• 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.

I want to change only the model material, I textured an object, but then I realized that I had used the standard material as base material, now is completly textured and I want change only the material to Fsx material.
As mayor problem I scaled up the model because a problem when converted from 3ds to Gmax (in Fsx the entire arport could fit in a handbag). and problably I will have problem if I try to texturize the object again from scratch.
 
I checked that the scaling of the object is no problem to texturize again, it seem the mapping is preserved, so no problem texturizing again the runway.
Anyway is weird how the materials are showing in the material navigator, take a look at the picture (attached), I select a new material and choose Fsx material and from " Asset browser" assign the textures to the material, but in the index it is presented as "standard material", it's usual.? All this have confused me a little.

Hi,

From the picture it seems you have 3 materials in your file and only one of them them is a FSX material (and that one is not used on the model now).

Why not just assign the texture from the material properties? It might be that using the assets browser creates a new standard material. I don't know for sure, since I never used that function.
 
Solved, the images are applied to the new material from Asset Browser, but in the maps buttons, diffuse or maps rollout. who could think of that :D, I was dragging the textures into the material slot directly, anyway regarding to the first question, how to get rid of the material I think one have to delete the entire slot, material and textures, and reapply again, not such a problem.
