• 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.

scaling and rotating textures in GSU

Hi,

Sorry but I am afraid I need some help here.
I spent the best part of a rainy afternoon trying to make a photoreal texture fit a GSU surface and to convert it into a ground polyygon with the help of Arno's ground polygon wizzard.
The latter is not the problem but to match the texture in GSU is a crime against humanity (well, mine at least :)).
Has anyone come up with an easier way than the "positioning" in GSU because whatever I do I always get a distorted texture (either the length is off or the width is off or it is distorted). I thought that simply scale the picture down and rotate somewhat, would work, but doing so distorts the texture.
Maybe I am doing something wrong?

PS Just spent an hour looking for an answer on the GSU help fora but no luck.
 
Hi,

When you just two pins for scale along one access and rotate, you should not get distortion. But don't touch the other pins :). I am assuming you use fixed pins mode here.
 
Hello Arno,

Yes, I did as you said.
But the result is like this (see screenshot).
(It is just a test. No real highres textures applied yet)
