• 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.

Texure Size for SBuilderX?

Hello, I made some textures in PhotoShop to slap on a polygon in SBuilderX to create a runway. When I added the texture to a polygon in SBX, It gave me an error saying that it was the wrong size and didn't specify what size it should be. So I tried using it anyways and it just appears black in FSX.

Can someone tell me what the standard size for poly's in SBX is?
I need to know to try and resize my textures to see if that will fix it.
 
What size did you use? In general textures for FS should have a size that is a power of two, e.g. 512x512 or 1024x1024.
 
Does it have to be a square or can it be a rectangle? I Think I tried using 1024x128 and it appears black in FSX.
 
As long as it is a power of two, it is fine. So 128x1024 is also valid.

What format did you use in FSX? 24 bit BMP files can not be displayed and will show as black.
 
Better convert it to DXT1/DXT5 DDS files. You can use the ImageTool from the SDK to do so.
