• 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.

MSFS20 Having seemingly random problems importing 3d objects from blender

Yesterday me and my buddy worked for 6 hours trying to figure out how to get stuff into the project editor from blender. We have been successful making scenery using standard assets. With the blender objects, many times it doesnt work. I'm pretty new to both blender, the sdk and scenery editing in general.

In the end, after 6 hours, we figured out that if we have a custom asset used in a scenery package that is already installed in the community folder you cannot import any more 3d objects. Or something along those lines. I removed the custom scenery for the airport I was editing, and voila, I could import the 3d objects. Then today I watched some more youtube guides and successfully imported 2 different 3d models into the sdk. Later I wanted to show my friend my progress and how easy we could import stuff into the sdk, but now I cant get it to work again.

Tried exporting the standard cube from blender, but couldn't get it to work.
This is the screenshot from the console:

Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?
 
Have you remembered to apply all transforms in blender before exporting? You can do that in blender by choosing 'object' > 'Apply' > 'All Transforms'
That might be the problem as it seems to be mentioning something with the object scale in the error message.
 
Did you use the fs exporter. If you are using a mesh for the airport, i recomend renderoc and google earth for blender.
 
Happens to me all the time. The same gLTFs from blender sometimes work and sometimes they dont LOL.

The best thing ever is to not waste time trounleshooting why they dont work and continue modeling - knowing that eventually it will just work again (when it wants to).
 
It happened to me too, it says something about "compiler error":

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2024: Failed to process closing element tag <GLTFData> near line 6!

but I checked those lines aroung No 6, everything was OK!

My solution:
1/ export the object from blender as .obj
2/ open a new blender project
3/ import the .obj into that brand new blender project
4/ export that to extended glTF (MSFS) again and put that result into MSFS

Tadaaaahh, no more strange compiler error in the SDK, god knows why ;-)
