• 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.

Hello!

I'm currently creating PBR textures for my current project. While the creation is not too difficult, I have not yet found a way to directly check the changes to the textures in the MFS.
Does anyone know how to reload the textures in the MFS so that you can see the changes immediately?
I would be very happy to receive a tip :)

Wish everyone a relaxing weekend!

Firstly load the project in the sim and load the model BGL in the editor.

If you export your model in 3DS max it will instantly update any changes in the sim. I use this to amend elevation on objects in large scenes due to the terrain variations.

Once you close the scenery editor it will revert back to the package in the community folder so to finalise any changes you will still need to build the package.

Tried it as described, unfortunately it doesn't work. The changes to the textures are not displayed even after the rebuild. Or did you mean that you have to reload the package by restarting MSFS?
