• 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.

Objects disappears/ transforms FS9

I'm currently making some of the landinglights at the end of one of my runways and but when i'm exporting it some parts disappears.
I can't really find any pattern but it seems like smaller objects dissapears, mostly when they are standing alone and not near a big object.
In one case one of the lights transformed and looked different than the way i made it.

Its basicly just a cylinder with a cone that simulates the light, in some different variations.

I was thinking that it might be to small to be exported, but then i realized i've exported smaller things than that.
I made the whole thing twice but i still have the same problem.
I also tried exporting it with both fs9 and fs2002 gamepacks but it turned out the same way.
I have succesfully exported objects before and i'm making this objects the same way as i normally do.
Sorry that i can't provide a screenshot, working on a macbook pro with bootcamp and it doesnt have any screenshot button.

Does anyone know that to do?
 
Hi,

Sounds a bit like a bounding box problem. That could result in part of the object dissapearing under certain angles. But usually that does not happen if you just export from GMax, I have only seen such problems after tweaking the output manually.
 
allright.

the only thing i changed was when i exported it with the fs9gamepack. i just changed the location so it would show up in the right place.

has there been any problem with too small objects that you've heard of? somehow i have problems letting the thought go, that it could have something to do with the size of the objects and the small amount of polygons.
 
Hi,

Are you sure you used the Fs2004 gamepack, you can't enter a position in it. That is done with the XML code.

The only problem with small objects is that the exporter crashes if they are too small. But that is not your case.
 
i placed it with xml, but didnt change anything else in the file than that.

seems like my only choice is to try modeling the objects again and see if the same thing happens.
