• 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.

    Adding PBR to MSFS imports of FSX airplanes?

    I imported the VirtualCol CRJ-200 into MSFS yesterday, and more or less successfully managed to merge it with the Aerosoft CRJ cockpit. Only downside is the cockpit flickers like crazy, but it's still an amazing feat I didn't think was possible. Next task is adding PBR to the model... but there...

    MCX MCX - possible to save a "MCX project"?

    So - Having a LOT of FSX/P3Dx.x 3D assets created in 3DS MAX 8 (compatible with older SDKs), and still reluctant to plunge and purchase the latest 3DS MAX upgrade, I am converting them into MSFS format using MCX. My current workflow is: Edit MAX 3D geometry/materials in 3DS MAX 8 Export them to...

    HI GUYS, So I have this mesh on top of my aircraft. It keeps turning black at a certain time of the day. Normally slightly when the sun is at 1%. This is a mesh exported from blender. I've followed the default aircrafts shading configurations and utilized default NORM & COMP textures as well...

    MSFS PBR Textures Too Shiny & Metallic

    I'm having an issue with many PBR textures I download (particularly it seems those from textures.com) where the textures are showing up in MSFS as way too shiny and metallic/relective. One example is below, the tiles on the building are extremely shiny both during the day, and at night. I...

    P3D v5 Ground polygon issue transparent PBR Material

    Hello guys! The issue consists in the fact that some of the translucent layers (PBR materials) from my custom ground poly, disappear at certain view angles. If I set materials to opaque the problem goes away. Z-Bias begins from 4 to 6, 8 and so on... There's no "overlapping" z-bias layers. The...

    MSFS Roughness Clamped Values

    Hi, Something I don't understand is the way how the MSFS Engine is dealing with the roughness. Looks like the roughness values are clamped. It is not a full range between 0-255. I presume it is related to PBR physical correct values and computation optimization (less data to compute if you use a...

    MSFS PBR Textures for CUSTOM MATERIALS

    Hi all, In an attempt to expand processes and get away from projected mesh issues (especially in the last couple SDK updates), I'm looking to use the built-in apron feature of the SDK to make some pavement areas. So far, I've only been able to import the base textures via custom materials, but...

    MSFS Wrong reflection with PBR material

    Hello! I've got some really weird reflection on my metal parts. I feel I'm on the cusp of finding out what I'm doing wrong, but it would really help me out if someone could point me in the right direction. Here is the problem, it's hard to explain except by "when a metallic material is applied...

    Comparing the 3 ways to texture the ground...

    There are pro's and cons for every method of ground texturing. Firstly I put all three options side by side (for what it's worth this is just a flat plane textured in Substance). Right off the bat we can see how awesome the Scenery object renders in the game's engine. If only the other 2...

It doesnt matter if EA is active or not. I also tried removing metallic and normal map from the material and to...

    P3D v5 Can i have bump textures with interior cabin light effects?

    So for years i always had to skip having bump maps because we do not use night textures besides the main panel. This way our realism is accurate for the lighting electrical system. We use effects for cabin lights, cockpit overhead lights, maps lights and other lights. Of course the panel we use...
