• 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.

FSX 3dsmax prepar3D export problem

Hello

I have a problem with the P3D exporter.
I get following message when I export to .x file format.

ESP 1.0 models are specified in meters. This model is not stored in meters, but the exported file will be in meter. Check to make certain the dimensions of the model are correct.

Problem is, that my model is very big now in fsx.
My units configuration is set to Cutom FL=1.0 Meters.

Until now, it worked fine, but suddenly I get this message and the described problem. Don't know why and how to find the right scale for my model now.

Anybody knows this problem?

thanks
comy
 
Hi comy,

You need to change the "System Unit Setup" to 1 Unit = 1.0 Meters.

Display units and System units are different and the System units need to be set like mentioned above.

I recommend creating a fresh clean scene with the units setup properly and then merging your old scene in. Results may vary, backup your files.
