• 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.

Surface empty in FSX?

I create a airport terminal model in 3D Max and then export to the Gmax, then I want to export a MDL file from gmax and put it in into FSX by ADE.

The model looks good both in Gmax and 3D Max:

but when I put it in the ModelConvertX or FSX, some surface look empty, but when I look inside, it's normal. Can I repair this problem in Gmax?

In the listing below the MCX pictures, do you get a message that any texture failed to load? If so, then there is a problem with that texture.

If not, click on the Material Editor and find the missing texture in the list. Does it display in the little box properly? Check the Highlight Selected box and click on that material to select it. Do those areas turn red in the model display?
 
I think you have to flip Normal of the polygons that you can see inside (but not outside). Choose Element and click on what you want then click on Flip Normal.
