• 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.

FSXA missing/wrong default _LM textures

Did anyone come across this before?
In my default FSX/texture folder there are several _LM textures that aren't illuminated at all. I'm pretty sure nobody changed them and assume ACES just forgot to create the correct ones.
I'm specifically talking about the polyline buildings (building blocks).
It's funny how ACES seem to had fun creating _LM versions for some of them, going down the list alphabetically, they did Asia, Arctic and Australia, but before moving to Australia_Red or any other following region, they lost fun and just included a darkened version of the diffuse texture as LM.
That means no night lighting for polyline buildings in Europe, Mid East, South America and even North America! :eek:
Europe North is even missing the complete LM texture.

You can find the textures in your FSX/texture folder as "BLD_REGION_1(2)_LM.dds"

Can anybody confirm this?
 
"Region" was meant as the placeholder for all those region names "Europe, Asia,...".
If you open those LM textures in your screenshot, you'll find that all following Australia" are not illuminated.
 
LOL yep I see what you mean…….power outage I guess.
