• 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.

Where can I find the FS2004 makemdl.parts.xml file

Importing a mdl file in MCX I get the error makemdl.parts.xml missing from MakeMDL installation. I downloaded the SDK and don't know where this file could be.
First I get the message 'Error while loading modeldef.xml file.
 
Hi,

That file should be in the folder of your makemdl.exe, do you have no XML file there?

Which version of MCX are you using? I recently modified the check for the XML at startup. Setting either the modeldef.xml or makemdl.parts.xml in the options is sufficient.
 
Thank you, perhaps I have a deeper problem. In my SDK -folder I only have some downloaded exe-files. For FSX I had a ConfigSDK.exe. Exist such a file for FS2004?
 
If you downloaded the MakeMDL SDK, after running that installer you should have the tool, XML file and documentation in the folder you installed to.

For FSX there is one SDK installer for all tools, for FS2004 each sub SDK has its own installer. There is no config SDK tool or so.
 
Most of the tools do not require a specific location, except for the GMAX SDK.
 
Hi Arno and Tom
Thank you, I found it. Installing MakeMDL SDK was a little surprising. There were only three options: Modify, Repair and Remove, not Installing;)
