• 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.

Fs9 mdl?

Hi!

Is there a way to convert FS9 MDLs into FSX MDL so that they can be opened in ModelConverterX? Or maybe another tool to convert FS9 MDL into 3DS?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Folks

spielbergsp -
FS9 aircraft models are not supported ATM. (Edited to correct info)

Object might also be an FS8 model.
Use a hex editor to view/check.

ISTR that FSDS objects were also a problem.

Not so sure about that last statement.

Take the Nimitz FSDS FS8, e.g. or the mcdiraq scenery library objects, or JAGL04's Reina Sofia frigate, or all the maiw scenery objects. They can (almost) all be converted and used in FSX. And even API's can be converted.

Hi,

Small correction. FS2004 scenery MDL files are supported at the moment, FS2004 aircraft MDL files are not. For best results use the latest development release though, it has many improvements over the 1.0 release.
