• 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.

Blender axis switch

Exporting from blender requires me having to rotate about the x axis 90 degrees and then moving it all to "ground" level. Is there anyway to swap the x and z axis after or before exporting, or in mcx to avoid this malarkey?
 
I don't recognise your issue. I can work fine with Blender's Global orientation. In Front View, I see the aircraft from the back, so only the Y-orientation is changed (rotated 180 degrees around Z).

Let me know if I misunderstood your post.
 
In the General Section of MCX you can set the "Up Axis".
Perhaps this is set to a wrong value for your specific process, AFAIK it is used when importing the object into MCX.
Test to change the value, default is "FS" I guess.
 
I once had a similar issue with a small scenery object, for me the simple fix was to set the rotation of every object to zero before exporting. So I would press Ctrl + A and select Rotation (or rotation & scale) and then export.
 
It was because I was exporting as .obj as the blender gamepack stopped working. I've reinstalled it and exporting as .x works fine now.
