• 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.

Thanks dear Bill
could you confirm that the scale parameters are the underlined in the picture ?
Where is it the command "Reset scale" ? I am not able to found it ..

Once only .. exporting the model appears this warning OBED ... I dont know what means ...

Yes, those are the scale parameters, and as I suspected they are wrong, wrong, WRONG...
Also, those are the very things that are causing the "OBED Scaling Error" when exporting!

"Reset: Scale" is found under the Hierarchy Tab on the right-side menu (that is the icon with the large box and three smaller boxes under it).

1. Select an object
2. Click once on Reset: Scale
3. Click once on Reset: Transform
4. Select another object
5. Repeat steps #2, #3, and #4 until every object has been Reset!
Click to expand...

If you keep the Track View open, you will see the values being reset to 100.0 as you work your way through all of the objects in your project.

NOTE:
This is what happens if you "Scale" your project incorrectly! If you need to re-Scale your entire project for any reason...

1. Select ALL objects in the scene
2. Add an X-Form modifier to the scene's stack
3. Scale up/down as necessary
4. Collapse ALL objects to E-Mesh or E-Poly as desired
Click to expand...
This will keep the Scale Properties correctly set to 100.0

Inspector Poly has been suitably restrained in his padded cell... that was too good an opening ...
 
Bill O., the sad fact is that I've forgotten far more than I remember!

Nearly everyday I find myself having to go back and research the answers I've given over the years, because I've just stubbed my toes on a "new problem" myself and can't remember my own bloody answer! :rotfl:

@Felix: Please express my sincere thanks to the good Inspector for exercising such sublime restraint! :)

Old? I'm sixty-two now, but somedays almost have the energy levels of a eighty year old...

By the time you have done Scale Reset 207 times, I guarantee you will never forget it! :duck:
 
Reminds of me of the teacher torture technique.. writing something 1,000 times on the chauk board...


ack!

Beware....! Beware and bare fourth your courage and gird up your eyes. Seek the blue and white button! For it will be the portal of which thou shalt or shalt not have 'texturization!!!!!'

The wee button that says..... 'NONE Shall pass......!'

(or at least it said that to me)
 
hello GANDALF.....dont worry this is a fs developers joke....at least for those using gmax...and i think, 3ds max.....

in the material editor...at the top is a little blue and white checkered cube...

its easy to do a lot of work in the mat editor....and get no results...because you have to click on the cube button to apply your textures....

first time users can be driven mad by this easy to forget step...thats if gmax hasnt driven them crazy already....

as for the next step after modelling...and making sure you can export...its probably uvw mapping....which also seems crazy,until you get used to it...jim
 
Sorry Gandalf,

Jim is correct. There is a joke circulating about how, long ago, when I was learning Gmax, that I couldnt get my textures to show up. For a solid week, all I did, every day, day in and day out, even at night, was try to figure out how to get the textures to show up in Gmax. I tried all I could. By the end of the week, I was throwing things at the walls, almost through the computer out the window, raging angry. At Friday evening, I was ready to quit Gmax, prepared to go back to FSDS, and Fr. Bill Leaming said; 'um.. you did remember to tick on the blue and which checkered texture button, yes?'

Voila...
