• 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 latest - trying to add object into sim

I've tried all the tutorials on getting an object into the sim and still, I keep having an empty bounding box. I've tried using the tutorial video, using mdl files in fsx mode and still get the same "empty" bounding box - I've even tried a sample model, incase there was something wrong with my models and still no change.

a. could it be that there's something wrong with the sim installation?
b. the airport i'm working on is missing airport buildings and i've looked everywhere for any files that I may have created (in case of exclusion) - which I can't find. if anyone can confirm this - it's FAGC
c. if I try to compile an xml I still get header version errors - what is the latest ms xml version that should be used?
 
If there is a bounding box there must be something there. Have you checked the textures are in the right place, the right format and power of 2?
 
Even trying to load the sample Light model, textures are there, and in power of 2, - I'm still getting this ... object also comes up as "unknown" starting to think somehow something has gone wrong with my simulator.
