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.

Thank you Arno, that has worked a treat!! I still get the error on some, but not nearly as much. Ill upload those ones to you when i get a chance.
This a new issue ive got with many aircraft.

Most likely the alpha texture is used for reflection . So you will have to modify the textures to remove the alpha channel here as FS2004 uses it for transparency .

I've come across this issue as well and here are my observations.
If the model has reflective properties as defined in the MDL, you shouldn't have a problem.
If the model has non-reflective properties, after export using MCX the model becomes transparent.
Sometimes a model may have the body reflective and the wings non-reflective.
Maybe try this.
a). With the model loaded in MCX, click on the "Material Editor".
b). Check "Highlight selected" to allow you to see the object on the aircraft that is affected by the material (texture).
c). Click on the first material (texture) which might highlight the body.
d). In the drop down, change "Set default transparent" to "Set Default Opaque" and click apply.
e). Select the next texture which might highlight the wings, do the same thing, change "Set default transparent" to "Set Default Opaque" and click apply.
Do this to all materiel (textures) that are transparent (engine textures) etc.
Hope this helps.
