• 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.

rotate to user problem

Hi John,

Hi all, I have a similar problem to JYARDDOG but I don't see that the problem got resolved? Here is my model both original and tweaked. Is there a diagnosis for the no-rotate problem?

The problem with the MDL file attached is that FSDS put an additional transformation matrix into it. Therefore the rotate to user tweak does not work. GMax does not add this matrix.

I think the best you can do is save the X file from FSDS and compile it with MakeMDL manually. That way you can ensure that the optimize flag of MakeMDL is enabled, which removes such non-needed commands from the MDL file.
 
Thanks Arno. I am still over my head with X and ASM files so it seems the best thing for a Nimrod like me will be to make simple objects like this in GMAX and then tweak them. Thanks again for looking at the .mdl file.
