• 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.

Resizing texture files

Hi,

Yesterday I decreased the size of a texture for a ship, from 1014x1024 to 512x512, directly in the texture folder, without anything else (no recompiling of the MDL nor the scenery). The result was a less detailed (and weightless) texture but the operation was successfull.

Do I have to conclude that the scenery or the model "inside" it recalculates the texture coordinates? Is it have a relation with the mip-maps procedure? Can I do the same operation on any scenery or model? Can I reduce the texture in a more drastic proportion (ex : from 1024x1024 to 256x256)?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Inside the model the texture coordinates are not stored as pixels, but in a range between 0.0 and 1.0. So you can scale the image in any way you want, the mapping will remain valid.
