• 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.

Using a project multiple times

Hi,

I have been making multiple hangars by taking one project and duplicating it, then modifying it and saving it as a new project that I will compile.
Basically, I take hangar1.fsc and copy it to make hangar2.fsc and then modify the textures of hangar2.fsc and then export it.

After changing the polygon textures and part textures, I then export it to MDL. However, once in FS9 the object shows up with the correct part textures (The ones that I used the FSDS "front,back,side" feature on) but the polygonal textures are showing the previous project's texture.

For example, Hangar2 is showing some textures of Hangar1.

I double checked that I had all the textures in the texture list and everything appeared correctly in FSDS preview window.

So, what could be causing this problem?

Here are a couple pictures explained using the Hangar1 and Hangar2 example:

Hangar 2 showing correctly in FSDS

I have had this problem with FSDS 3 myself. I think I had to go back to the texture list and delete the offending texture, then go to the texture assignment box, clear all the part textures (even if none show), hit the clear all polygon textures button on the part texture assignments box and retexture the polys.

Enjoy!
