• 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.

P3D v3 MCX Scenery compilation error

Hi all,

A problem that's got me beat right now. I'm using MCX to convert FSX scenery to work in P3D using the tried and tested .bgl conversion method. Most files convert okay but, as per Murphy's Law, the largest and most important ones always fail. I've tried everything, including decompiling the bgl into mdl files to examine them etc. All appears well, but no matter what I do the scenery will not show in P3D. All scenery works fine in FSX, but I believe that the original source scenery was designed and compiled in FS9.

I've attached the error log. Anyone seen this before or know some sneaky trick to get around it?

The error indicates there are duplicate attach point names in some objects. These can't be compiled into an object then.

I'll see what I can do about this.
 
Thanks Arno, it would save a major headache if I don't have to convert and physically place every major item on every airfield I update for P3D users :)
 
The input seems to be FS2004 MDL files, so let me check if attachpoints might get double names if read from that format. Hopefully I have time soon to check this and make a small update.
