• 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.

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Okay, everything seems to be working now. Thank you all for you help! I would like to share some of the things that I figured out with a lot of trial and error. 1. Make sure you ALWAYS use Tom's latest ONLINE document to do the conversion. (http://www.calclassic.com/convert_tutorial/index.html)...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Thanks again guys for all the input. Maybe you can clarify some things for me. Yes, Tom I had already done the import export thing many times. And in general I think most of what I'm trying to accomplish is working, but maybe I'm expecting something that I'm not supposed to. Like I said before...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Tom, both the FS2004 model and the FSX model function 100% correctly within MCX. All animations are perfect within the converter. It's in the simulator that they don't. Initially before I learned the rotation issue within the cfg file, I would see the slow still props rock substantially, I don't...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Maybe you can explain to me what the difference is between the coordinate system used in the aircraft config file and the coordinate system in MCX. Even though I have got the lighting placement correctly working in the model. I noticed the values in the cfg file are different than the position...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Thanks Rick, yes it's the Veneaviones, which is indeed the turbo prop and the FS2004 model does function correctly in FSX. However, I'm wanting to port some of my all-time-favorite aircraft to MSFS. I understand though for that to work correctly it needs to be in an FSX native format. I have...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Thanks so much for all your input. What I initially took as a working prop animation is actually not that. What it started doing is actually changing the prop texture. (Which it didn't do before, so there is headway! That was a result of getting rid of the rotation line in the aircraft.cfg.) But...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Thanks Gavin and Rick. I knew I had followed everything to the letter in Tom's document. It all came down to the rotation. Switched it to 1 and voila, it works! I did see some threads on rotation but never thought that was my problem. Well, now I know for next time. I can assure you this won't...

    FSX Prop Animations not working after Export in ModelConverterX (SOLVED)

    Hi Guys, I need some input here. I have tried converting an FS2004 model to FSX. In general everything has converted well, except for one thing - the prop animations. I have followed the instructions from Tom Gibson meticulously. (Both the web version as well as the pdf version.) the ones I...
