• 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.

Possible bug: Set New Guid

Hi Arno,

In the latest released I downloaded today, if I import an MDL done in 3DS, Set New Guid in the object object informatio, export and overwrite the MDL file. When I import, the Guid remains as it was before

The scenerio is that I have actually 10 MDLs from 3DS and all of them have the same Guid so I thought with MCX I can set a new one for each to create a library

Update on the issue: I noticed that if I overwrite the file, the Guid that I set in MCX is not saved. I must export in a new MDL file to have the new Guid saved

Cheers
Michel

I don't think its a bug. It's kind of a like a safeguard. After changing the GUID, you have to save the MDL again with a new name.
 
Hi,

That is indeed by design, to prevent accidental changing of GUIDs and thereby ruining the placement of objects.

In the exporter options you find a setting PreserveGUIDOnExport. If you set that to false the GUID will be overwritten.
