• 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 Failure to generate Object Report

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the latest (V1.7.0.0) MCX. When I try to generate an object report I get an error stating "The Given Path's Format Is Not Supported". I have tried different locations for the dump including directories and even drives but to no avail. It seems an issue with this version..........

Grateful for any assistance to get this working.

Hi,

Does this happen with any object?

I suspect there might be a special character in your library or object name.
 
G'day Arno, thanks for the quick reply. An Aha! moment. I didn't think of trying a different library. Yes it worked. So an issue with my library as you say. How might I find and or correct this issue?
Cheers
Andrew
 
Do you see any special characters.in the name of your library or in objects in that library?
 
A : in the name might be part of the issue.
 
How do I change the name of the object please if I load the library into MCX?
Edit: Figured that out myself. :)

If I change the name will that affect its representation in the Airport in the sim and when loaded in ADE?

Cheers
Andrew

Hi,

No, the object name has no influence on how it is shown in the sim.
 
I will also modify MCX to prevent the crash, now that we know the cause.
 
Thankyou for the prompt help Arno.
Have a great weekend over there in your summer.
Cheers
Andrew
 
I just made a fix, so that will be part of the next development release.
