• 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 Garmin Buttons Turning White / Emissive Issue

Hello All,

I am getting a ControlPad to work in MSFS (Similar to SR22 but diff layout, same code/template). But... My buttons turn white. An emissive issue.
How do I fix this?

I am using my own textures, except their Decal. Decal material and plastic material (for buttons) has Black as the Emissive base color (Emissive color). But when the powers up the entire button shows nearly bright white. Only the Decals Material should illuminate.

Many thanks for any input you might have.

I got it working.
The names of the textures have to be absolutely perfect or they will not work. They are hard coded in the templates.
AS1000_ControlPad_Emis.png <---- wrong
AS1000_ControlPad_emis.png <---- right

The above was the error I had and didnt find it for weeks.

Cheers,

Sad that this panel is utterly top secret and its available and its in the AS1000 XML core file.

Also, Gemini.google.com showed me some pointers and let me know that it is a bug on the buttons that they turn white, etc. A popular problem for builders.
