• 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.

GMAX Invalid Texture Coordinate

Please help as I am tearing my hair out. I am building an airport for FSX with custom buildings. I had no trouble with the first building to export to FSX. However, the second one I am trying to export I receive error messages relating to two parts "Invalid Texture Coordinate in..." I cannot find anything in the help section or on the internet as to what is wrong or how to correct it.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium with Gmax and the FSX Gamepack.

Thanks.

Dave.
 
Only a guess (have never had that message before)

I would select the part in question, and re-UVWmap and re-UVWunwrap the faces.
 
I have re-UVWmap and re-UVWunwrap the faces of the object as suggested but I am still getting the same error message. I am totally baffled by this. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
If it's not a strategic file, may be you can share the .gmax file to help us figure out the issue
 
Hi,

Just to let you know that I have managed to resolve the issue. I removed the two conflicting items from my model and rebuilt them as it was easier. The model has exported fine now. I still do not understand what went wrong but it would appear I messed something up when I built the sub-models and textured them. I can now move on to the next part of my scenery project.

Thanks for your suggestions and offers of help.

Dave.
 
I've hit this problem many times, and right now I am suffering problems with a single box, that has 3 length segs I have extruded from the segments to create the shape I want, but as soon as I start mapping the textures - and exporting the selected item each time, I hit this problem. I noticed that when one extrudes, the application of the texture can change direction. i.e. I have two flat faces on which I want to map a texture that has some lateral lines. After mapping, one face has vertical and the other horizontal patterns. I mapped them separately and the problem goes away, but then the export fails. I am on the second redraw of this component, so I guess the problem is at least reproducible.
 
I've found a way of finding and deleting invalid coordinates. By selecting the whole component that is having the problem, so that all the faces are highlighted, and then go through the procedure as if one was going to remap the coordinates, I discovered that I had vertices way off in space with values of 9999 as one of the tree coordinates. Whilst you can't delete the vertices, you can edit the 9999 to become 0. Once done, the texturing looks normal, and the object will export.
