• 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.

Missing Textures Issue in MSFS (Pink textures)

Hey people!

I am relatively new to MSFS modding. But i encountered a few issues i just can't find a fix for right now. I was looking for hours in the Internet, searched trough dozens of Tutorials but none fixed my issue.
I am going to try and explain as good as i can because i am german and my english is not that great:

- I was trying to convert an P3D Scenery to MSFS with MCX. I imported the .bgl file into MCX and it loaded in with all textures applied and the model seemed perfect in MCX. I chose the option "Export Object"
- To here everything worked out as planend. I've got my .gltf file that i can import into Blender. I did so and the model loaded in but with no textures applied. Then i tried the blender option "Find Missing Files" and chose the original texture folder and clicked continue. But Blender said it couldn't find the textures as it was looking for .bmp files but i only found .dds files in the original P3D Model.
Here is a screenshot:

That is my first issue i can't find a fix for


- I said fine, i'll first try to import a simple 3D Model from Blender to MSFS.
- Did all the steps as in various YouTube tutorials, applied a Standard texture with MSFS Toolkit and while exporting i also checked important boxes and said Blender that textures need to go to "../textures/"
- I loaded up MSFS, opened the SDK and found my object. I added it onto my scene and it acutally spawned but with a pink and black checkered "texture" on it.

I don't understand why MSFS can't find the textures. I will add a screenshot of the console error it gave me while building the package:

Any help would be appreciated a lot!!!! After hours of searching for a fix i couldn't find one.
 
I think that you will need to convert the dds files to bmp files. Model converter X will allow you to do that (import the P3D model) then export the textures to a spare folder selecting BMP as the texture type. and then exporting the model to the same folder. Also when working in Blender the textures need to be in the same folder as the gltf files unlike in MSFS where they need to be the the texture folder in the same folder as the gltf. Confusing eh?

You might mean "png" file format.

Also, LTBA Istanbul Ataturk seems like an ambitious project for a personal developer to have created for P3D, that he now wants to move to MSFS. All of the available versions of LTBA have some sort of restriction, either author imposed, or commercial. While this particular sceneries origin is not established and developers are welcome to work within their own systems, or offer insights of their own software online, sharing methods to circumvent copyright restrictions, at a developers website, amounts to facilitating the same.
