• 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.

OpenFlight Issues

I will post all issues concerning the openflight export function here:

  • Texture uvw mappings "beyond the edge" is incorrect in the openflight model
  • Double sided textures (as defined in the FSX material parameters) seems not to be converted into the openflight model
What I mean with beyond the edge is the technique used when we want to achieve repeatitive tiling. E.g. for a fence, we just extend the right edge to U=20.0 in order to have 20 "fence tiles" on the polygon. I think you get the idea :D
In the openflight model, only the portion within the [0.0...1.0] uv-intervals are correctly displayed, the rest of the polygon is just a streched mess.

In the mdl tweaker tool, it works.

Hi,

It might be something in the attr file I think. I remember there are settings there for clamp or not, etc. I will check if there is a difference with MDL Tweaker for this part.

Let me check, I think I forgot to implement that flag in the OpenFlight writer indeed.
 
Yep, looking in a hex editor, the integer flag is set to 1 = 'TX_CLAMP' at the moment. Changing it to 0 = 'TX_REPEAT' solves it.
 
Hi,

I fixed both issues this morning. So in the next nightly build you will get those changes.
