• 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.

Removing eyebrow windows

I am new to modeling. I got as far as to get a plane into modelconverterx and exporting it into blender.

My question is as follows. For private use I want to edit an existing p3dv5 model its a 737-200. I want to remove the eyebrow windows. I was able to do so. But by exporting it back into modelconverterx. All Animations are gone and the wheels are though the roof flaps are in the engine. Every part is not where it should be. Why is this and how can I achieve what I want? Is there a way to seperate the eyebrow windows from the UV of the regular windows for example and make the material a metal instead of a window. Can I get this change done without breaking the model?

I am new to this so no clue on how to export the animations and make sure the plane has all the parts on the correct place.

Hi,

You can not export animations to Blender by default, so that explains why they are lost after you made the changes.

I would first check if these windows you want to remove are a separate model part in the MDL file or not. If that's the case you can maybe just edit the material settings of that part to remove them.

If not, you are a bit out of luck as MCX was never designed to edit geometry of models.

The eyebrow windows are atrached to the main windows of the cockpit and some wing parts are atrached to it as well. So I guess im out of luck to bad.

Thx for the explanation anyway
