• 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 Gmax Export error

Hmmm ...

For some reason the program thinks the folder is an .x file. I'll look into this.

For the time being, rename the folder Rooivalk to something like "Roo", that should do the trick.

If more errors come up please quote the ULE.log file here.

For me, I have to make sure that the names are correct, or they are not modified.

I export from Gmax to my desktop, then I have my ULE folder opened and just drag the files to the ULE folder, press X-Files Scale, 'zap', done, re-drag to Desktop, continue.

I have the first generation ULE files though. MJahn, is there a huge improvement? Can I just keep running the 1stGen version? Will I need a new config for the new Gen if I upgrade? (I am thinking I should know this, lol.. ).
 
Hi Bill

Well, they say never change a working config?

Anyway, for the record,

New in V 1.6 Beta - Added Bounding Box resize in asm_4. Tweaked asm file now marked ";;" in line 1 for autodetection. Important: Revised procedures A, B, C.

New in V 1.8 Beta: Simplified ULE.cfg options. ULE.log logfile to save error
messages. Sample MakeMdl/MdlCommander setup.

New in V 1.9 Beta: Added Kill_MkMdl shortcut to ULE_Compile folder; revised
Readmes.


I suppose it would do no harm to try 1.9B using separate folders.

There will be a V 2.0B soon rectifying the error mentioned above.
 
Dang MJahn!

You are fantastic!

My goodness man. You have done alot of work here. I use the heck out of this ULE I have, and I think its 1.1.

I'll get it and check it out. Ive got to see the latest and greatest version.

Is the ULE in the Wikipedia?

I guess its time to redo my tutorial PDF and base it around the ULE system.


EDIT: I just looked for the ULE in the Wikipedia, couldnt find it.

Cool, Renaming to Roo did the trick! :D

Thanks very much! appreciate the effort and help on an old sim like FS9 - as this is not necessary on FSX.
 
Good. Best of luck with getting the sections to display properly, that's the next hurdle to take, calling for some trial and error.

Bill: the current link is

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8075816/mjahn/ULE_19B.ZIP

The double folder layout (ULE for editing, ULE_Compile for getting the x-files, two readmes) isn't really the bee's knees, must think of a better solution.

Nice work!

Note, you can only do one shadow model. Shadows will not have LOD options. Simply take a ton of parts out of the shadow export when you are ready to make a shadow model version. A neat cheat for shadow models is using Weld/Distance and welding some of the close Vertices up on the people to make them less sophisticated in structure/polygon count, (same shape, less poly's), and then your shadow will work more efficiently (higher Frame Rates).
