• 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.

Newbie issues. FSX to FS9 aircraft conversions

Depends on how the original creator made.
Can't know without which plane you are saying about.

If a standard way , on FSX , it should attach a effect to the parts.
But on FS2004 , it's BGL.
Uses name of the parts to make it attach on BGL
So if the name is not under won't be attached.

Name like this light_nav_02 then can have a effect there.
At this case Material settings is also needed matrial color needs to be the color of the light

Under is from SDK
LIGHT_BEACONA beacon point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_STROBEA strobe point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color
LIGHT_RECOA recognition point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color
LIGHT_BEACONA beacon point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_STROBEA strobe point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color
LIGHT_RECOA recognition point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color
LIGHT_WINGA wing point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_LOGOA logo point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_NAVA navigation point light is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_TAXIA taxi spotlight is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.
LIGHT_LANDA landing spotlight is drawn, and the diffuse color is the light color.

Im running into this issue. The engine cone spinnner shouldnt move but it spins, like a prop animation. In the animation I saw it was tied to N1 still, slow etc, but even after fixing the animation it still spins. I the changed the animation to prop still, slow etc and fixed again but still appears spinning.

If don't want to spin it , just don't set animation.
Also may be name of the parts is no good so change to something else.
One more to check is where is that spinner linked too.
If linked to the spinning parts , will spin.
So at that case , just unlink it 'Not sure can do at Model ConverterX.

From the screenshot , there is 3 strange parts around the fuselage.
Is that the one you are saying about ?
 
Go to the Animation Editor, check the boxes of the parts that shouldn’t move and click Remove Animation. If you can’t figure out which ones to remove, go to the Hierchy Editor, find the part, right click on the Animation word, and choose remove animation.
 
Ive tried isolating the cone, corrects its orientation, export it. Then imported the fs2004 export, and merge the corrected spinner cone but its still in its original wrong axis.

this is the link if anyone who knows more than me can figure it out.

AVSIM Library

Flight simulators premier web site. Freeware, forums, community; it all comes together at AVSIM.
library.avsim.net library.avsim.net
 
There is a case like , if there is so many parts (may be poloygon level ) using same material too much.
No error but won't show up happens.
Was there any error or warnings on compile?
 
I think you better write what Error it happened to you.
I've downloaded and checked.
So far found is there is MANY " Found colocated vertices within triangle"
It's NOT a MCX matter, model itself's data is not clean.
Just a bad level of modeling.

And at most of the case causes error when compile a model.
At the error found was
13:46:36Mdl9WriterFailed to apply ASM tweaks to modelWarning

Atleast you better report atleast this level.
Arno is a talented person , but his time is limited.
Better show what happened and give a info to decide the priority.
