• 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.

Flat Roof Autogen Texture Error

I have seen in the past that one of the flat roof textures is texture mapped incorrectly (I believe it was in a GEX forum), and instead of the roof texture showing, an A-line gabled wall texture appears on top.

Has anyone else come across this and is there any other flat roof style you could recommend that eliminates this problem.

I'm not running FTX so all the roof description spb's are original FSX stock. The only way I can see to fix this is replace the .spb with a fixed version, but then that would create issues with FTX users.
 
Hi Dean,

Yes, I have seen lots of problems with flat roofs. Either they have ugly walls or the texture mapping looks wrong. There is one type that I find acceptable, I'll have a look at the GUID when I'm home again.

What I am doing for my current project is using custom roofs, so that I can set my own textures.
 
That's not a bad idea Arno, I'm thinking of trying to tweak the default autogen roof definitions by tracking down and killing off the one with the pesky gable texture.
 
Frits, I believe that fix is just for those using Orbx FTX, for the default FSX roofdescriptions.spb there is still a bug which allows this texture issue to show up.
 
Has anyone successfully tracked down which GUID gives that particular texture bug? I'm looking myself right now but no success yet.
 
I haven't dug into it any further, I have just been looking at Utah and SoCal and realized they are using a different industrial building type, which doesn't show that problem. Getting back up to speed with the whole autogen building side of things at the moment.
 
In my case, even though I had uninstalled FTX (it was the original Tasmanian demo), FTX's installer hadn't restored the original FSX .spb file...so I would double check the date of that file to ensure it matches the rest of your standard FSX file dates.
