• 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.

Hi all,

I have just put online a new version of ModelConverterX with an update to the user interface. Don't worry, I did not change how the tool looks, only some behaviour. What I did is make it more modular, mainly so that I can develop the tool easier and also reuse certain components in other tools.

But this change also has a benefit for you. With the new modular design you can leave any form or editor open and it will be updated correctly for actions you do in other editors or forms. So for example the material editor will be updated correctly when you use the drawcall minimizer. Before this did not always happen and some forms might still display old information.

So I hope you like this new behaviour. Since the change affect quite some code, I tried to test every bit of it. But if you still find some functions that no longer work or don't do what you expect, please let me know and I will fix it.
