• 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.

Exporting object vs. scenery

Hi all,

I am working on some new functionality so that ModelConverterX can read placement information from BGL files. This will also allow me to add functions like placing multiple instances of an object for example.

I think this function will mean that there will be two types of exporting in the future:

  1. Export object, this will just export the select object to the format you select
  2. Export scenery, this will export all loaded objects and all placement information to a BGL file

Do these two types of exports make sense for you as a user? Or does it sound confusing? Or are there other combinations of objects and placement that you would like to export?
 
Hi ARNO!
Of course it is necessary to have the ability to export many objects in scene.
Really looking forward to this opportunity!
 
Does this mean we can then place objects contained in BGL files that also contain location information (i.e. "geo locked")?
 
Hi Arno,
Can you add a search and rename function in mcx? For example if you want to rename quickly all your attached objects...
Thanks

Not sure what you mean here. Do you want ModelConverterX to be able to export both geo locked and non geo locked placement information? I guess that should be possible.
