• 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.

Problem Sovled! After reinstalling gmax



Hello all,

I've been using Bill Womack's FS Ground Polygons tutorial to create a custom runway for my home airport OPKC but I'm confused at one step. I create the base poly in gmax but I get extremely confused at the texturing step because the textures are not showing on the poly. Here's what I do:

1. Select UVW Map from the modifier list, select Planar and make the Length the same as the Width (46m).

2. The I go to the Material Editor and click on New and then the Standard button.

3. Then in Blinn Basic Parameters, I click on the small box to the right of Diffuse, double-click on Bitmap and select my BMP concrete texture (512x512).

4. Then in Material Editor I click on the Show Map in Viewport button and then click Apply and close the Material Editor.

But I can't see any texture on my base poly. I really wanna make this runway and m really frustrated so ill really appreciate it if anyone can help me out.

Yes I clicked on that button and then clicked apply.

Maybe the problem is with my BMP file. Do you know what kind of BMP files gmax supports?
