• 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.

I've finished my airport terminal. However, I'm absolutely stuck on one last issue.
I have the words "Beirut International Airport" near the top of the terminal exterior wall. It is extruded by 5cm in Sketchup and has it's own dedicated texture which is now in MCX along with the rest of the textures.
I have created an LM texture for it with the exact same name but it's not lit up at all in FSXA. All my windows are bright as expected so I know how to create and name LM textures.
I'm wondering if it's because the words are extruded. Any advice would be great.

Edit: In MCX /Texture Night Render Mode, that LM is not lighting up. The windows are.

Is that texture listed as the emissive texture in that texture’s material? Check the spelling and make sure there’s no path included in the file name.
 
Tom, thanks for coming by. I had a rare moment of inspiration. I made each letter a 'unique texture' in Sketchup which seems to have worked. I now have my LM textures displayed but now I have a TEXTURE folder in my ADD ON SCENERY/TEXTURE folder with about 65 textures but it works...somehow.
