• 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.

Preserve node names

After importing an object ModelConverterX does optimise the scenegraph, the structure of all the nodes in the object, as you can see in the hierarchy editor. During this process the node names that ModelConverterX can read from certain file formats were often lost. After multiple requests from users that they would like to keep those names, for example because it make it easier to edit the MSFS model XML or to find a specific node, I have now modified the optimisation logic so that it will preserve those names.

By default the logic to preserve the node names is off, since it can result in a less optimal model structure and thus more drawcalls. But you enable it in the ObjectModel settings in the Options form. Just set the value PreserveNodeNames to true.
