• 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.

    MSFS Substance Painter

    I have the same problem as you. Noticed that if I only use the albedo map it works fine, but as soon as I add the Normal or comp it goes wrong.

    MSFS Substance Painter

    What is the correct preset for materials in the material editor? Many of the default ground textures have one map which consist of a normal, roughness, metallic channel, which differs from the stand msfs2020 RGB AO, Rougness, metallic map.

    MSFS Custom Material problem

    I have found the solution.. As soon as I enter a map for the normal or metallic this happens. When I just use the alebedo it works fine. What would be the correct texture output for metallic and normal maps when using materials? I mean in which channels do I put them when exporting. They seem...

    MSFS Custom Material problem

    Hi all, I made my custom material using substance painter. I used the normal export preset with albedo, R+G+B for the OA Metal and Roughness, and a separate normal.

    MSFS 3DS Max vs Blender with FS2020

    You have the 3ds max Indie license option now available. Which is a fraction of the normal price. It is worth checking it out. For me personally I have never been a fan of blender. I am sure it is an excellent program, I just could never get used to it when used to 3ds Max. So I think it really...

    MSFS Blender2MSFS support thread

    same here. I thought maybe it was because of the model itself, but even a simple box gives an error when building the package. Tried as by replacing the xml with the sample box from the sdk and replace the guid. But no luck. It is not showing up in my object list. Either I am doing something...
