• 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

Got this error while running the MDL tweaker

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


And another question

I can only compile my a/c for P3d v2 or grater but I need it into FSX as well. Is there a way of using the XtoMDL compiler for v2-3 and have it write the FSX header instead of the P3D header?

The supposed XtoMDL x64 does not do what it says on the box!! It doensn't tage the new arguement and it doesn't get around the 65K vertex issues
 
Hi,

I think I would need some object to test with, just with the error I won't be able to solve it.

If you need a FSX MDL file you need to use the FSX or P3D v1.4 XtoMdl. The later XtoMdl versions create a different type of mdl file with different materials. These are not supported by FSX.
 
Hi Arno

Can you PM me you email address please and I'll send the MDL to you. I'm trusting you not to give this model out as I'm doing this port for my own personal uses only and I am not allowed (as I haven't asked but if i do I will be told NO) not give this model away.
 
Hi,

I have fixed the bug now. The fix will be in the development release of tomorrow.
