• 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.

FS2004 BGL_LIGHTs are exported from GMAX with no coordinates, sdk2k2

Hello.
I have a file with quite a large amount of BGL_LIGHTs (about 15k). When exporting all of them from GMAX via sdk2k2 only 1496 lights are exported with coordinates:

BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -1484.749, 0.001, -743.708, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1494
BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -1549.162, 0.001, -705.292, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1495
BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -1613.575, 0.001, -666.876, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1496
BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -0.389, 0.000, 0.389, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1497
BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -0.389, 0.000, 0.389, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1498
BGL_LIGHT LIGHT_NAV, -0.389, 0.000, 0.389, 20, 0.60, 0.40, 0FF00FF00h, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 ; source poly num = 1499

Those are particular 1496 lights, not first 1496 in each file. If exporting even one light not from those 1496, it will be exported with no coordinates, so this is not a poly-related limitation error. I haven't seen anything like this before. The file was actually created in Max and converted to GMAX via 3ds format, but all the polygons and materials (LIGHT_NAV_***) seems to be correct.

I would highly appreciate any help and tips.
 
What I did is split all models to several gmax-files and export them into separate MDLs, then copy/paste data from each ASM into one.
