• 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.

I am making ground texture for FSX using Gmax. Then I exported to MCX but only 5 layers show up at a time in Ground polygon wizard. I have 6+ . Is there a way to over ride that limitation?
 
I make more than six but I do not work with Gmax.
Are you sure that you imported all of them first to make an mdl before using the GPW?
Often you have several of them that have to be merged before you can use the GPW.
 
I selected all I wanted from gmax= exported to mdl. And imported to GPW. It always shows max of 5 items.
Work around was to export others separately. But still, when I imported remaining 3, only 2 showed up. Again I had to export the 3rd piece separately.
 
MCX GPW does only take into account the number of different textures. If you have the same textures on two different layers, you will lose one layer. Well not lose it but the textures will be placed on the same layer. Could that be the problem?

I guess thats what happened. Let me see on my next ones.
 
You can also check in the material editor how many materials you see there.

Another thing that could happen is that some polygons are not flat, these are filtered out by default.
