• 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.

Hi,
I have done tree by mdl tweakerII and make plane rotate to user. But it is strange when I saw the model. I found that the light on the model is on the wrong side.
The attached picture was 14.00 o'clock and the light on 01.jpg was dull which was the side that sunlight hit but when I looked back the other side, the model shine as if the light is from behind at 8.00 am.
What should I do to correct this problem.?
Best Regards,
jtanabodee.

Hi,

What many people do is use a vertical normal, so that the lighting is constant. There is an option for that in MDL Tweaker as well.
 
ํYes, I did that Arno.
It became dark on both side. How can we brighten up this?

Hi,
I know what is the mistake I made.
I use texture ds_ and it map both side. Then I forgot to turn the plane to Y axis. So it show me the back side of ds_texture.
Thanks for the reply Arno.
Best Regards,

Ah, yes that could be an issue indeed. When rotating to the user there is no need to make them double sided anymore.
