• 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.

    I have been at this a couple of years now. I would love to make it work. I am an IT guy and I get so pissed off at it I just walk away from the flight sim altogether.
    My grandson is 8 who I only see 2 times a year will be home for Christmas this year. and now he is into flight sim big time. I was hoping I could get two models on the FSX box.
    Just our house and barn. He would think that was so cool.

    I have nine different models all doing the same thing. I did a basic box store, as simple as it gets. It did runs until it completes the mdl and stops. It shows it wrote the file but it does not.
    of course, it does attempt to write the bgl on the box store model.

    I had a look with the BGL file you attached, but I can process it through the convert and place object wizard without any issue. I both tried the stable 1.4 release and the latest development release.

    Which build are you using?

    Hi Arno
    I am having issues with exporting BGL files. See attached information.

    Hi, it seems that the preview encountered an issue. That's also why you get the red cross. But this will indeed not affect the exporting, these run as separate threads.

    Do you get this error with any object or is there a specific action that you first apply in the GPW?

    As soon as you export or use the export wizard at the very end.

    But with any object or just this one?

    Hi Arno
    I have discovered a rewards that are not on the FSX "Rewards list" on the Wiki. If you create me an account I could add them.

    Hi, why not post your question and the error message in the forum? Then somebody might be able to help you. SODE has a support forum here, so the author of the tool can help you there.

    3. When we open the import or export dialog boxes in the menu, only one path of the last use of a file will be remembered. Is it possible to make what a paths of the last opening files remembered in each window separately? I have several versions of the aircraft and there is no possibility to store files in one folder.

    For the import button, you have the little arrow on the side that allows you to select from a list of previous opened files. For exporting there is no such feature and MCX will suggest a name based on the model that is currently loaded. I don't really see how I could change that.

    Thank you!

    2. Is it possible to make the function of searching for animation links on/off in the settings? (Could not find linked animation for...). It also takes a lot of time each time.
    arno
    arno
    Those warnings are caused by the X file having links to animations that do not exist in the XANIM file. But I don't think these warnings should cost a lot of time.

    1. Is it possible to make the function of reading the file modeldef.hml when importing a *.x file turned on / off in the settings? It takes a very long time to import a *.x file each time and just as long export to *.mdl file. The model contains more than 500 thousand polygons.

    Reading the modeldef.xml file should not take that long. If loading the model takes long, I think it is more likely the X file then the XML file causing this.

    Hello! My name is Sergey, I am from St. Petersburg. I am very grateful for your program (MCX). I am developing an aircraft for FSX and P3D v4.5.
    I have a few questions for you. At the moment I am working with the modeldef.xml file and I have to compile very often in a *.ml file:

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks, as a non native speaker I do sometimes mix things up. I try to make as few mistakes as possible. I'll probably remember this from now on :)

    Hi Arno,
    I create FSX-A sceneries all freeware so far. where can I find your actigate module link thats current?
    I get the non actigate models to appear on my scenery, but they all just are non responsive with only
    a wait sign. Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    AR619.

    Hi, you can use the basic model in FSX and as long as placed with the FS2004 tools it will work. The advanced ActiGate features (aircraft type, etc) don't work in FSX.

    Hi Arno. I used your vdgstweaker to create safegate mdl with the required settings or do I have to create my own model and use the vdgs tweaker for placement with whisplacer.
    Can I use ADE9X to place safegate/safedock models? Also for using the basic model do I have to replace those various asm files with your simple/tweaked asm files?
    arno

    If you create the mdl files with vgdstweaker and put them in a FS2004 library, you can place them with any placement tool. Just remember that the model is made for one specific heading.

    Hi Arno,

    Would it be easy to implement a "bookmark" or "favorite" option in the forum software? So we could save a useful thread to read later.

    I use that a lot on others websites, so I was thinking.

    Cheers,
    Felipe

    I don't know. It's software we bought, I don't develop it myself. You can always bookmark in your browser of course.

    I would ask you to unlock this new resource.

    Hi Arno,

    While editing a wiki, I noticed that embedded code is shown in Times New Roman font, I believe. Is it possible to change embedded code to a fixed width font like Courier New or Consolas?

    Thank you for the consideration,
