• 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.

Arno,...

Would it be possible to place a symbol or even a "smiley face" in preview to represent the Environmental map showing? and maybe even have it represent the transparency or reflection on glass....

Make it like the highlight feature within material editor if clicked/checked?
 
Hi,

I am not sure if I understand what you mean with a smiley for the environment map, but I would like to have the preview show reflections and bump mapping in the future. Not sure how easy it would be to add that though (I think FSX uses its own shaders for that).

Or are you more looking for a quick and easy way to see if these features are present or not?

Yes... something to show quickly if the feature is present... or not... is what I was asking...

Actually I was thinking more on the lines of it phasing in and out if the feature if present and depending on the reflection would depend on the transparency/opaqueness (showing the symbol or "smiley face" once a tab is clicked or not). But what you said last would be beneifical to start off with. Just showing a smiley face to represent that the feature is "on" would be a step in that direction.
