• 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 resolution

Hi folks,

I'm new here, but I've been simming for quite some time now.
I finally decided to create airports for Flight Simulator (2004/X), besides making repaints.

I'm busy creating a scenery fot TFFG (Grand Case, St. Maarten), but I've ran into some trouble. I've created a .psd-file for the whole runway (480x19280).
I want to add this as a texture to my Sketchup model, but it seems that the maximum resolution for the textures is 1024x1024 (So when i imported the texture into Sketchup the texture was very blurry). I tried a workaround by splitting the runway into seperate parts and applying the textures to each part, but when I load the model into Flight Simulator (2004), the transition between the parts is not smooth (You can see some very thin white lines between each part). Is there a workaround? I would like to stick with sketchup for models, but if it is really necessary I'm able to use other programs for modeling. Thanks in advance.

PS: Excuse me for my bad English, I'm still learning the language...
 
Hi,

19000 pixels is indeed to much for a texture, so your approach to split it into different files is the correct one. It is a known problem that you can see small lines between such tiles. The best solution is to not map until the very end of your texture. So make sure the outer pixel is not used on the model.
