• 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.

Virtual Cockpit Model Development

If so, I'm very, very, VERY interested in how you've achieved that.

If a FS9 aircraft has an exterior but no interior, it can be fused with an interior. I've seen it before. I've DONE it before.

Oh you claim this now after having asked your original question?
I was thinking of possibly making a interior for the HJG DC-8 for personal use in FSX. How would I model an interior?

Okay, have it your way. Nearly twenty years of professional modeling in FS and I've never heard of such a thing...
 
If you have separate exterior and interior gmax files you can create a single mdl via BGLC_9 for FS2004. The ULE tool allows you to do that albeit with much trial tweak and error. Even if you don't have the exterior gmax file you can always make one using MCX. Unless copyright restrictions are in force.

For an example see this recent post: "I have tested and the VC integrated into the exterior model."

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/posts/680860/

I did it myself, too, quite a while ago when ULE was new. On the whole of course doing this for FS2004 is no longer worth the trouble. What, go back to 1024 textures? No specs, no bumps?

For FSX things are easier of course, even given a portover exterior model. Modelconverter that to 3ds, then gmax, adjust animations (hm...could be just a wee bit difficult),compile as native FSX, couple them via model.cfg. done.

Makes sense. I hadnt heard of this before. If it doesnt have a VC in the FS9 model, technically it might work. If youve done it before, thats pretty cool tech to know.

With that, I wonder if one could severe out a VC from a nice FS2004 model and then create a nice, new FSX version for one.
