• 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.

Question about editing FSX aircraft textures.

sorry if this is the wrong place for this but i couldnt find anywhere else this could be. I want to edit FSX aircraft textures, the default white textures, i have photoshop CS3 but im a noob at it. Is there any tutorials on how to edit default FSX textures?
I can get the textures in Photoshop but i dont know how to sort out the layers or anything, cause in the sample textures in the SDK the layers are already there but in the default textures they arent.

Hi,

The aircraft textures you'll find in each aircraft \texture folder are not multi-layer graphics files of any kind; they just have one single background layer plus an alpha channel.
 
It depends on the plane in question, and whether or not a "layered" file (also known as a "paint kit") exists for that plane. Some planes have them, some don't.

Hope that helps :)
