• 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.

MCX fails to read MDL object from BGL file

Hello, I try to import BGL with objects into MCX. After I try to import, I only see "BglXReader: Failed to read MDL object from BGL file" warning.

File is only 50MB, so I don't think it's the problem, and the best part is that my friends can open same file on their computers.

I have latest MCX with the latest update.



Sim: MSFS
 
Hi,

This might be a similar issue to what we are discussing in this thread at the moment:

www.fsdeveloper.com

MCX Fails to read MDLs in "RJER_ModelLib.BGL".

Hi Arno... first of all, thanks for enabling my account manually. I think this will be very similar to thread: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/mcx-fails-to-read-mdls-in-asobo_props-bgl.460707/ The MSFS 2020 BGL file in question is: "RJER_ModelLib.BGL" from MSFS2020 1.39.12.0(Steam...

A few questions to see if we can understand what is going on:
  • Which MSFS version are you using? And are you using the version from Microsoft Store or Steam?
  • Is it a default BGL you try to read or from an addon? If you specify which file has the issue I can try to import it here as well.
  • Is the file size of the file the same on your computer as on your friends?
  • Do you know if there is a difference in the regional settings (e.g. language) of Windows between your computer and your friends?
 
Hi,

In the other thread I linked to we found that a broken symbolic link somewhere in your MSFS community folder could result in objects not being read. It might be you have the same situation. I have made a fix for that bug and that will be in the next development release.
 
Hi,

A new build with a fix for the problem mentioned in the other thread is online now. Can you check if that fixed your issue as well?

Sorry for the late reply, but it worked when I opened MCX with ExecIT.


However, after doing what I needed to, another problem occurred. I exported the lines that I had edited in an OBJ file and imported them into MCX, but only a few of them showed up (I think it was only the planes that I had edited). Maybe you could take a look at this project, which I will link to this reply, or perhaps you know the answer to my problem. Thank you!
(1 image - plane that showed up in MCX)
(2 image - mesh that didn't show up in MCX like every curve didn't show up)

EDIT: To precise, OBJ Reader showed a warning: unsupported element I few times

Not sure what ExecIT is and how it would help.

ModelConverterX does only read polygons from OBJ files, not lines. I am not sure if the OBJ format stores things like line width so that polygons can be extruded from the lines again.
