• 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.

Can I use ModelConverterX to get at the aircraft model's reflectivity settings ie can I change the Gloss/Chrome setting somehow with MCX ?
If not, is there some other way I can get at/edit those settings for an aircraft.MDL ?
This is for FSX.

TIA

Yes, MdlMatX by Martin Wright. If needed there is a tutorial by "Obio" on Sim Outhouse.
 
Hi,

ModelConverterX can read FSX MDL files and in the material editor you can make changes to the material. But when you export them again the aircraft can miss some animations or other specific features. So I am not sure if it will work.

For scenery models the importing and exporting works fine, for aircraft it is more tricky.
