• 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.

Models not showing up - unknown models

Hello,

I'm working on an airport I'm about to finalize. Using MSFS2024 SDK, I'm not getting any of my models showing up using dev mode. Also, when trying to build and export the sim crashes. When looking through the object list, it's showing "unknown model" for all my custom models I have inserted. My model library is also not showing up in the library list in the SDK. No idea what's going on, and I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Any bright ideas?
 
Add one asset at a time in your project

Start with the placement .XML and compile with that only
Then add model by model

(Unknow is expected until you have a good compiled project with its modelLib, otherwise the game cannot load your models...)
 
The project I working on in MSFS2024 is a project from MSFS2020. When opening the project I'm not seeing any of the custom 3D models which shows up as "Unknown model" in devmode. When trying to export I get a CTD. I have also tried to delete these "Unknown models" and export again, but the same happens. CTD. I think I've tried pretty much everything, but it won't compile.
 
Sometimes I have the same result.

Create a backup of your project. Then click in Clean all and then Compile again.
This works for me, I hope that works for you too.
 
Just tried a couple of times what you suggested, but unfortunately in my case I'm still getting CTD after a little while.
