SceneryDesign.org FSW MDL support & Material editor filtering
Last week Dovetail (finally) released a SDK for Flight Sim World (FSW). I have now updated ModelConverterX to support the FSW MDL format as well. This means you can read and write the FSW MDL files. To write them (or the FSW BGL files) you need to have the SDK installed. I can’t garantuee that […]
X-Plane OBJ exporter
I have added an exporter for a new format to ModelConverterX, you can now also export to the X-Plane OBJ format. Importing this format was supported for quite a while already and now I have finally added the export as well. The following aspects are supported by the exporter: Textures (diffuse and nightmap) Levels of […]
Autogen Configuration Merger 1.1 released
I have just released a new stable version of Autogen Configuration Merger, you can download it via the ACM page. This version adds support for Prepar3D v4. This has been in the beta release for a while and is stable enough now for the stable release. Another change that was recently added is that sceneries […]
ModelConverterX command line arguments
ModelConverterX supports a number of command line arguments, for example to load a file at startup or to start a batch convert. I have now added a few extra command line arguments to give more flexibility. Below example usages are given. Loading object To load an object at startup of ModelConverterX you can just specify […]
Mouse rectangle mess
ModelConverterX can read and write the mouse rectangles of virtual cockpit MDL files for quite a while already. But this week I fixed some annoying bug in that code. These bugs must have been there for quite a long time already. Now and then some issues with mouse rectangles were reported on the forum, but […]
Recent changes
Until today you could view the recent changes in my tools here on the website, there used to be a link for that in the menu on the left (or on the bottom if you are viewing on a mobile device). But lately that change log was not being updated correctly anymore, so that recent […]
AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc
This week I was approached by an AeroFly FS 2 user with the question if scenProc could be used to make cultivation (the AeroFly name for autogen) for AeroFly FS 2 as well. Of course this was not the highest priority item on the wishlist to work on, but I liked the challenge and the […]
Hierarchy editor improvements
Last week I made two changes to the hierarchy editor: You can now drag nodes in the hierarchy editor, so that you can give them another parent node. This can be used to animate attachpoints. You can specify a NoCrash option per modelpart now, this way certain parts can be excluded from the crash box […]
Prepar3D v4 visibility conditions for scenery?
This evening I have been testing Prepar3D v4 a bit more and I have especially looked at using visibility conditions in scenery MDL files. Before these were not supported at all for MDL files placed through BGL. We had to use SimObject for them, as tools like SODE do. But with Prepar3D v4 things have […]
