• 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.

Unsupported Element...

I've added another building to my Blender scene, and cloned the texture on it.

But something I have done with the model wont allow the FSX texture to be exported with it, MCX gives two "Unsupported Element" warnings although the original model displays fine.

The same thing happens if I export it on its own.

If I export it as a .3ds the new building doesn't even appear.

Is there anyway to fault check objects in blender?
 
The plot thickens. If I use MCX to export it as a .3ds the model displays minus the texture and I get a
"14:34 M3DSReader Warning Unknown Chunk: ***UNKNOWN*** (0x0000A08A)"
 
If I export the obj as a .3ds in MCX then try to import this into blender I get a more detailed report...

Looks like these a corruption in the coding of the model?

SUCCESS!

I opened the broken .OBJ into MCX, rendered an LOD. The model displayed the texture, but the LOD 100 remained broken. I deleted the LOD 40 it had generated, and generated another one, then switched to LOD 100 from LOD 40 and presto, the LOD 100 became "fixed" and displayed the texture! Obviously something was wrong with the model but this seemed to fix it.

Now I've exported it as an obj and imported it back into blender, and it works.

it's introduced several new faces. I think it might have been something with the geometry from BOOLEAN operations on the model.

Hurrah for MCX!
