• 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.

Texture problem with FSDS 3.5

Hi Everyone
I am new here so I am sorry if this has been asked before.
I have searched the forums but haven't found an answer.
My problem is as follows:
I have created an object (control tower) in FSDS 3.5. I then applied textures to the model. These all display correctly in 3D view. When I compile to BGL or MDL and then run inside FSX, the object is displayed but only in black (no textures). In Instant Scenery I can make a thumbnail which shows all the correct textures. What do I need to do to display correctly in FSX? All the bitmaps are 128x128 or 256x256 and 8 bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Are you plasing the Texture files in the correct place. FSX/Textures?......I had texture problems with 3.0 but up to know none with 3.5.....in 3.0 I remember I had to place them all over---in FS/Textures and FS/addon scenery/textures for them to work ok and even so they sometimes failed to show...
 
Sounds like the textures are the right size. What format are your textures? If they are 24 bit .bmp's right out of the paint program they won't show up. Convim or ImageTool are programs to convert these to a type that show up in FS, like 16or 32 bit .bmp, or dxt.
