Must be you, I have no issues with eddsfield. And they have a discord, so it shouldn't be too hard to contact them. Or you could always contact orbx. I doubt they ignore emails.

@@JustDave84 If you're someone who can tolerate a reduction from 50 FPS to 20 FPS, then you may indeed have no issues. I have hundreds of airports and none behaves like this. As to support, Orbx directs you to the dev's site and they are unresponsive.

Thanks! I have not had a use for udims up to this point, so I don’t really have any insight into that

Save and compact just applies compression to the save file. helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-painter/interface/main-menu/file-menu.html

It will be coming to Xbox. That’s been the plan from the start!

You will need the official exporter plugin: github.com/AsoboStudio/glTF-Blender-IO-MSFS/releases Before importing into Substance painter, you should add a material to each part. In substance you paint per material, so if you have the same material on multiple parts, those will be painted at the same time. When you are ready to export to the sim, you set those materials to "Standard" under the MSFS section of the material. Link the materials in their appropriate channels, join the parts together (Ctrl+J - Each loose part is a CPU call), and export it as gltf.

@@Rotornut44 Are you planning a video tuto about this process?

Maybe something I can cover in a future video, though I want to get a better understanding of a few things before I think about teaching it. Dirt is currently just done as it's own tiling texture, then it gets plugged into the main texture material's detail texture albedo channel. There is a value under the material settings to affect how much it gets tiled compared to the main texture, so I can scale that detail tiling up or down without affecting the base texture's scale. I can then also use the vertex paint alpha channel to affect the opacity of the dirt layer.

@@Rotornut44 You are not using dirt texture on the detail roughness (Occlusion/Roughness/Metal) channel? Looked like the metal beams had some sort of grunge to them and not from an albedo.. Thank you for your answer and I look forward to following your channel in the future. Have a great day :)

@@henfre6845 Just detail Albedo right now. Detail texture blending is a bit tricky and I haven't figured out the detail COMP just yet. Still on my "try again" list for this project. When I tried it initially on these models, I could never get it to show through. Only the base COMP would display. Requires further research...

No. Not unless something has changed in recent versions of Photoshop or Gimp. If you're using Gimp you can do Colors > Components > Decompose/Recompose and have it split into layers if you work better that way, though.

@@Rotornut44 thanks for explanation, yes I'm talking about decompose, recompose in gimp

Hello! Thanks for checking out my project! I'd love for Cleetus to see this airstrip - maybe once it's a little further along! The abandoned frames are definitely one of my favorites. I know they are probably fairly useless now, but they definitely add some character to the environment of the airstrip! Putting optimization first on this project, I'm hoping that it will run good on any system within spec. We will definitely see once I start the Xbox testing phase! If it survives Xbox testing, it will survive anything! haha Back to work!

Thank you! It must be a nice area to fly with the less congested airspace! I worked on mine up here around Pensacola, Hurlburt, and Eglin and it felt like jumping right into the fire until I got the hang of the airspace and comms. haha I haven't finished my cert yet, but hope to eventually. I always get right up to solo and then something happens and I have to stop. One day here I'll get my ducks in a row...

Yep. I started on the original FSX project in 2014. I wish I could remember what drew me to the airport in the first place, but 10 years later, it's hard to remember! I've had a few I started or looked at over the years show up in videos, but never has one actually been purchased by a channel I follow. So, it's a first in that regard.

I'll use Bing or Google Maps for the rough width and depth. Consider if there is a soffit or anything and guesstimate any reduction for that. Height I will use photos for if possible. If I can't get a good head-on or side-on shot to build off of perspective, I'll look for things on the building, such as a door or anything I know there is a standard size for. In the case of this hangar, I have a handful of useful photos that I was able to build things off of perspective wise. I guessed the size of the i-beams and then pulled real standard sizes, modeled and compared them with the photos to see what size was closest. Then it's just a matter of making adjustments until everything fits together.

I saw someone had done that and Garrett had shown it off in his last paint video. Did that ever get released? Would be cool to pick one up for the CowanSim bird.

Doing a project I enjoy is the only way for me to complete them to a standard I can be proud of

Yep, it's one of the few helicopters primarily flown from the left seat. Some models of the 500 have been set up for right seat PIC, and I think you can order them from the factory that way as well, but they are mostly all left seat PIC. There are several theories(?) floating around out there as to "why" it was done that way. Everything from being able to install a bench seat in the front, to "just because." lol Apparently the long-line pilots like the setup though as you lean into the collective when looking down at your load, paired with the left skid low hover tendency, it apparently makes it feel more natural.

@@Rotornut44 Interesting. I've never flown sling-load operations, but it sounds like it would make sense! Another theory I might add is that maybe they were thinking about foreign sales where that's more normal. Beautiful work, by the way! 👍

btw is there a way to remap buttons to normal keys? like windows + g for gamebar?

This camp series is really dated now. It's before I went down the detailed backcountry airstrip route or even released my first MSFS payware, which I am already remastering to bring up to my standards. I haven't watched this video since I made it, but I think the cones were the only thing I took a bit of liberty on here from a realism standpoint. If I can remember, it was probably to outline where the runway actually was. If I ever touch these camps again, I'd probably remove them as they are pretty useless and get run over most of the time anyways. Thanks for the kind words and support!

It’s out on Marketplace for PC & Xbox now!

Just finished a MSFS video on this Bush strip. Posting it very soon. Thank you, very impressed with your design. I wish I had the ability to do what you do.

Are you breaking it apart into AO, Roughness, and Metal channels first and then importing those 3 images in? Yellow would mean that there is little or no AO (Red channel is mostly white), and more or fully rough (More white in the green channel). If it was more green overall, this would mean that there was more AO (Red channel is darker). So, it sounds like the AO channel is just getting painted over with white. Which may be the case if you didn't add an Ambient Occlusion channel under Texture Set Settings and plug in the original AO channel from the COMP.

@@Rotornut44 I am removing the height and adding AO in the texture sets. Forgive me if my terminology is off. I have not broken the comp file down before import. I just import the comp file and then assign it to the metal roughness and AO channels. Is that where my mistake is? I usually don't use any of the original comp file in export. I just import everything anyway for OCD reasons lol.

I don’t know if Substance would know what to do with the COMP if you just import it and stick it into the texture slots, so I’m going to guess that this is probably an issue. I would recommend saving each individual color channel of the COMP as a png. R=AO, G=Roughness, B=Metallic At the end of the day, if you’re only exporting Albedo, then it really only matters for what you see in Substance anyways.

@@Rotornut44 I usually export albd and comp I just normally create the comp in substance painter. I will play with it tomorrow with separating the file. One other question. Several aircraft when I export from blender has weird artifacts and in many cases the texture and mesh are not aligned. It appears in substance painter that the model is partially off the square that the textures go on. How can I stop that from happening?

@@Rotornut44 thank you very much man! First thing this morning I split the channels on a COMP file and then reassembled them in Substance Painter and now I am showing the greens! I sent you a couple images to your email of the other weird issue I am having. I am doing a happy dance now that I understand where I went wrong with the COMP images!
