SceneryDesign.org Today I got the message that I have received the MVP award again, so I will be MVP for another year. Of course it is a nice reward for the community work done in the previous year, but still it feels a bit weird since the ACES team has been dissolved. So I guess for […]
FSX material settings
Over the last days I have been working on extending the material settings supported by ModelConverterX. I have now come to the point that all of the specific settings that you can make with a FlightSimX material can be edited with ModelConverterX as welll. If you download the latest development build you can try it […]
QGIS
Until now I was mainly using fGIS when I wanted to view or edit shapefiles, but since a year or two the updates to fGIS are no longer publicly available due to some license issue. Last week I bought an interesting book about opensource GIS and it brought the QGIS application to my attention again. […]
Animations with more than 1024 frames
It is about three years ago that I figured out how to make animations with more than 1024 frames for FS2004. But until now the only explanation other developers had on how this works was this quick forum post I made. I admit it is a bit late, but I have finally finished the tutorial […]
Nick has a question…
Nick is at the MVP summit and has a question about the tools for FSX, see his blog post. I would encourage everybody to share his thoughts on this one.

One of the new features I have started working on since the release of ModelConverterX 1.0 is adding support for the Wavefront OBJ format. One of the reasons for this is that we use it at work for some files and I would like to try the LOD Creator functionality on those. But I think […]
FSDeveloper not reachable
At the moment the FSDeveloper site seems not reachable. I have asked the webhost to look at this problem, so hopefully the site is up again soon. EDIT: By now the problem is solved and the site is up and running again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
ModelConverterX 1.0 release
I don’t want to repeat myself here again, so I will just point at this forum thread where I explain all details of the ModelConverterX 1.0 release.
We almost got a release candidate
I almost finished the release candidate for ModelConverterX 1.0. I have decided to stop trying to make the LOD Creator more complex (and hopefully better) for the moment. There are some mathematical challanges in that, which I will take on again later. But compared to version 0.55 so many things have been improved already now […]
Time for an update
It has been a while since I wrote on this blog, other things kept me a bit too busy lately. So it is time for an update! I am still working on the next release of ModelConverterX. I had hoped to have the version 1.0 release ready by now, but the last few bits seem […]
