• 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.

P3D v4 MCX - No Volume Shadow? (Solved)

Hello,
I was messing around with one of my models and happened to notice that the Volume Shadow texture option in Model Converter X fails to stay set to true when I export a P3Dv4 MDL. The option does stay set when I export the P3Dv2 and FSX models.

Was this option removed in P3Dv4 or is this just a bug? I have never played around with the Volume Shadow option before this.
 
Hi,

I haven't heard about this before. I'll try to reproduce it later.
 
Hi,

This is what I found in the P3D v4 SDK when checking the material settings:

So your observation is right, this is no longer supported in P3D v4 and therefore on export ignored.
