• 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.

Issue with multisource textures.

Hey guys,
I am stuck again. This has been a big learning process and its been more frustrating than fun as it usually is.

I am trying to make an airport texture out of multiple textures in one .bgl.
I exported 2 geotiffs and opened them in photoshop to edit them. When i finished, I took the info from the geography location file sbuilder produces and preety much pastes the coordniates I thought where correct. However, the first image does not align correctly, and the second one fails to compile. (There is no error, it just doesn't compile the inf file)

Here is the TMFviewer.

This is the inf code.
Code:

please help,
TIA
 
Never mind, I got it to work!.
It was a combination of the blendmask and a double space in the inf.
Its fun to troubleshoot and figure things out! kinda makes you feel like a programmer. :rolleyes:
