• 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.

Object laying flat?

I made an extremely basic windsock test model to see if I could get it to work, with the rotate to wind feature. Whenever I load the mdl into mdl tweaker II, it appears laying flat instead of standing upright, and when I save the mdl with the tweaks, it appears laying flat when I try to place it. Why would it be doing this? :(
 
Hi,

The preview is sometimes wrong, especially for objects with animations. But in general the tweaking should still work fine.

Does your object have any animations or transformations?
 
Some of my objects that have no animation or transformations but instead have multiple LOD's also have this display problem. In MDL Tweaker this isn't a problem, since they still display fine in FS after tweaking. But I get the same display problem in ModelConverterX and if I export those objects they appear on their sides in FS2004.

Hope this helps,
 
Hi Tom,

MDL Tweaker is no longer developed. And as you say they are supposed to work fine after tweaking.

But ModelConverterX should not have the same issue. So if you can send a sample file for debugging I might be able to check that is going on there.
