• 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.

ime using fsx/acc. gmax. paintshop pr.. nvidia dds plugin...lithunwrap...md3..

so my model exports and flys....contact points adjusted...sound aliased..
anims tagged and functioning...texturing tested but not completed..good..

anims done before texture, to model awkward gear parts...

anims will be redone, to a higher level of precission..after tex are built in psp
lots of artwork to do...

unfinished vc exported and works fine, including anims, camera moved back
slightly so i can zoom out a bit more, to suit my cheap bi focal glasses...

so whats my problem.....??..i dont need dxt bmp tool, or need to use image tool do i ?...my pshop pro nvid plugin, can send dds straight to my tex folder and it works....

there are a number of tutorials that show nice neat lists of parts, headed exterior....and lists showing interior, all neatly laid out....
using group, etc...
i didnt bother,,,i exported my ext model to mdl, and i have a jumble of parts
alphabetically listed, which could just as well be called, flibble 1, flibble 2, etc.

the vc is the ext model saved to a new file called interior..then i start hacking
unneed bits out of it...again a flibble list exported to interior file in sim..

works fine......question??. apart from being a scruffy way of doing things..( apologies to scruffy duck)..does it cause problems i dont know about..
i only link objects for anims...given my tools and fsx acc, it would seem that for a beginner this is a simple but messy way to gain experiance before moving on to the proffessional techniques.....years of study.jim
 
You might be "okay" with fibble1, fibble2, dribble18, and drabble83, but...

...I can guarandamteeya that it will come back to bite you on the butt sooner or later...

...when you absolutely have to locate the "HDG knob" in the VC model some day. :duck:

In any case, congratulations on the progress!
