• 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.

Hi,

You don't have DirectX 9.0c installed, which is required by the XtoMdl tool.
 
Arno,...

Is it possible for you to include a search for DirectX 9.0c within MCX making sure its installed as well?
 
I was thinking the same this morning. Maybe like checking the dot, I should also check the DirectX version and make a nice error message when not found.
 
Hi guys,thanks for the reply

I think if you can do that DX searcher Arno that can help

Regarding MCX, so i must have DX as well as C++ installed

Regards
 
Hi all,

You need to enter a full path so that the tool knows where to put the files.
 
Done and it works

Thank you very much guys (Arno & Pyscen),your help was great

Made my 1st object,so now the bigger objects will be made

Have a nice day all
 
Hi all,

I have a question, can you check if the following folder does exist on your system:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\DirectX for Managed Code\1.0.2902.0

This should be the location that the DirectX files that XtoMDL sometimes misses are located. But I'm not sure if they are there on my machine because I have the DirectX SDK installed (I think I have) or because of the runtime files.

So can some of you confirm the folder exists on your machine as well? Then I can let MCX check this before running XtoMDL.
 
Great and both of you don't have all kind of developers SDKs and that kind of stuff installed?
 
Actually not much on this system, a version of Microsoft SDK for P3D and one for FSXSE.
 
Great, I'll add the check for DirectX in this way then. Seems to be a safe approach :)
 
Hi Guys
Had some pc trouble the last couple of days,and now MCX is requiring some assistance
When i do a test cube in SU and drop 6 textures on it,i go to drawcall,predict,then minimize
The to textures,i make them power of 2 and click to save textures in the same folder as my original .dae file
It changes all my formats to DDS,but soent save at all
The imagetool screen(as per pic) pops up for every texture but nothing saves,no texture,nor the mdl
Your help would be appreciated
Is the path wrong ect,if so,please guide me

Your not supposed to see the imagetool screen, it should run in the background. Are you using the fsx imagetool?
 
Hi Arno
Please see attached pics
Only have FSX installed with FSX SDK
Please check if i maybe have the wrong paths
Regards

Hello...

Which version of ImageTool do you have?

Also,... Which version of FSX have you installed? Is it the Deluxe version or maybe the FSE version?
