• 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.

MSFS Override existing model.xml

Hi all,

I need only modify one parameter from the model.xml file of an aircraft but, to prevent constantly copy/paste the entire code from the original each simupdate, I wonder if there is a way to simplify the process.

For example, in the aircraft.cfg file we have the tag: [base_container] and we only need to include in our aircraft.cfg file the parameters we need modify.

But for model.xml file I only found this method in the SDK:
XML: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelInfo> 
    <LODS>     
        <LOD minSize="150" ModelFile="C152_LOD00.gltf"/>
        <LOD minSize="100" ModelFile="C152_LOD01.gltf"/>
        <LOD minSize="60" ModelFile="C152_LOD02.gltf"/>
        <LOD minSize="30" ModelFile="C152_LOD03.gltf"/>
        <LOD minSize="10" ModelFile="C152_LOD04.gltf"/>
        <LOD minSize="1" ModelFile="C152_LOD06.gltf"/>
    </LODS>
    <Behaviors>
        <IncludeBase RelativeFile="..\..\Asobo_C152\model\C152.xml"/>
    </Behaviors>
</ModelInfo>
But it only includes the <Behaviors> tag content.

Is there some method to include also the <LODS> tag and future tags that possibly will be added in other updates?
This doesn't work:
XML: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ModelInfo>
    <IncludeBase RelativeFile="..\..\Asobo_C152\model\C152.xml"/>
</ModelInfo>

Thanks, yeah, neither with tags like <NodeAnimation>. I´m trying to do with XML the GetRidOf fix to avoid check files every simupdate but don't know how to include the entire original model.xml file inside my modded file.
