• 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.

Hello,

I have created some scenery objects in 3DS Max.
Now, I have exported them from .max to .obj, which I can open in modelvoncerter X, too. But how can I convert it to .bgl to use it in FSX?
Sorry for this stupid question, but there are so many development tools, I lost overview completly. Really to much for a beginner in dev.

Thanks for help.

best regards

You must convert it in MDL for fsx or Fs9 according your version of flight simulator, and create your own library object
 
Hi,

There is a gamepack for FSX for some versions of 3DS Max, so then you can export directly to FSX MDL objects. Which version of 3DS Max are you using?

Using ModelConverterX will also work. From ModelConverterX you can export as FSX MDL. You can then put this MDL in a library BGL and place it with an object placement tool.

Or if you just want to place one or two objects, you can also position them in ModelConverterX and export directly as a FSX BGL file.
 
Ah okay, thanks for answer.
I have converted it now to mdl, then I get an mdl and a .x file, probably as I want to use it in fsx.

@arno
At the moment I working with 3DS Max 2012 since a short time, prior I did use 2011.

For object placement I think FSX Planner is a good solution. Now I have to find out how to put my mdl file to a bgl library.
May the FSX SDK can help:)

But good answers, I am really glad about it and gratefully for more tips.

best regards

Hi,

Have a look at my Library Creator XML tool, it gives you a GUI to make a library BGL.
 
arno your tools are fantastic:)

After I have understood that I have to tell modelconverterx the path of xtomdl compiler, I get a correct mdl file.

And now I have converted it to a bgl via your bgl library tool.
Now I hope that I can place my objects in FSX:)

Thanks for help.
Really good support here.
