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.

Hi Patrick,
Don't know it exactly. But AFAIK flight simulator "looks for" local textures in the texture folder of the scenery first. This would mean that the duration for collecting the used textures would be a little bit longer if flight simulator eventually is findinding the relevant textures in the main texture folder.

Hi Gianni...that is what I thought. My idea is that the FS engine is made to look for the texture in the parallel texture folder to the scenery folder and if it doesn't find it there it would look in the general texture folder.
I am just wondering why some developers insist in sticking them in the general texture folder.

Hi,
I would advice against putting them in the general texture folder. That makes it almost impossible to uninstall your scenery later on, since you never know which textures belong to it. So I would always put them in the local texture folder, that belongs to the scenery folder of the BGL that is using the textures.
