• 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.

Landing Base / Platform

Both in MDL format conversion and trying to do it with SCASM API conversion, I can't seem to get a helipad landing platform to work...the aircraft just falls through.

The SCASM source was correct and it worked that way, but seeing as I have a bunch of these to place, any thoughts on how to make it work as an MDL model?

---EDIT---

Ended up just editing the model in GMAX using the landing box cheat underlay, but the question remains...is it an FS limitation? Difference between FS2004 and FSX? What makes the surface landable in FSX but not FS9? :)

Hi FOlks

Eric -
ModelConverterX still doesn't support platforms yet.

Hoping Arno might address this soon. :D

Hi Eric,

As said, support for platforms (reading from MDL files and writing to MDL files) is still on the whislist for the tool. I hope to add it in the not so far future.

Not sure what you mean here, but in both the FS2004 and FSX gamepacks you can define platforms, which will become hard. No difference in that part.

Arno,

You answered it when you said that the support for platforms wasn't yet implemented, thus, when I converted, it was lost.
