• 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.

Arno,
Im pretty savy with a pc, I know some about registry edits and other aspects of pc ops, what to change and such.

I have a quick question. I have MCX stable release 1.3.0.0 (from DL section of FSDEVELOPER). I have it installed in a directory. I have over 3000 zip files, pdf, executable, etc, etc, etc, and have since started a new dedicated directory to all aviation related items, further broken down according to real and simulated, FS aircraft and panels and such, another folder for scenery development, another for other aspects of fs modifications.
Basically it was all mixed up, and now I am organizing, almost done except for the programs installed. I want to move MCX to the new filing system, but since I used the mcx zip from here, I cant remember if it was an installer msi or how I installed it.
I just need to find out, can I just drag and drop the ModelconverterX_130 folder or is there a specific method to uninstall it (as I would just uninstall and reinstall if this is the case so i dont have to mess in the registry)?

I don't think ModelconverterX has any registry references that require altering.

The only thing you would need to "fix" might be shortcuts.

Other than that the program just runs in the folder in which it resides.
 
Hi,

Modelconverterx does not use the registry. So you can just move it.

The only thing you will notice is that your settings are lost. They are stored using the .net settings and windows stores them in your user data folder. But it uses the full installation path to identify them. So you need to recheck your settings.
 
Hi kevintampa5,

I think Ian is spot-on as regards MCX.
