• 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.

Ok, so i imported a texture into photoshop, thinking hey its good, i exported it into gmax, then from gmax onto the model least i think i did, and then i exported it in flight sim and got this.

Can any1 please help me :(. For more info i did export the library and all that, put the bmp file into the texture folder.
 
Black objects normally indicate that the texture was not found. Which format did you use for the texture? FS can not read 24 bit BMP files. You'd better convert it to DDS textures with ImageTool.
 
It's in the Terrain SDK folder.
 
You won't be able to.
I keep the texture I am working on in PSD(photoshop) format to keep the layers etc. GMAX can read this.
Using image tool open the *.psd file and change to correct format eg DXT3, mip if required and save as DDS file
 
Yes, that is normal. You'd better keep some uncompressed version for use in GMax and as original source that you are editing. Then for in the FS texture folder you make a compressed version with mipmaps.
 
ok, now i tryed doing what you guys said, and when i export now i get this

Hi,

Those are warnings, so you should still get a MDL object in the end. Does that show the texture correctly?

The warnings indicate that you have polygons where two vertices are the same. Maybe you make a box with zero height or so?
