Hello, I noticed that the MSFS 2024 SDK documentation references a ‘windshield detail scratch normal’ but unfortunately I cound’t find the sample normal map texture in MSFS 2024 SDK\SharedAsset\texture directory. Could you please advise where I might obtain a sample of this normal map?

Hello @GLF69888,

You have MicroScratches_norm.png in the SharedAsset folder :
“C:\MSFS 2024 SDK\SharedAssets\texture\DetailMap\MicroScratches_norm.png”

Thank you for your answer, but there seems to be no “MicroScratches_norm.png” texture file in that path

my 2024 SDK ver is 1.5.7

The one available with the SU5 (currently in flighting)

I see, I should wait for the next update? Or would it be possible to temporarily receive just the corresponding normal map?

I updated it to 1.6.4 SDK today but still don’t have MicroScratches_norm.png texture

For some reasons the fix did not make it in the 1.6.4 but in the sdk 1.6.6 that will be available soon.

Hello,

Did you install SDK 1.6.6.0? Were you able to see the texture?
