• 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.

I have made objects in gmax and put them in a libary. In the preview mode the textures are not there. When placed they show up fine in FSX. Any ideas :confused:
 
I think this is because the texture search path is (currently) not updated to add the path of your own library. For objects exported in GUID mode that's not a problem, but not for extracted models (which is the automatic setting when the object contains FSX animations).

You could manually edit the text file FSX\SimObjects\Misc\WHISPLACER_SCENERY\texture\texture.cfg
and append a line like :
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Addon Scenery\MyFolder\texture
with the path where your texture are installed. Relative paths are starting at the texture dir, so ..\..\..\..\ go back to the FSX installation root.

It seems that you cannot specify absolute paths, like c:\fsx\addon scenery\texture, so
you have to guess the relative path of your textures.

In case this won't work, you could simply copy all your texture files (bmp or dds) to the SimObjects\Misc\WHISPLACER_SCENERY\texture directory.
I'll try to implement a workaround for this problem in the next releases.
