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.

Question: How do you currently run all (export related) software on your pc:
1 - Under a regular end_user account?
2 - Under the [Run-As-Administrator] option inside the Windows operating system?
Why? Take a close(r) look at the yellow underlinded error-section in the image below:
Error1: Could not load FILE.... can indicate 1 of the following issues
1a - The file is not present at all on your system, so your other software can not find it at all.
1b - The file IS present, but your ssd / harddisk contains errors, to the fiel has been corrupted and thus unusable -> error1
1c - The file IS present, but your program (XtoMDL) have not enough DIRECTORY / FILE ACCESS_RIGHTS to get to that file, in order op OPEN and LOAD it into RAM memory.
Error2: Could not load ASSEMBLY... can indicate 1 of the following issues
2a - This file is not present at all on your system, so your other software can not find it at all
2b - The file (Microsoft DirectX) is not INSTALLED correctly on your system
2c - Your computer operating system has WINDOWS REGISTRY ERRORS, if the XtoMDL asks the location of this file and the link to it is somehow broken.
Possible solutions;
1a - Install that file on your computer again.
1b1 - Check the file-system-integrity of your ssd/harddisk with a dedicated tool for that purpose (see article on the link below)
-https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/scandisk.html
1b2 - Reinstall that file again after disk-check / repair
1c - Run all related software via the [Run-Ad- Administrator] option (see articles on the link below)
-https://www.digitalcitizen.life/run-as-admin/
This must give you all the DIRECTORY/FILE_ACCESS_RIGHTS you need to complete this operation successfully.
2a - see 1a
2b - see 1b and/or re-pair or re-installed the latest most recent DirectX 12 drivers on your computer system (see the articles on the links below):

WOW!!!! Thanks. I will try this and let you know.... Could you explain this one. Reinstall MCX? I have FS9 sdk/FSX SDK/P3Dv1.4 and the MSFS sdk...for a FS9 model..what file should x to mdl be pointing too. It converts but doesn't write the new fsx mdl because it is "0" bytes? I have run sfc/scannow and it found errors and fixed them and I have updated Windows 10
Thanks @Ronald

8:56 AM XtoMDL Error (0): error : System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX, Version=1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I ran the dxdiag and Direct X12 is installed and no errors in tabs?

DirectX 10, 11, and 12 only provide a handful of legacy DirectX code, but not enough to meet needs of FSX / P3D development.
Try re-installing DirectX-9.0c run times:

Hi again:
AFAIK, regardless of whether you are running Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11, the DirectX-9.0c link I provided above is correct.

IIRC, Tom Gibson may be familiar with quirks- / workarounds for- converting FS aircraft to FSX / P3D via MCX.

The DirectX version installed will not affect the flap animation.
The stable release may work better - there are some positional problems with the development release. Version 1.5 (stable) loads the FS2004 file:
F1_B737-200_CHK.mdl
from version 1.30 with correct flap animations. If you are using another MDL file I can try that instead.
Note however that all the flap animation tags in the Animation Editor (along with the wingfold tags) will need to be re-assigned, since they are red and will be lost upon compiling.

Uhmm..thanks Tom....I am using the PNK..anyway. I was only attempting to just correct the elevator percent key(s); the l/r aileron percent key and the rudder percent key as Action 01 just to get the mentioned to be "flat"..not flying just an ai. If I export as FSX mdl.. everything goes ok except when I re-import..thats when I see the exploded flaps..Any idees? When I re-import the f1_b737-200_pnk_FSX.mdl.. I see the exploded flaps? Tom...I never knew what the red areas meant anyway..kinda old newbie at this...lol

Would this process not be easier if one used the FSX version- rather than the FS9 version- of this aircraft ?
