• 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.

hi, i just want to understand how the proceedure of processing textures work with in flight simulator and possibly they are similar to other game engines.

so which of the following is happening when, I have got an object, a vehicle forexample, and there is the main body that is a single mesh, and four other meshes for the wheels. the body and the wheels share a single texture.
is
1. only the one texture is loaded during render time for all objects.
2. the texture is loaded for each of the meshes wich makes the engine load 5 copies of the same texture.
??
thank you.
 
Hi,

Option one I think. In the MDL object you export, the meshes that you have in your design program are no longer visible as unique objects. All polygons with the same material on it are put in one big "drawlist".
