• 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.

P3D v4 GP Immersive Defaults

Hi,

When generating GPs for V5 using ADE v1.79.7417, and I add a bump texture without material settings, the default result is the GP using the diffuse (day) texture as emissive, therefore the textures are bright at night. Problem goes away if I create a dark LM texture, but I double the size of my texture package (by having to carry the extra LMs). This does not happen if I dont use a bump map.

Is there a way for me to tweak this so that by default there is no emissive texture unless I specify it?

Thanks,
David
 
You could develop a custom material that does what you want.

As to a dark _LM texture doubling your texture package size, wouldn't a 32x32 texture do the trick?
 
Just don't make any texture smaller than that in a DXT format - that makes some computers crash. I make all textures smaller than 64 x 64 in 256 color format, just in case.
 
Actually I did what Don stated, made them 32x32 and it worked fine. Would prefere to do away with it, but I can live with it.

Thanks!
