• 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.

A model(FSXmdl) that I have created in gmax and then exported to FSX-(xtomdl) the model shows up and works in fsx) but when i import into modelconverter x tool it does'nt show up, the tool goes through the importing process (progress bar) but no visual model. Any suggestions Could it be because I have no lods in my model ?

Hi,

No, LODs do not matter for that.

Usually MDL files work fine. Can you maybe send me the MDL file so I can test what is going wrong?

model won't show

Arno i'm not sure what i have changed in fsx gmax other than using the flightsim material editer on my model but now it shows up in the modelconverterx preview window, however sometimes i get a error message after a model does'nt show. I have attached the errior message and a mdl that won't show after going through the importing process (progress bar.) could it be because the model was'nt textured with the fsx gmax (flightsim material editer)

Thanks for your time
J.Abbott
