• 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,
I have just worked out how to textures aircraft in FSDS 3.5.1, i have made my own textures in paintshop pro, to the correct size, they show up on FSDS but once i have compiled the aircraft, they do not show up in FS9.

i have set up the texture path to:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Texture.

is this right?
can anyone help me?
 
No. Textures used for an aircraft must go in that aircraft's ..\texture folder. They must also be converted a format FS can use, such as DXT3.bmp for FS9, or DDS/DXT5 for FSX.
 
Thanks,
but i can't because the file hasn't been created yet, so you can't put as that aircrafts texture folder because it doen't exist at that time, i have tried changing it to that in the config but no luck. i think it is something wrong with how i'm making the .BMPs, do both sides have to be the same size?
 
For FS textures need to have a size that is a power of two. So that means e.g. 256x256, 512x512. But 512x256 is also valid. So as long as both sides are a power of two you are fine.
