• 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

Has anyone run into a 'missing textures' problem?
I've added a few objects to my scenery project that seem to ignore the fact that the textures are there in the proper folder. I completely deleted the GA static aircraft lib. for Runway 12 because of this problem, and now I seem to be running into it again.

These are g-max stairtrucks that I added; I think they may be one of Todd's creations although there was nothing in the file to say so. As you can see the textures are not being placed although they're in the right place.

The next two I KNOW are Todd's as I asked him for permission to use them. All of the textures seem to be there except for the 'signs', while the 'sign' textures on the barrels and crates ARE there!

This is an odd one. I could live without the signs perhaps, but I'd hate to lose the stairtrucks.

Jeff,

Judging by the size of the file and its dimensions, it looks like you have not converted the textures to DXT1 format and they are 24bit which FS does not read.

you could use image tool to load up the texture to see what format there in like stated above.....if its not in dxt-1 format, you can change it and save it with imagetool. also, check if there are mipmaps applied to the textures. it should say when you load the image in imagetool...if not, add mipmaps and that should help

Hi Jeff....yes if you have the textures in the right place then it must be a format issue.

Use ImageTool or DXTBmp to convert them to DXT1 and that should do it.

Thanks
Todd
 
Thanks Guys:
I took your advice and 'dtx'ed them and that seems to have solved the problem. Is there something that causes a change when you download textures, or is it something that happens when the file is 'zipped'?

Missing textures - default aircraft also

Jeff.
I have today raised a thread as I have missing cessna 172 textures whilst others seem OK. These are default MS (possibly the fault of MS :) . Had no responses yet however.

Regards
 
Hi,

You posted this problem in two places. As it is aircraft related and not scenery related, please keep the discussion in one thread (the one in the aircraft forum). Thanks,
