• 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.

LightMap Texture Distortion

Hi all,

lately I ve been having problems with creating some lightmaps for FSX, don't know why i just noticed now or i m just being picky lately...:D

what happens is that, at night, the texture within FSX get distorted in the sense that i m getting ugly discolouration and gets kind of 'multicoloured' at some spots? in other words, gets quite dirty. That happens mostly when texture is extracted from real images. the effect is more obvious from a very close distance.

is this effect smth others have seen, or have found a way to minimise?

replying to myself now..:D

(using PSP) it turned out that while making my lightmap i was reducing the brightness of the diffuse map by the output level menu. when i reduced through lightness (hue/saturation panel), texture distortion was removed....;)
 
I read the original post, but havng not encountered this, I didn't have an answer.

Nice that it's sorted!
