• 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.

Texture files question

Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some help with the texture files on the newer carenado models. I understand the painting part without a layered paintkit. What I don't seem to get are the different texture files in the folder and what their function is. For example in a DA-62 you'll find, CDASD_ext1 where I do the painting and save it as a dds in dxt5, then you have CDASD_ext1_spec and in some other models other files with different characteristics. I assume it has to do with the light effects and shading and so on, I just don't know how the paint itself should be modified to fit these formats.
thanks
 
Often times those files do not need to be edited at all. If your repaint looks good without editing them, you're fine.
 
Unfortunately there is something I am missing. I believe those texture files have something to do with lighting. The external texture in daylight seems ok, but the virtual cockpit and the inside viewed from the outside is al black and I haven't modified any of that.
