• 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.

Hi all.
I'm new on this Forum but i followed vith interest for many years the discussions on it. I serch for a section dedicated to presentation but i didn't find it so:
I'm from Italy, very "old" :D and from the first PC in 1985 i fly with everithing that can flyu :)

Now, after some scenery built for FS9 (running very well on FSX) i have to built something for P3D v2.
I follow the suggestion on creating 3D objects with the GMax Gamnepack for FSX and it works greatly. The sceneries works fine on my FSX.
Starting with the convinction that P3D and FSX are "different twins" i ported the scenery on P3D.
This is the result:




I have the yextures completely misplaced. In FSX are at the corret place.
Can You suggest me something?
Thanks.
 
Hi,

What format are you using for the textures? I haven't heard of issues with textures between FSX and P3D yet.
 
I assigned a BMP texture on the 3D object in the GMax project and then converted in DDS DXT5 for FSX and Prepar3D. In FSX it works but not in P3D.
 
Stupid stupi stupid !! :mad::mad::mad:
I put the wrong image format!!
Now, with Extended Bitmab DXT1 it works!!


Just a single word: FORMAT .... and the world return to spin!!!!!
Thank You Arno!!
 
DDS DXT5 should also work, that is quite a commonly used format. Where you using the same DDS file in both FSX and P3D?
 
But that's for fsx as well. So if it works in fsx, I don't understand why it would be flipped in p3d v2.
 
There seems to be a issue with some textures in P3D. Some people have to set Textures limit from say 2048 or 1024 up to max, 4096, then run it a bit and revert the settings back to what you had it, and 'that' should cause textures to be normal again.
