• 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.

Per the attached two pics, I am back dabbling in GMAX.....the GMAX pic looks OK, but the screen grab from FSX-XE looks like the textures shifted to the left. Any of the GMAX experts have any idea what I might be doing wrong?? Help is appreciated.

I've seen that before. If it's the same issue I had, it's to do with the format of the textures used in Gmax. They appear slightly offset in Gmax so when you line it up in there it shifts when converted for FSX. Unfortunately it was a long time ago so I can't remember which was the offending format! I always use PSDs these days.
 
I use PSDs or 24 bit BMP files (millions of colors). I think TGA files work as well. As Dave said, other formats can appear offset in GMAX.
 
Gentlemen, thank you so much for your responses. Switched the texture files to 24 bit BMP's and all seems right with the world! :-) I now have to ask a stupid question...What is a 'PSD' ???? I keep learning new stuff to go with a program(s) that I have played with for years.:-)
Again, Thanks much

PSD is native Photoshop files. They don't display in Gmax unless I've missed something all these years; I use bmp or jpg in Gmax.
