• 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.

P3D v4 HUD texture

Hello,

I'm trying to create a HUD for a virtual cockpit model. I've followed the Collimated HUDS in FSX and P3d tutorial and cant seem to get it to work. The HUD appears where its supposed to along with the gauge items on it, but its not transparent and the view is not limited by the tunnel.

The steps I've tried so far are:

  1. Build the "Tunnel" and the HUD Gauge Plane making sure that they are not merged and that the HUD Gauge Plane was made after the Tunnel.
  2. Texture the HUD with the settings in the attached file and using a diffuse texture called $VC_HUD.BMP
  3. Export to mdl and test in P3d.
Am I right in thinking the VC_HUD.bmp needs to contain an alpha channel and be converted to DXT5? Does it also need converting to a dds texture?

Any help is much appreciated.
