• 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.

A friend overseas has just started to use gmax and cannot get .tga textures to show transparent in gmax.It shows on my computer but wont on his.
Any suggestions please.

Ok – I just tried to reapply the TGA texture. Didn’t help either.
I’m honestly thinking that its related to some video driver problem on my system. You don’t seem to have any issues with Gmax using OpenGL as the driver. But when I select OpenGL my screens change to black when ever I select something on the object to work on.
 
If you are using Windows 7 or Vista make sure you disable Desktop Composition on the shortcut that you use to run Gmax.

This is because Gmax (being ancient) is not compatible with the Windows Aero GUI.

If you are using the Software driver ... that is likely to be your problem.

Use OpenGL (or my prefernce) DirectX
 
Thanks.
