• 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.

[FS2004] Exported FS9 .mdl doesn't save material's properties

I'm trying to create a simple taxi light using textures only. As a reference i used this thread. The model shows everything as required when i set it up via the material editor.

I save the textures as DXTBMP and export the model in a FS9 format. Then when i load the newly created model in the Model Converter everything looks back as if there were no properties set at all.

Why would Model Converter X act like this?
 
Alright. It seems i got it right. Why to make it simple when there's a hard way.. !?!? What i've done is simply add alpha to both daylight (pitch black) and _lm (halo shaped) textures. Looks like that's the way to do it in FS2004. The question about the halo's shadow remains though.. How could one remove it from the object using MCX?
 
Yes, I also use MDL Tweaker for that. Hopefully someday that will be in MCX too. :)
