• 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.

FSXA FS9 / FSX format problem

Hi,

maybe this belongs to the MCX section, but the error shows up when trying to compile a load of mdls into a bgl.
I exported all models into the FSX mdl format and read them into LC-XML. A few mdls wash out with the message that it is not allowed to compile FS9 and FSX models into one bgl, but I am positively sure that the models are FSX (I don't even have a fs2004 xtomdl compiler).

I can upload the mdls if anyone wants to test it.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Mark
 
Hi,

It sounds like some are still fs2004 mdl files, else you would not get the message.
 
I designed the models a few days ago and there are definitly no pre-FSX tools involved.
To be a bit more precise about the workflow, the model is compiled in 3DSMAX 2012 64bit using the P3D SDK. Then I recompiled it in MCX using the FSXA SDK, so I have a FSX compatible version. MCX does that without any problems. What is strange is that only 4 out of 40 models have that problem.
To me it looks like something from the original P3D model is inherited into the FSX conversion and LC-XML stumbles over it. Just a guess.

Cheers,
Mark
 
If you try to mix fsx and p3d v2 mdl files in one library you get the same error btw. So that could also be the problem.
