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.
Model Converter x error
- Thread starter revs
- Start date
Hello Arno,
Thanks for your reply.
When I restarted the error did not show. Problem solved, hopefully.
I now cannot save as an MDL file or to be more precise it is saved as a shortcut.
I checked the that the textures were to the power of 2, saved them, yet I still get a warning that 4 of the 19 textures are not to the power of 2.
All the textures seem to be saved OK.
Also, is it possible to use ModelConverterX without FSX being installed. I have a laptop and find it useful as an alternative to a desktop to use SketchUp.
Regards Ron

Hi Ron,
The drawcall minimizer will only affect textures that are not repeating on the your model. So if you have one that is tiled, it will stay as it is. If that one has a size that is not a power of two you will get the warning. Using the Mass Texture Editor should help you to resize those as well.
You can use ModelConverterX without FSX, but to be able to export to MDL files you need to have the SDK installed.
