• 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.

Mipmapping worth it these days?

With texture size increasing and settings on the sim improving shimmering is it worth including mipmapping in our textures? I found a long time ago it seemed to make the exterior decals look worse and customers reported this and i found we accidentally turned that mode on in DXTBMP. So i have never used it since. So what do you do? Should we be using it?
 
I turn mip-mapping off for external models, but leave it on for the VC - seems to be the best compromise at the moment for FSX / P3D.
 
It really depends on the user's video settings. If I release an aircraft texture without mips I get comments about sparkling and shimmering. If I mip them, I get comments about the blurries.
