• 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 Having troubleexporting MDL with ModelConverterX

Hi all. Hope your day is going well, because mine is filled with frustration... For the past few days I have been trying to use ModelConverterX to move the default B737 VC in a freeware 767 I have downloaded. The cockpit is too far back obviously because its a 737 VC being used in a 767. which really isn't that much of an issue while flying. But taxiing/parking is a little troublesome since my viewpoint is farther back than the actual nose of the plane, jetways also attach in front of my face in the VC view, which is a little off setting. Anyway, I downloaded ModelConverterX and installed the FSX SDK off my boxed copy. It all starts up fine, I can import the model and move it forward no problem. Once I try to export it however, is where the trouble starts. I have ran into multiple issues regarding MCX not being to find certain executables, which I have easily solved by updating the locations in the MCX settings, but now I'm faced with an error which I cannot seem to get past for the life of me! The error handler reads:



Code: 
An error occured during exporting the selected file



Message:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.



StackTrace:

at ASToFra.Utils.ModelDef.FindGUID(String name)

at ASToFra.ObjectWriter.AllObjectWriter.write(String fileName, ObjectModel objectModel, Int32 filterIndex)

at ASToFra.ModelConverterX.MainWindow.bwExporter_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)





I am running Windows 10 64-bit, up to date AFAIK. I'm using FSX Gold Edition with Acceleration installed. If anyone can provide any insight to how to fix this, or even just what is causing it, I would greatly appreciate it : )
