• 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.

FSXA RESOLVED! Unhandled Exception with Convert and Place Object Wizard

Hi and apologies if this problem has been posted already - I did search, honestly!

O.K. - I've a very simple Collada model made with Blender 2.79. Imports into MCX 1.3.0.0 without problem and displays correctly.

When I select the Convert and Place Wizard, I get an Unhandled Exception pop-up message:

OLD_MCX_Portacabin_Location_Export_24Feb19.jpg

Nevertheless, the Addon Scenery\scenery folder gets the converted bgl and the original bmp textures appear as DDS files in Addon Scenery\texture.

And, the object appears correctly positioned in FSX.

So, I'm a happy bunny - but just wish the Unhandled Exception pop-up didn't appear!

Any ideas, folks?

Cheers - Dai. :cool:

P.S. And the same Unhandled Exception pop-up appears when I use the Development Release Package, too ...
 
Hi,

Version 1.3 is really old, so use the development release. Can you see additional details for the error, like the stack trace? Then I can maybe see where the problem occurs.
 
Hi Arno - tried again, using dev version of MCX (not 1.3.0)

First image shows successful completion after Convert and Place Wizard, together with inset FSX view of correctly located object.

Second image shows that the Unhandled Exception pop-op message appears when you try any operation with MCX - it just appears! Image also shows correctly updated scenery and texture folder contents (bgl and DDS files).

I've also uploaded the 'details' of the Unhandled Exception. If this isn't the stack trace you require, please let me know how to retrieve this info.

Like I said before, I'm quite happy - MCX is doing what it should but the pop-up message may mean that, in future, I may run into other problems.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers - Dai.

Hi,

This is the stack trace, you I'll try to reproduce it.

Are you using the latest development release, I fixed a bug two weeks ago that might be related to this.
 
Hi Arno - just installed latest dev release - seems like the same problem with this version, sorry!
Cheers - Dai.
 
OK, thanks for checking. I'll try to reproduce the error.
 
Hi,

Good news for you. I can reproduce the error. Let me try to fix it now :)
 
Fixed it now, so in the next development release it will work. This bug must have been there for years already, surprising that you are the first one to report it. Thanks!
 
Sorry, Arno - been away - missed your post but Thanks for confirming! As I said, the Convert and Place works perfectly, just me being pedantic about the pop-up message!!
Very best wishes - Dai. :cool:
