• 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.

Adding autoplatform to MDL

For testing the Autoplatform function I created a simple Helipad model with textures in SketchUp.

After importing the DAE to MCX, I exported the model as FSX MDL and converted the textures to DDS.

When I now import this MDL, as shown in the attached jpg, and try to use the autoplatform function in the Attached object editor, the menu-item is grey and not available.

Do I need to further change this MDL is some way to be able to use the Autoplatform function?

Thanks
Michael

Hi,

When the object loads, the attached object editor should always be available. So this sounds a bit weird. Let me check what might go wrong.
 
Hi Arno,

Let clarify a bit.

I have loaded the MDL and I have access to the Object editor.
But when I press the Add button, Autoplatform is not enabled.

Thanks
Michael
 
Hi Michael,

Which version are you using? Version 1.2 does not have all new functionality.
 
Hi Arno


I am using latest version, which should be 1.2.

Should I install an earlier version for the Autoplatform?
I have also seen that the version in the video tutorial is different for this one.


Thanks
Michael
 
The latest version is 1.3 (development release). That one has the auto platform function.
 
Hi Arno


Sorry, my mistake.

Downloaded developer version and now everything seems correct :)


Thanks
Michael
