• 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.

FSX Steam Edition, Cannot point MCX to XtoMDL

Making my first scenery for FSX, and I read up that XtoMDL is not included in the steam SDK. SO I took the advice of Scuffy Duck and downloaded P3D 1.4 version where it is included. The main issue is that MCX does recognize it in the highlighted area but not on the area the pointer is pointing at. Furthermore I fail to see how I can point it to the location...
How do you update the path when there is no button for such?

Kindest regards,
Drago

Hi,

I don't understand the question. Xtomdl seems to be setup correctly. The other arrow is pointing to the option that determines if X files should be kept or not after export.

With the settings as they are, can you export to a mdl file?
 
Oh yes, I completly missunderstood what was written. My bad. Now, I cannot export it since the XtoMDL is not found in the SDK of ether Steam edition nor that of P3D v1.4. Any thoughts in how I am to aquire the said component?
 
If you check the path in the options, is there a xtomdl.exe there?
 
No matter, I've found what I needed, it was just buried in 3DSM2012 folder. RTy for your help!
 
But are you saying the default path didn't work? Then I should check if that's a bug in MCX.
 
I think you are using an old version of MCX as well, looking at the screenshot. In the latest development release this should have been fixed already.
