• 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.

FSXA Model sinking after texture applied

Hey guys,

I have no idea why this is happening, I made a new model tested it in FSX with no problem.

I have no applied the texture to the object, at first everything appears fine when I place it with instant scenery... Reload FSX... and it sinks.

Any idea? I made a basic square as a test and applied this texture, same thing happened so the model is fine.... Texture issue (DDS DXT1) but all my other objects use the same.

Have a look

Thanks

Aaron

EDIT

Fixed my problem.... running the model through FSDStweak fixed it

Usually occurs because a texture file is missing (don't ask me why)

For example .. if you make a material that specifies a Night texture, but that texture is not present the geometry is displaced Go figure!

Anyway .. good that you have sorted it.
 
That makes sense now....

The first model was just complied with FSDS no night texture had been done yet and like you said the geometry was displaced.

I did another test with a different random texture (it did have a night completed) and it worked.

But after after running the model through FSDS then FSDStweak it worked fine without the night texture present.

Good to know, thanks again

Aaron
