• 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- Have you seen that V6.1 now has new PBR material flags?
Any way we can get these into MCX?

  • Added “Camera Facing Normals” flag to PBR material.
  • Added “Has Pixel Movement” flag to PBR material.
 
Hi,

No, I have not yet seen that. I didn't even notice P3D v6.1 was released. Hopefully those two new flags are described in the X format description of the SDK, then adding support for them to MCX should not be too hard.
 
Hi,

I had a look at the online SDK documentation, but did not see updated documentation of the X format there. Would somebody be able to generate a sample X file with 3ds max that uses these new flags?
 
Hi,

I got a sample a few weeks ago and I have started implementing the new options now.

It's more than these 2 material flags, there are a dozen of other material settings and you can have vertex colors in the MDL file as well now.
