• 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.

FSX ModelConverterX problem

Searching the web , found a ground vehicle (tram) .gmax file and it's texture folder . Opened it with GMax , deleted the animation , gave it a GUID and friendly name
and exported it as . mdl in a working folder .
Imported the .mdl with MCX and the vehicle (Tram) is there , textures and all .
Then l made a folder complete with sim.cfg and .air .file and copied the model and and texture folder into FSX .
Imported the .mdl (the one l copied in FSX/..../GroundVehicles) with MCX the vehicle is there with NO TEXTURES .

Any suggestions
 
What format are the textures that you are using in FS? How did you create/convert them? They may be in the wrong format.
 
Extended bmp and they came with the gmax file .
Like l said when l import the model with MCX from my working folder it appears fine , but when from FSX folder l get the chequered shape of the model
 
Since GMAX cannot read extended BMP files, I don't know why they would pack them with that file?

If they *can* be read in GMAX then they are likely 24 bit BMP files, which FS cannot read.

Hope this helps,
