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.

Drawing Order (Transparency Again!)
Hello Pierrot I knew that one (there are a lot of small "must-be's" in FSDS). The trees and textures are made by myself and the material applied is named "trans". Tricky, I seem to respect all FSDS requirements, but it doesn't display fine. Thanks. Daniele -

Drawing Order (Transparency Again!)
Hello All and one more topic with transparency, sorry... I've read through all other topics, but no chance. Problem: I designed a tree in FSDS 3.5.1, made a pole and then made a disk and applied a texture with alpha channel for transparency with a tree to the disk (I applyied the... -

Exact (precise) coordinates for placement?
Yes!!!!!! Dear Dick that's exactly what I needed, now I see decimal-coordinates and I can precisely place my effects correspondingly! Thanks a lot. :):):) Dear Arno thanks for your reply too, but unfortuunately FSDS (that's how I do my modeling) doesn't support the attachment of...- fsvamp

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear all I sorted everything out and now I do not have any problems any more. There were several reasons for my textures not appearing, and as a complete newbie in scenery design, I just fell in every possible trap: DO NOT'S I DID: :censored: - missing night texture, if FSX doesn't... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear arno the problems are mostly solved, it was a combination of wrong file formats while designing within FSDS and the thing of not displaying textures if applied to all sides of an object (this is still hanging at Abacus support)... I am a newbie, so sorry bothering you, but your hint... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear arno I checked again, and... you are right, on one side the texture is displayed!!!!! Super. Now the problem is, in FSDS I applied the texture on all 6 sides! Why is only one side showed? Thats's the big question. I will bring this up at Abacus Support, perhaps they will have an idea on... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear arno thanks for your checking, how did you find out? Well in FSDS I applied the texture to all 6 sides, and there they are correctly displayed! So it must happen while producing the object for FSX out of FSDS, the texture application to other sides must have gone lost somehow... I'll... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear Arno I really appreciate your help, thank you. Yes the texture is in the subdirectory named "texture" of the object library directory. The object library is found, because with Instant Scenery I can place the object and then after creating a new scenery file it is displayed correctly... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear Felix no, unfortunately it's not (as it is usually) that obvious mistake! The texture format is correct and the name too (opening the model file .mdl and library file .bgl with an editor shows a lot of crap, but the file name of the texture is readable and correct). Help... I really... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear arno thanks for reply. Yes the texture shouldn't be the problem, as I used an existing and already correctly working one... I think something goes wrong while compiling the .mdl file with xtomdl.exe. It must be some problem that results in FSX not finding the correct texture even if... -

Desperate - Textures not appearing
Dear all, I am desperate... I developed a part with FSDS V3.5, applied textures showing correctly in the 3D preview of FSDS... then I created a scenery object file (.mdl) with FSDS V3.5 compiling with xtomdl.exe of the FSX Deluxe SDK... then added it to a object library with LibraryMaker...
