• 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 SBX315 Problems with textures of generic building

Hello guys,
Today I worked on GMMZ and constructed simple 1-story buildings for barracks in its close vicinity. Everything compiled fine, the buildings as such are visible, but (except the roofs) without any textures - just greenish walls. I've checked for the texture files and all are there. The respective XML-file looks okay as well as far as I can judge and alternative textures showed up exactly the same way. What is going wrong?

Edit: Even if I tested yesterday for hours before posting my question, it seems that I got onto the track now. It seems that it has to do with the gable texture and/or probably with the tiling settings (that I had chosen to avoid windows and other structures). Actually, all of those buildings had basically a similar source and their variance was the bottom section (unfortunately not only). I've built a lot of structures by using SBX and never hat the questioned problem before (well, except with hangars that are often looking much different than the preview).

While testing I had more or less the frustrating experience to find well fitting settings, but after loading the project the result looked much different. Is there any tool somewhere, doing this specific task better?

Hi again,

My impression being on the track again was definitely wrong. :banghead:
I'm again fighting with quite simple structures, standard textures of a simple airport building (about 36 x 15 m). It has a ridge roof, is likely a hangar or workshop, the gable is on top of the wider side. I'm getting strange results, whatever I'm trying.
