• 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.

I am trying to put light on my terminals and other building models in my project. Below are three snips that shows my progress in getting the day and night textures to show on the models How, when i export the file and build the project again. The terminals are still dark in the sim. It would be helpful if someone could offer assistance or guide me in the right direction on this. I believe i am doing all that the manual says that i should do export this properly. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi,

I think you need to check your material settings. Did you enable the day/night switch for example?
 
Arno, I am opining this model using the XML file for this model which is already a gltf. Every texture that the model calls for has the day\night switch set to true. Are there any other settings that i need to check? Do i need to overwrite existing textures when i apply. Should i export the files as a gltf? I am using the build all command in the sim DevModd to rebuild the package. Many thanks for your assistance.

After you have added the night texture to the model you will have to export it as glTF file again to make sure the new texture is added. Did you do that as well?

The actual texture file needs to be in the right folder with the model textures as well of course. Then when you rebuild in the dev mode it should recompile the model with your change.
