• 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.

Arno,

I sent you an email with some APIs attached. They show two types of errors: animation not working and wrongly attached to the main object and lights (effects) not connected to the object.

Aside from that the interface performance is absolutely smooth now :)
 
Got it, I will test them soon and report back. Thanks for the feedback.
 
Hi Martin,

They look OK here on my PC with the latest build. Only in BGDASR13.api I see some lights on the ground that I am not sure of. Could you test again with the latest build? I made some changes yesterday that could affect what you see and I believe you tested with Saturdays build.
 
OK, got it. I'll take a look at it.
 
Hi Martin,

I found and fixed the animation problem. It is in this nights build. I will now look at the misplaced attachpoints.
 
OK, also found the attachpoint problem, will also be in the next build. Let me know if they work OK at your place as well now.
 
Arno,

When I try to convert the radar objects (and some others as well) with the latest (17th) build it generates a 0 byte mdl files.

I will send you the log, the .x files and the apis for analysis.

I am sorry for the confusion, Arno.

It is working perfectly. All animations are there, and the light effects all seem to be placed absolutely correctly. Absolutely great. :D

Aside from the decimal delimiter we have another issue which can cause irritation: all compiles resulting in 0 bytes sized mdl files occurred when the files were located like this:

--> API:
Code: 
"E:\Download\__AIFP&Arno&Helli\ModelConverterX\Andrej Urosevic\API"
--> Output path:
Code: 
"E:\Download\__AIFP&Arno&Helli\ModelConverterX\Andrej Urosevic\API\Output"
Things work when the files are located like this:

--> API:
Code: 
"E:\ModelConverterX\Andrej Urosevic\API"
--> Output path:
Code: 
"E:\ModelConverterX\Andrej Urosevic\API\Output"
So it is not the space in the folder name which cause the confusion. It is most likely either the length of the path or the "&" character in the folder name, less likely the "_" character. I will test this the next days and report back so that you can make a note in the docu or help file.

Hi Martin,

Spaces should not matter indeed, but I never tried underscores and & character as much as you used them. Let me try if one of them gives such trouble.
 
Hi Martin,

I can't reproduce it here yet with a folder with both the _ and the &. If you find anything more let me know.
