• 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.

FSx mdl lost triangles

Hi Arno,
this FSx object model (static aircraft) wont come in correctly.
Some triangles of the upper right wing root are missing.

It has been built by a fellow of VVT using the latest version of FSDS.
In case you are interested in this beautiful ultra-light airplane the zip file also includes the (real) builder home page.

Cheers
Gian Paolo (under a big snowstorm)

INtgerestingly, with the latest (2008-11-27) build, also with a model coming from FSDS, I have, not merely missing "faces" but whole parts missing, something that did NOT happen with previous builds. MCX build .055 is my "control"

.... and the part names still start with a number, not an alpha character.
 
Hi,

I see your problem, I'll put it on the todo list. I think the polygon is not missing, but drawn facing the wrong side.

Any example of this trouble? That might help to find the problem. I am not aware of changes I made to the FSX MDL importer, but you never know :).

About the 3DS exporter, I am sure I changed that. Are you sure you are not using some old DLL files by accident as Gian also had a while ago?
 
Hi Gian,

I found the bug, should be solved in tonight's build.
 
Hopefully the problems of Felix are also solved with this build :).
 
I confirm - parts once lost are now importing correctly.

The curious thing was that as I rechecked the 3DS model with 3D explopration, the parts were there. I identified the part names from 3D Explporation and looked them up in the imported gmax model, and while listed, the geometry was not visible.

Either way, the lateste download (2008-11-28) appears to have fixed my findings. The missing parts import correctly, and the parts are now labeled with starting letters, instead of numbers.
