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.
Location of slope exceed rock texture?

Hi Frank,
that actually depends on the class. In FS9 all slope-directed changes to rock were using class 130 (056*.bmp) but in FSX there are more choices. All FSX ground textures are stored in \Scenery\World\texture.
You can download my land class table - http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=57245 - and extract the information for a specific class from columns E, F, and G. As you'll see most classes use #148 (080*.bmp) but not all of them do. Moreover, some regions have their own rock texture variants (see worksheet "Other Regions" of my table).
Please keep in mind that my table is actually a simplification of the highly complex FSX land class system. According to ACES there are about a dozen slope thresholds now and the three I've listed are just those most often used. I also noticed that sometimes the rock textures used differ within a class, i.e., it first switches to one rock class, then to another, then back to the first. Not sure if all of that is intentional!?!
Cheers, Holger
