• 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.

    MSFS24 MCX v1.9.2026.0706 Failed to read object from BGL file

    Looking at the log 86 objects were loaded , but some objects do give errors. I need to check what is different on those MDL files in the BGL.

    FS2004 Unlimited Export (part 1)

    Yes, the fix I made also works for this model. I'll push it to the development release soon.

    FS2004 Unlimited Export (part 1)

    OK, I made a fix for the CV-580 issue, let me check if that fixes the HS-125 as well.

    FS2004 Unlimited Export (part 1)

    Hi, I can reproduce the error here with that model. I think it has something to do with some corrupt normals in the model.

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    You can modify the texture search path so that it includes a specific folder, but that is not really user friendly to have to change that every time. I think supporting the livery packages properly is probably the best way to go. So if anybody can point me to a model that does not work I can...

    MSFS20 Easy option for user to activate or not static aircraft on my freeware airport

    I would indeed put their placement information in a seperate BGL file, so that you can easily swap that in or out.

    how to remove land overpass bridges but keep overwater bridges in prepar3d?

    Ok, globally that would be a bit challenging indeed. That would require that you somehow extract the bridge data and the water data so that you can reason which to keep and which not. In theory you can generate the excludes with scenproc if you have the data. At the moment scenproc can not...

    how to remove land overpass bridges but keep overwater bridges in prepar3d?

    Hi, I guess the best way is to make excluded for the land areas and not for the water areas. Do you want to do this in one region (how big)? Or ons global scale?

    FS2004 MakeMDL 'access denied' on large batch exports

    Could it be your virus scanner is locking the files ModelConverterX works with? In the background ModelConverterX makes a copy of MakeMDL to a temp folder, where it then places the custom MakeMDL.parts.xml file. After compiling these temp files are removed again. But those delete actions are...

    FS2004 Unlimited Export (part 1)

    Hi, I'll have a look if I can reproduce the error.

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    Also sounds like ModelConverterX might still not support the way MSFS 2024 can do this completely. So if somebody comes across a default or free model with that structure , please let me know so that I can test it. If you load a livery package it usually only contains one livery, so the...

    FS2004 MakeMDL 'access denied' on large batch exports

    Which version of ModelConverterX are you using? I tried to export the autogen.bgl a few more times, but no error yet. Looking at the stack trace in the error report I can't really understand which bit of the code is throwing the error, the access denied comes from a delete directory action...

    FS2004 MakeMDL 'access denied' on large batch exports

    Hi, The uploaded error report does not provide a lot more information, as this issue does not come from the object but probably from the system. It should not really matter from which format you imported when you export to FS2004. So weird that it only happens when you import from FSX. I'll...

    FS2004 MakeMDL 'access denied' on large batch exports

    Are you using the export scenery dialogue to write the FS2004 BGL or are you using the batch convert wizard? I just exported the autogen.bgl from FSX to FS2004 three times, but no error yet. I will try a few more times later on, but for now I got a bit fed up with the flashing MakeMDL window...

    FS2004 MakeMDL 'access denied' on large batch exports

    Let me try to reproduce this, sounds like a bug.

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    Is this a package I can download and test with somewhere? It might be that ModelConverterX does not handle this situation correctly, I haven't seen glTF files with full paths before. Maybe I only need to take the filename in that case.

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    Do you have an example of how the livery package is structured? I mainly tested with the MSFS default aircraft and how their liveries are done, but maybe this one has a slightly different structure.

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    I checked, it was before version 1.8 stable was released. So the latest stable release should also work. https://www.scenerydesign.org/2025/10/improved-livery-support-or-should-i-say-msfs-vfs-support/

    MSFS24 Import/define livery for aircraft

    Hi, Which version of ModelConverterX are you using? I did improve support for livery packages a few months ago. Are you using a recent development release?

    FS2004 aircraft mdl export

    Thanks for reporting these issues, as else I would not have found them. I'll release a new development release with the fix included later today.
