• 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 thought you were asking about Notepad++ and where to find it. As for editing a .mdl file's hex code, I've no idea at all. ;)
 
There is a problem merging a VC to an airplane which not have, but a misplaced light appear in the front and this guy talk he fix this editing the model and deleting the light, can be that posible, yes he tell the program is Notepad ++
 
That would have been me:D

I posted over at sim-outhouse about opening the f18 interior mdl in notepad++, and changed the name of the offending fx file to something else to stop it showing.

Any hex-editor should work fine as well, just notepad++ was the quickest to use at the time.

Don't forget, always make a backup first!!
 
Yes, but we can't do is to change or take away the Fx file we would lose those lights not only in the defaults airplanes but the Rafale too.
 
You mis-understand, I didn't mean to remove the fx from FSX, just edit the mdl to remove any reference from it in there.

Here's how I did it.

I opened the FA-18_Interior.mdl with notepad++. Scroll right down to near the end, and you will see the words fx_navred. I changed that to read fx_navrep, and saved.

Now when FSX loads the FA-18_Interior model it will look for an effect called fx_navrep, but as it can't find one nothing will get displayed. All other lights will work fine, & the nav lights on the Rafale model will still work.
 
You are totally right, this work ¡¡, the effect was in the last bottom line, in the last comma, of the line ¡, and I assure you that I look for the effect, all right thank you very much, this has been of great help, really easy once you get the effect, yes I follow the indication to get rid of the light with Notepad++ in the forum, and seem to me that was imposible, too easy,and was the perfect solution because only take away the light of the attach point nº16 that is that of the front as well,:D the Raffale have a VC :D and thanks again
