• 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.

Vanishing textures fix?

I just used SAMM1114 to make a static deHavilland Mosquito. I placed about 15 around a WW2 airfield I've made. The textures don't appear until I get to about 1000 ft from the aircraft. I want to take screenshots but they're all white at 1000ft. The Gary20 Horsa gliders don't loose their textures by the way. Is there a fix for this?

I've got the SAMM Library with the Mosquito folder in C/Me/Documents. I've put the Mosquito folder (incl. textures) in the Addon Scenery folder & added it to the Scenery Library in the usual way, so I can use IS2 to place them.

Thanks, Terry.
 
I' ve heard of that problem before, It's said that have to do with the fact the model be for Fs9, Myself have that problem with a little tug boat, he look great but at distance the boat is white :D,
 
Well, could be...I just followed the tutorial....don't remember seeing mipmaps mentioned. How are they saved correctly?
 
SAMM uses the textures as supplied with the aircraft. It does not change them in any way.

It sounds like a LOD issue. If you use the aircraft as AI, does the same thing occur?

Thanks...I'll check that one out & get back to you.

I've noticed that when I load IS2 & then the scenery bgl, the Mosquitps vanish.....!! They're visible without IS2/scenery bgl loaded....
 
I think you're right. It flies off & about 2000 ft away turns white....

Is there a fix?
 
Sorry Terry, you can change the colour to which it turns (FallRBGA) using SAMM's texture editor but that's about it. It seems the aircraft author, for whatever reason, didn't texture the lowest LOD.

Have you tried contacting the author?

Thanks Don. I thought it's a Lucariny job but it's not.
I'll try another with better textures.

Cheers.
