• 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.

Hi,
I am working even to the scenery of Singapore changi (WSSS). I have files made with FS9 gamepack and FS2002 ground textures.

But recently I had a major issue with my backup drive, basically I didn't backup all the files as I should :banghead: And I lost most of the scenery related files that I had, and since I formatted my main drive recently this means that I deleted all the gmax files :eek: Unfortunately because I didn't use Fs or any other scenery related programs for the last months I didn't notice that till it was too late and the files where physically overwritten. So the recovery programs couldn't do much ...

I have recovered (from backups) most of the mdl's and those that I didn't have backed up I recovered them with BGLXML 1.0 (still need to check if they are perfectly working). So there is a good chance I can make something out of it. But is it possible to create a gmax model from the mdl's :confused:
Also I have the bgl's created with the Fs2002 gamepack but they need further work unfortunately it can only be done Gmax. Is it a way to recover them too ? :(

Just to give you an idea how the scenery looks ATM, never mind the kamikaze flying style :D : (click on the image to view it in it's full size)



 
Hi Andrew,

I am afraid the answer is no to both questions. There are no tools to import BGL or MDL files into GMax so that you can edit them further.

I was afraid of that, I guess I will have to release a buggy release with some features removed as I don't have time to redesign everything.

Thanks anyway

Best regards
Andrew
