• 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.

Sketchup ground poly - blurry textures

Hi,

I've been making a ground poly in sketchup using about 20 2048x2048 textures (rather high resolution, although scaled down from the original 7cm/pixel). Now, whenever the textures are shown in FSX, the are blurry. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Should I import the poly into Gmax and export it through that?

Thanks in advance
 
Hi,

I don't think the tool used to model will have that much influence, it is more likely a texture issue. Which format did you use for them and did you add mipmaps?
 
Arno,

The textures were originally JPEGs, and I exported them from Sketchup, then open it in ModelConverterX. I then used the Mass Texture Editor to convert the textures and export the model as an .mdl.

Thanks
 
Hi,

So then you have probably made DDS files of them (that's the default setting in ModelConverterX). Do they get more sharp when you get really close to them?

Normally ground polygons are not made with MDL files. That gives all kind of display problems. It is best to use the FS2002 style techniques. The ground polygon wizard of ModelConverterX can help you with that as well.
