• 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.

MSFS20 Aliasing SimObject Textures

Is it possible to alias SimObject textures? I have a series of SimObjects which share common materials and I'd like to avoid texture duplication.

I know I can use texture.cfg to alias texture locations by using fallback directives, but I want to have a common location for a group of objects that share materials, so I don't have to have duplicates of the textures. Also, I's like to be able to automate the process, by which I mean, during export from 3DS MAX to "PackageSources", which then get compiled/converted to DDS and placed to "Packages", without having to manually copy the textures.

I tried to create a "Copy" type assets, and that works, but the copy process does not convert textures into DDS.
