• 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 Texture mapping problems...

So, the scenario is like so. I have mapped my textures onto the model by putting all the textures on one map for the whole model, then using the Cropping parameters in the Bitmap dialog to crop to the bit of the texture I need. Then I used the UVW Mapping modifier to apply this texture to the part.

On export to FSX, the result was( perhaps predictably?:)) a mess.

It would seem that the FSX exporter ignores anything you do in the Bitmap dialog to crop textures. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do? Can I do something in the UVW Mapping modifier that will be the equivalent of cropping the texture?

Using Max 9, by the way.
 
The "Cropping parameters in the Bitmap dialog" are completely ignored.

Use the UVW Unwrap modifier and the UVW Editor to select/resize/shuffle around your bits of mesh.
 
Your bump map is a mirror of your texture. What ever your texture is, your bump map will be. The Specular map, Bump map, reflection map, texture, etc, all share the same UVW on an object.
