• 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.

MCX does not import MDLs

Hey there,

I am using MCX on a different computer at the moment as I am not at home but wanna work on my project. I have all paths set up and converted collada files to .mdl successfully already. Texture conversion etc. works too.

But when I want to load -any- mdl file, MCX does not even start to import it. The "Select File" window just closes and nothing happens. This applies both to mdls that I converted from my laptop and to mdls that I converted (and reopened) successfully from my original computer.

A friend was able to open the .mdl and work with it - it worked in the sim as well. Just my MCX does not open any mdl. There is no error message or import events - just nothing happening at all.

Any ideas?
 
Try right clicking the MCX icon/name and choose Run As Administrator?
Check if the Windows Regional Setting for the decimal separator is a period (.) and not a comma (,)?
 
Thanks for the reply,
did both, no difference.

I can load and convert .collada without any diffuclties.
Just .mdl doesnt load
 
Hi,

Which message do you see in the event log at the bottom of the screen? That should help to tell you what is going on.
 
Hi,
There is no message at all. The 'choose file' dialogue closes down, but nothing else happens. Importing collada works fine. I used the convert & place wizzard to create a bgl and the object is displayed in the simulator, but when I try to import that bgl I get the error message that it doesn't contain a mdl :?
 
You should get some messages in the event log, unless your file has a very weird extension of something like that that causes it to not be detected as the right file type.
