• 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.

Hi guys, need some more radar help. I made a smaller version of my animated radar dish to use as a field deployable mobile radar system like the one just installed by the Air National Guard to use with the air traffic control training at Stanly County Airport.

I got the animation to work fine, but there's a problem......... the entire dish isn't showing up, just the main part and the top piece. I've attached a comparison shot between what is showing up in FSX and what is there in FSDS (and what is SUPPOSED to be showing up)

what's wrong here?

Hi jonmkj
As always the first thing to check is those darn night textures. If you have checked the night texture box in FSDS make sure you have them in the correct folder and correct format.

Farfy, that was exactly it! I had a night texture checked in the box, but didn't have an actual night texture (just hadn't gotten to it yet). I just made a copy of the day texture and added the _lm extension to it, and voila, the radar looks fine now. I'll make the texture actually look like a night texture later, I'm just working on detailing the radar site at this point.

Thanks a bunch!
 
Ah very good.
Gota watch them night textures, they will get you every time.

what is the cause of that though? how can not having a night texture cause part of the model to just not show up? it looks like it would affect the whole thing?
 
I wish I knew but I don’t, missing night textures can cause some strange things from missing a single polygons too missing complete parts too my favorite, totally exploded objects.
When you see something that look totally crazy go check your night textures.
