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 think I have figured it out, but the model doesn't display.
The files created by MCX were:
EGNT_Tower_Placement_scene.xml
EGNT_Tower.xmlEGNT_Tower.xml
EGNT_Tower.gltf
EGNT_Tower.bin
EGNT_Tower_Placement.xml
EGNT_Tower_Placement_Project.xml
Do I need anything more?
The EGNT_Tower_Placement_scene.xml looks ok:

Hi,
If you export as MSFS package it will indeed write the model and the placement data into the structure of a MSFS package.
Did you load the project file in the scenery editor in the sim or did you compile the package with the MSFS package tool? One of those two is needed to see the content in the sim.

No, I didn't use either of those tools.
I need to do some further reading.
