Are the textures shown there. Also check the event log for warnings.

Hi Arno,

Schoolboy error caused by not using gmax for a while - I was exporting ambient rather than diffuse texture....

It works now. Thank you.

Met vriendelijke groet.
