• 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 Question

Don't know if this is the right forum to post this question but here it is.

Using FSDS V 3.5.1 I've designed an old Style army barracks with a white texture. It looks

just fine in the photo editor and just fine in FSDS but when I get it into FSX instead of

white it looks grey.

What I do is edit the texture in Photoshop CS5 and save as a 24 bit bmp.

Then load that bmp into DXTBMP

Send it to CS5 for more editing, and then save as norm

Then back to DXTBMP and reload after edit

Save the texture as an extended BMP

Boot FSX and like I said, instead of white it's grey.

Can anyone tell me how to get this texture to show up as white.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. When I tried saving as a 24 bit bmp all parts of the barracks that used that texture didn't show up.

Maybe it is just the that the texture is lost, the object is without texture, any way I always recommend to look the object with Modelconvertex to check this Kind of things. it can give you more clues or ideas about what the problem is. not see any problem in the creation of the texture.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I've narrowed it down to shadows causing the problem. Had the sim set to noon with the sun directly overhead. The roof overhang is causing a shadow to be cast over the sides of the structure and that's what's causing the white to be grey.

I will run it through Modelconvertorx just to be sure. Thanks again.
