• 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.

MCX Failed to locate MakeMDL error, but exporting to FSX

Arno,

The version of MCX (I think it is the latest) in the image throws the error shown in the image:

MCX.JPG


No problem exporting with 6/21/2020 version.
 
What are you doing when it shows?

Edit: didn't read the title that well, exporting to FSX it seems. Did you export to MDL or BGL?

Arno and Doug,

I just figured out what the problem was.

The first time using this version of MCX, the file Save As dialog had FS2004 MDL aircraft object as the default Save as type.

I didn't notice that then, because for some time all the MCX updates have used what my previous settings were. Edit: at least I think so. :oops:

It works fine once I change the Save as type to FSX MDL object.

Hi,

As long as you install the MCX update in the same folder, it should keep your existing settings. But it might also be that I just store the index of the last used exporter and that this list has changed in a recent build resulting in the shift.

But glad to hear you got it solved.
