• 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.

Texturing Problem

Hi Everyone!

I have been having problems with my texturing in FSX. All of my textures that I have been applying to a test model is giving me a very large and dull looking specular hot spot. I can not figure out what my problems is. I have been working on this problem for about a week now. I thought at first that it may be because I am using Gimp to make my textures. So I purchased Adobe Photoshop. It did not fix my problem. So, I decided to check and see if it maybe my FSX material settings. So what I did was I copied a version of the piper cubs textures into my models texture folder and re-named it to work with my model. I was not worrying about it not being UV correctly. I just wanted to see if it gave me the specular hot spot problem that I was having with my other texture. When I tested it in FSX it did not have the specular hot spot. So that tells me that it has to be a problem with how I am making my texture.

I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Below I have attached images of my diffused and alpha that I am testing for the model. I have also attached images of how I have the material and texture setup in Blender.

I thank you for any help I can get.

Thanks, Kris

Here is my diffused map:

I exported my texture after applying the layer mask as a DXT5 format.

Hi F747fly!

Thanks!

I have made some progress with texturing with Blender and the Blender2FSX tools set. I found a couple problems with the tool set. I have made modifications to the tools set to fix errors that you can get by entering wrong values in FSX materials settings. My modified file can be downloaded in the Main Blender2FSX post. Below is an image of what the test aircraft looks like now.
