• 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.

MSFS20 Couple of issues exporting GLTF XML

Hi

Great app!

I have noticed some issues while exporting a GLTF model with LOD's.

1. The minSize attribute value is seemingly generated by a simple `ToString()`. This causes issues with different culture number formatting. Mine exported as `10,00` instead of `10.00`.
2. Not sure if it affects anything, but an imported minSize of `1` was exported as `1.015625`. Perhaps there should be rounding? XML schema is missing for LODS/LOD, so cant really say.

Can I also request an option for raw export of a model? Currently it seems any transforms on nodes in the hierarchy is 'applied' and is eliminated for the exported model (unity transform). I understand this is done to prevent common issues, but would be nice to have as a reference.

Cheers
 
Hi,

Thanks for reporting. I'll fix the ToString so that it is invariant of the system decimal setting.

About the lod value, MCX converts it internally to FSX lod value and on export converts the other way again. That will give the small difference.

Since glTF is exported without animations now all transformations are removed as well. That simplifies the model.
 
I have fixed the comma vs dot issue now, so in the next development release that will be fixed.

Good reminder here,

Region Settings on the PC must be 'USA' for correct handling of dot and comma when exporting a model with FSX_GmaxGamePack, but is this also required when exporting from MCX to glTF?

And, Arno, I replied to your response in the Conversations box on Tuesday, but no re-response from you until now; is the Conversations function a bad idea to get and remain in contact with you?

Greetings Jan

For the xtomdl tool it is required indeed, but for exporting gltf it should not. But since I have my decimal character set to dot I don't always notice the issues with the comma.

Yes, I have seen your reply. But haven't had the time yet to answer. Some evenings I'm more in the mood program and work on new features for the tools.
