• 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.

Years ago I installed tweak and years later one day, I clicked on build exterior. It started to run then the build exterior window came up again, I X'ed out o fit and the program continued to finish. I went to get my mdl but got a message - this is not a usable mdl'.

As a test, I sent tweak to 3 friends, told them how to install, how to set up and configure, sent them my mdl I was using. I coached them through the process. Each friend was successful! Ergo something is going on with my machine ostensibly.
any ideas? Bob
 
Did you have all the relevant paths for modeldef xtomdl etc input?

Been using it for many years, possibly even 10 or more with no issues, so chances are you're right!
 
What utilities are needed for Tweak? ... like dot net framework and such? Maybe I need to upgrade one of these or get an older one... which is impossible because Windows always says... cannot change, your version is newer. The more Windows changes things, the more they mess things up! hahaha
 
I meant to update things here some time ago. It turns out that the SDK often has xtoxml in two places sometimes. both I thin are i bin . But, one is is sm7 something, and the other is in sm9. These are not the exact titles, but I think y'all know what I mean. Sometimes one of thos does not work whereas the other does. I have know this for years and told others if they had xtoxml compile problems. I forgot my own advice. I switched th e location of xtoxml from one to the other. FSDSTweak now works fine.
