• 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 Export Issue

Hello

Here is my problem that I am hoping to find a solution for...

I have imported my model into MCX correctly from Sketchup ( as far as I can tell, I followed a tutorial) and I have followed other tutorials for exporting my object as an MDL but it doesnt work.

I get no error messages, and I do all the required steps beforehand (again I think) but there is no MDL file made, it converted the textures to DDS files but it will not make an MDL file, it just doesnt appear in the folder I sent it too.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lee

Hello,...

Describe How your exporting to a model? Maybe a little more info would help determine what is happening...
 
What does the error log say? Post a picture of the last window of those lines.
 
Hi guys

I am importing a dae file from sketchup, I then do the mass texture editor and drawcall stuff. Then I hit export, choose a FSX MDL file and say save. Ive also done the convert and placement wizard with no luck.

Where is the error log?

Also should the GUID under the object info tab be all zeroes? Thats what it is...

00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

thanks again

Ok,... no the GUID shouldn't be all zeros,... show a picture of the screen after you have tried to export,.... such as this: What showing on the bottom of MCX after you have exported? What version of MCX are you using also?

Here are the pics, I hadnt looked at the event log before but I guess it shows some clues by the looks of it.

Also it looks like im using an older version of the program than you are.

The pic of the hangar is right after trying to export

Ill put a pic of my settings up for good measure



thanks again
