• 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.

If I don't use mipmaps, my textures look a little too "sparkly", and if I DO use mipmaps, they seem to be a little too blurry. Any suggestions?
 
I think the best way is to manually draw each mip map. You can add how much sharpen you want to each mip map. Boring but efective
 
Hi.
In this case ImageTool is the adequet program.
Let's presume that tou have a .bmp file that's 1024/1204. You will have to make a 512/512 file a 256/256, a 128/128...etc
For each file you will add as mutch sharp as you want. PhotoShop does this very nicely however other program can do just the same.
Open imagetool then import your initial texture. Let's say it's 1024/1024. Then go to Image > Add Mip Maps. You select the 512/512 version, then again Image > Add Mip Maps and select the 256/256 version and so on.

Just as you will find out ImageTool will generate for a 1024/1204px .bmp file 11 levels of Mip Maps. However every time you import your own mipmap it will replace the one generated by imagetool

This way of adding your own mipmaps is very useful when the texture for objects (NOT ground poly) is flickering / vibrating

Sorry for my english,
Andrei
