• 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.

MCX XML not being generated - possible gltf bug

For some reason, when I export models now from MCX, it doesn't generate an XML. It has always done this until now, so I wouldn't have changed anything.

That being said, when I export as "MSFS 2020 .gltf" - it exports without saving texture properties - I have to use the standard "Babylon .gltf".

So now I have to manually create an XML for each model which is very tedious, MCX has ALWAYS generated an XML with model GUID when exporting from that
 
Did you check the glTF settings on the exporter settings? Maybe you have Write model XML set to false there.

As for the texture properties, I assume you mean the XML files with the texture meta data. These are only written if you export to MSFS 2024 glTF, not when you export to MSFS 2020 glTF.

My mistake, Arno

I was using the previous (development) version, that option wasn't there to "Write model XML". I just re-downloaded it and it's there and works, thank you and great tool!

Not the texture meta data but any texture assigned to the mesh - when I export as "MSFS 2020 gLTF" they export pure black so I had to export as a non specific "gLTF" then the model would refresh in sim with it's texture applied.
I will test this using the new version I have and follow up
 
Let me know if you still have issues with the textures. They are exported the same for all glTF versions.
