• 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.

Flipped Polygon on API Import

Hi,

Well, I finally used MCX for it's original purpose - converting API files (created in EOD) into FS9 scenery MDL files. It worked great! Now they are library object files - and give me MUCH better frame rates. :)

Most objects turned out perfectly, but the one attached had a polygon flipped - it is the platform under the tower. Thought you might want to take a look. No real problem for me, I just exported it as a 3DS file and flipped the polygon in GMAX. :)

Thanks for the great tool,

Hi Tom,

I will take a look.

Do you also see the problem in the preview in MCX or only after exporting?
 
Hi,

I found the issue. The API file had a wrong normal in it (one with length zero). MCX did not process that condition correctly, but it has been fixed now.
