SceneryDesign.org Until now ModelConverterX could not read MSFS 2024 library BGL files, you would get an error that the objects inside were not recognised. This is because MSFS 2024 does store your glTF models differently in the BGL file than MSFS 2020 did. You might have noticed that the BGL files are also smaller for MSFS […]
FSDeveloper up again!
Luckily I found a work around for the very slow FTP upload speed, so I have got the new forum software uploaded now and FSDeveloper is running fine again.
FSDeveloper upgrade issue
Just a quick note, I was in the process of upgrading FSDeveloper to the latest forum software version when the process got completely stuck. It seems to be in an invalid state now and I have to manually upload the new version. But since the FTP is very slow I’m afraid that might take a […]
Wasting performance
With the new LOD system in MSFS 2024 I did notice that more users are using the LOD Creator tool of ModelConverterX as well to add levels of details to their models. So this triggered me to look at a number of issues and feature requests for the LOD Creator that were still on the […]

MSFS 2024 materials

Based on the information in the SDK (schema’s, Blender scripts, …) I have tried to implement all new material options and also the schema’s that have changed since MSFS 2020. The information in the schema’s and SDK did not always align, so I […]

Building generation improvements
I have improved the buidling generation algorithm that scenProc uses to create 3D building models from footprints. Additional roof types, chimneys and dormers can now also be generated. I had started on these improvements over a year ago, but got disrupted by the FS2004 aircraft MDL export that I worked on last year a lot. […]
