• 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.

Textures misplaced....

Hello Arno!

I just used the latest development release of MCX. I load an older mdl.file, which i have produced with an older version of MCX. I saw that all textures are misplaced.

I load a default Microsoft bgl.file and there are the textures misplaced too.

It seems there is a bug in the latest version.

Hi,

Can you check if you didn't enable the flip dds option in the texture settings?
 
Hallo Arno,

i put the zip-package in my MCX-folder and dezipped it by overwriting existing old files. I have not make any exchanges in the options-folder. Following the settings in the texture-folder

Hi Holger,

The FlipDDS should be false by default, then it will load FS textures correctly. You only need this setting if you load for example X-Plane objects with DDS textures, since those are flipped.

Let me check if the default value has not been set wrong by mistake.
 
Hi Arno!

Thank you for your fast help. I put the latest_development_releases_package.zip in an empty folder now and dezip it.
But i get the result: FlipDDS = true. I changed it manualy and all textures are shown correct.

Thanks
Holger
 
Hi Holger,

That is weird, I double checked it in my code and the default should be false. Let me try with a fresh download.

Edit: by the way, if you put the new download in a folder with the same name as your old version, it will still use your previous settings.
 
Hi Arno!

The problem is solved. I took a fresh Download and dezipped it in a new folder with a different name. The default setting is now FlipDDS = false.

Many Thanks
Holger
