• 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.

Transparant fence

Just a quick word on these transparent textures.

I've built a tower with semi-transparent glass, I used a 64x64 texture square the colour I like, converted to dtx1 with no alpha and no mipmaps. and set the opacity value in the material editor to 70%

The thing i've found is if I export all the tower along with the glass it does'nt work and if the glass portion of the tower is set away from the 0,0 point in gmax. I get the 'I only see the horizon through the glass and nothing else'.

If I set the glass portion so the 0,0 is in the center, and export it seperate from the rest of the building, so i would have tower.mdl and towergls,mdl. Everything works great.

Heres some pics, as you can see the other buildings are clearly visable through the glass.
