• 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.

Issue with imported model in ModelConverterX

I have been working on animating a drivable van for FSX . I rigged it and animated it in 3DS Max 2019. However, when I export the animations and the model to ModleconverterX, the model looks like this, how can I fix this?:

But looks like how it should in 3DS max. If I rotate it up, all my animations will be messed up there. I clicked file-export & went to where it said .x for P3D.

Here are snapshots of the settings:

I checked it to see if it was at Z, it was, & the model appears like this still even if i change it:

Thank You!!!!
 
Are you using Bones? As I remember, MCX does not display those correctly.
 
What happens when you compile the X file to an MDL file with the SDK tools and then Import that into MCX?

I try to export it as an mdl with the sdk & it doesn’t quite export. I use the export option & it exports at .x & MCX reads it but it turns out like this now. I tried putting a dummy cube in 3ds max. It fixed the upwards position but now the interior comes out bigger than the exterior , even if i link the entire van’s body to the cube in 3ds max:

Here is the new MCX issue:

Hello...

That would mean that the scale was changed somehow within 3ds Max.
 
Hello...

Unfortunately,... I don't know 3ds Max enough to correct it (unlike Blender its a matter of a couple of clicks and done). You did say that you placed an empty cube (or dummy), I would check it specifically. Is the "Empty" meant to be an "empty LOD" for the exterior? or is it connected to the interior? The "empty" might need to be redone in the correct scale as the exterior.

The empty dummy cube is meant to straighten the position of the model for MCX. I connected it to the interior & the exterior
