• 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

I have ShowMissingTextureAlert=1 in the fsx.cfg and am seeing multiple missing textures such as "buildingdefault.bmp".

Can I take another bmp from the fsx\texture folder and copy/rename to that which is missing or can I create a blank texture? If so, what format should it be and should it have lods?

Hi George,

You can do both of course.

If you copy an existing texture, you might see some weird mappings on some objects.

And if you create a blank texture, I would use a darker colour so that it does not look to weird. As you want a simple dummy texture I would keep it small (32x32 pixels or so) and just save it as DXT1 with mipmaps.
 
Thanks Arno, I will use air_w2.bmp and see if I can spot it.

George

ps. That worked fine, I no longer get the missing texture message.
