• 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.

fs2002 gamepack export problem

Hey,

Just a quick one.

I'm trying to create a scenery for fs2004 and i'm currently on the task to make photorealistic ground. However, when i'm trying to export the plane from gmax 2002 gamepack, i get the error "MakeMDL was not found or failed to convert the model... Check your systempath to be sure MakeMDL is on it".

In the fs2002gamepack/plugin-directory i have the MakeMDL files for fs2002.

The object i'm trying to export is just a simple plane with a texture on it.

The wierd thing is that this worked before. I just got a new computer and made backups of all the important directories, such as fs2002gamepack and all the gmax files i've been working on. (been having a break from the fs-world for a couple of months, so everything is a bit rusty)

So just wonder if anyone has a clue what might be wrong? Might be hard to know based on the amount of details i'm able to give, but thought there might be an easy solution that i just don't see.


Regards, '
Marcus

(and thanks for all the previous help with fs2002gamepack, yeah this isn't the first time i've had problem with it ;) )
 
nevermind! i found the solution, seems i've had a similar problem before.

got a bit worried about my memory now :)

sorry!
 
Solution

Alright, i actually had the same problem now again 5 years later.
HERE is the solution that I had to try to figure out once more.

In this case the problem is that my system is set to "," instead of "." in the region preferences in windows.
change that and you will probably be fine.
