This was first discussed here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/opening-msfs-3d-model-gltf-files-in-other-software/233688/23 I started to create an Import Add-On for blender that is able to read the essentials from the FS2020 models (3d geometry with correct UV coordinates) so that one can use …

which LOD was best one to use for editing? the F-15 one that comes up first?

Maybe you could post the F-15 model LOD0.gltf and LOD00.bin (ONLY these files, the model not being usable, I think it would not be considered as piracy, unless I’m mistaken) so I can have a look at the import problem.

I got it working, I did your edits in the py file and it just eventually started working later in the day at importing stuff. It was an odd thing, since I did not make more changes to the add on msfs2blender py file.

I usually have to flood the textures to find those tricky piece locations. I usually do a full fill, then slowly go into sections with new color to try to pinpoint the small stuff. also if you flood full a full texture and it is not even that color, then it feeds off a different texture instead.

Maybe you forgot to restart Blender so that it would take into account the changes in the py file? That would explain why it worked later. Anyway glad it works for you now.

Hello, I already created a topic last month but did not get positive feedback at the moment so I try here :slight_smile: I am looking for someone who could recreate any livery in FS2020 and take beautiful screenshots at very high graphics settings in various environment/daytime/weathers. To explai…

Would love to hear and learn from you, how to combine AO/roughness/Metal in the RGB channels to be used in FS from substance painter. I am just beginning to learn SP.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I still only can import half the engine, but based on the liveries I see posted, some folks have to be figuring it out as they’re getting things perfectly aligned in a way that you could not do manually on the mesh PNGs in photoshop.

Hello Guys! I’ve used blender many times to create our liveries for our airline, and it was working all good without any issue. But lately, since I format my computer and decided to resume creating new liveries, I’ve came across with this rare issue. Everytime I try to paint the aircraft, the too…
