I’ve just started building addon scenery with FSX’s Object Placement Tool. I’m frustrated with the aircraft, or lack thereof, available for parking around my local airport. The only ones that work are a few antiques in the “gen” category. None of the many, more current models in the “prop” category will work. Any suggestions?
Hi,
You probably best ask a question like this on the FSDeveloper forum. In general if you pick the objects from an active object library they should work. The default libraries contain multiple objects.
The OPT tool is not the most user friendly either. So using a tool like WhisPlacer or Instant Scenery might be easier.
Arno
Hi! I used to work with ModelConverter X but now i can’t, i dont know if is missing something to install, because my ModelConverter X stoped to import objects it used to import and convert normally, please i want you to help me, thank you regards.
Do you get any error message or so?
tengo problemas con FXEditor , el programa se abre pero en el lado sale una equis roja y no puedo visualizar nada, abre este link para que veas lo que me sale ,por favor ayúdame juan111fotos@hotmail.com

Hi,
I’m sorry I can’t understand your question, but looking at the image it seems there is a problem with OpenGL on your computer. FXEditor requires at least OpenGL 2.0 support. So you better check what your graphics drivers support.
Hi Arno,
So happy I found a support button on your site. 🙂
I hope all scenery creators appreciate how lucky we are to have people like you creating these great utilities.
Many thanks.
Hi there; I downloaded Model Converter X recently but I’m having an export problem. First, I build my model in SketchUp. I export that model to a .dae (COLLADA) file. Then I import it into Model Converter X. It shows up just how it should. Then I export to an FSX .bgl file, but it comes up with many different error messages about the compiling phase. I asked about it on all the FSX forums sites, but to no avail. Any help suggestions? Thanks in advance
Hi,
Which errors do you get? Else post them on FSDeveloper and you’ll get help.
Hi, I hope You could help me, I downloaded Model Converter X and prepar 3d SDK 1.4 to be able to use Your utilities with FSX STEAM EDITION, but after I convert the collada file (.dae) I only get the texture folder with the .dds textures but the scenery file is empty. could You Help what is that I’m doing wrong?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
Hi,
It might be easier to post support questions on the forum:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/modelconverterx.87/
But when exporting goes wrong, the best place to start is check the event log. There is most likely an error or warning there.
Arno
I’d like to suggest to add an option for saving states on the software.
I mean, it always runs out of memory and crashes. I have 24gb of ram and it does crash every time I try selecting and moving a few animations on the animation editor.
great tool, thanks
What kind of models are you processing then? On my machine it hardly ever runs out of memory.
You can try to disable the undo function in the options, that saves memory.
Arno
Hi Arno , I try to convert and export scenery from a FS9 bgl to a FSX bgl , MCX generates a bgl without warnings and errors , but it do not appear on FSX or P3D . The xml generated and save , have not any coordinates . What is missing ?
Thank you .
Hi,
It could be that the BGL is just a library and therefore has no coordinates in there? In that case another BGL file might contain the placement information.
Arno
The bgl file is a bgl Fs9 placed using ObplacerXml and is a compiled Gmax object . This object shows on scenery FSX . After MCX compilation to bgl FSX it do not shows on FSX anymore . All similar Gmax objects converted shows the same problem .
This situation is not true at friend’s PC using the same objects , and is a mystery for us .
This PC : 3.16 Ghz dual core , 4 GB memory , windows XP

I’m working in a terrain photo-real Scenery and I would like to add lights effects as I faind in effects directory in FSX (.fx files light’s effects for example). Só can you inform what kind of tool I shoyuld use to make it? Many thanks.
Arno,
This has probably been asked and answered many times by now, but I can’t seem to locate any info about it. I’m creating a model for FSX, P3D and I will use ModelConverterX to import to FSX. Is there a way to make the model secure, as in, nobody can rip it off? I know locks were only made to keep honest people honest but your tool makes it really easy to knock off someone’s hard work.
Thanks,
Rick
Hi Rick,
Yes, this has been asked sometimes. And in the past I have tried to add some features to ModelConverterX to try to detect genuine usage versus stealing. But that is almost impossible to do and with those restrictions build in a lot of developers complaint that they couldn’t do their normal genuine work anymore.
So the answer is no, this can’t be done. The FSX and P3D engine also don’t have build in way to encrypt the content. That’s what would be needed to really get something like this working.

Hello Arno
Great tool !
1. Is the aircraft.cfg file taken for data as well ?
2. We can make visible the CFG points (menu button). Can we edit them as well inside ModelConverterX ? Meaning of differnt colors are = ?
Sorry could not find inside documentation an answer.
Best regards
Peter
In the development release you can. There is an editor to modify the file and the preview is updated automatically.
Sorry the manual is still for version 1.3 and lacks the new features.

I have error when compiling files .mdl and .bgl for P3Dv4 format.
Produces no files at all…
I don’t understand what the problem is -all the way up to SDK is spelled correctly in the settings…….but the program writes an error about Microsoft Flight Simulator XtoMDL when I compile files for P3Dv4 .mdl and .bgl
What could be the problem?Thank you.

Hi,
Is there a way to have decimal points instead of decimal commas on my toc file resulting from AF FS2 cultivation from scenproc?

Thanks! Will that be on a future update?
Yes, if you download the latest release now it’s fixed.
Hallo,

Hello!
I created a ground poly in gmax and exported it as a MdL file. When I import that file in Mcx under Wizard and then Ground Polygon Wizard I hit convert and after a while an error shows up ( all paths are set correctly )
,,Unhandled exception has occurred in your Application.”
What’s the problem?
Thank you,
Norvin.
Hi, I don’t know. Do you get more information with the error, like a stack trace?
Hello Arno
If I install older FSX Airports (example Lugano LSZA) into P3D V4 the ramp and Taxiway will be not shown properly. They are green instead of concret ground. I am not familiar with scenery design.
In the LSZA scenery Folder is a file named ground.bgl. Probably this contains the ramp etc. I tried to recompile using Jon Masterons tool
Bglcomp but this tool can not recompile because it says that this file is not compiled with Bglcomp.
Can you probably offer me a way how to fix such Airport ground Problems to make it suitable for P3D V4 ? I can send you the .bgl from LSZA.
Many thanks in advance
Regards Roger
Might be they are older bgl format not supported anymore. Can you try to load the file in MCX?

Did you restart MCX after changing the setting?
Thanks for the great tool. It makes flight simulation development accessible to everyone! Currently developing a freeware version of Brussels.
Hello Arno,
your tool “ModelConverterX” is so very nice and useful. I use very often for my tasks. I use it for the most on my Windows10 OS. Lately I tried to install too under Ubuntu Studio 16.04 x86_64 too, but the Wine version I’ve installed on Linux miss Microsoft Visual C++ 2015. Tried to use winetricks, and it miss exactly that MV C++ 2015. I saw some workaround out there, but still no luck. Do you have a real procedure that make it possible to run ModelConverteX into Ubuntu/Debian? Have you ever thought to make a .deb package?
Hi, since FS only runs under windows it is designed for windows only. I’m using .NET, so with mono it should run, except for some third party libraries.
Thanks for your aplication Arno!
still strugling, but getting there! 😉
Bonjour Arno,
Merci for ScenProg it’s a great tool. Since 2 days I tear my hair with ScenProg !
I opened a blog for AFS2 15 days ago. I will post the problem I have with ScenProg on my blog. I started to do the whole of France for AFS2.
http://simulationvolavenir.cd91.eu/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=36
I can not explain the problem here because I need to show you images to help you understand my problem.
I propose you to come on the blog-forum, on the guest space. I will post a detailed message of the problem, so you can answer me without having to register on the blog. You’ll just put your name Arno.
the advantage of this exchange on the forum is that the answer to the problem, can thus be used for other users of scenProg.
Thank you.
Christy
Hi, may I suggest you post your question on the scenproc support forum? https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/scenproc.131/
Merci .
Good morning Arno.
I create airports for FSX and I have a problem with transparencies in the Model Converter X 1.3 version. When I apply the texture on the object in the simulation I see a gray box that should be transparent. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the reply.
Did you use the set default transparent material template to make sure all material settings are OK for transparency? Else FSX will not show it.
P.S. Version 1.3 is quite old, you better use the development release.
I cannot open cfg files even though there was a tutorial of how to edit aircraft functions on youtube in 2015! I really need that feature can you please fix the problem! much appreciated
How do you try to open the cfg file?
I’m trying to export a .bgl file with imported object but I always get an error concerning xmlwriter. Same error in librarycreatorxml.
“Could not find a part of the path ‘F:\librarycreatorxml_latest_development_release\Fsx-pc\j\FSX-Airports\fsx_eham_rs\FSX_eham_rs\unnamed.xml’.”
It does however write the .mdl files.
Any ideas?
Which tool is this? MCX or Library Creator XML?
I just want to thank you for all the work you have done for the simmers community. I use your tools since FS2004, and it helps me again to convert sceneries from fsx to P3D. You continue to improve your tools, and i have appreciated the improvements made to MCX in the last days.
I hope that your tools may be adapted to the new FS2020 to help us to build the local airports that will not be in the official version.
Many many thanks !
Hi! Thanks for making ModelConverterX. For me it is the best and most comprehensive utility for our virtual flight environment. I have had some difficulties with creating MDL object libraries when compiling and placing them in scenarios. The XML compiles perfectly but the objects do not appear, etc. I would like to have a Modelconverterx Assistant that will take a list of MDL objects and create the corresponding BGLs located on the stage. Of course taking the coordinates entered in some file, or from the same pleasure XML decompiled previously. At least for me, a batch conversion and location utility would be great. Thank you thousands and have health and life!
Andrew
Dear MDLX Team
I have 3 conversion questions and hope to get your precious advise
1.) Flicker in VC
On some planes FS2004/MDL8–>P3D/PV20MDLH I get a flicker in VC- attached you can see from the aeroworx B200.
If I delete the $panel layers they are usually gone–>but then no more gauges
2.)Animation anomality
All works relatively well.But if you for example turn right- full- aileron will still work, but visibly flicker and move to neutral.left side turn will not have that effect
Same Rudder or elevator
3.)Panle background transparency
What do I alter to get the Panel bitmap part, exceeding the cockpit transparent
Many thanhs in advance for help
Best regards
Roland
Could send example pictures for 1.) and 3.) too
It’s probably easier to post your questions on the fsdeveloper forum.
Which I did

I have recently downloaded MCX and tried to convert sketchup model for XPLANE I have 3 texture 512×512, 256x 512, 64×64 instead of combining it into 1 texture MCX make 4 texture !!!!. Can anyone please help me I am stuck now, I was very excited when I found this tool, I have also donated
Hi,
How textures are combined also depends on their mapping. For example if the texture is tiled, combining it in one sheet is not simply a matter to putting them in one sheet. But without seeing the model it is hard to see what is going on. Maybe you can post your question on the MCX forum on FSDeveloper.com? It’s easier to discuss things there than here in blog comments.
Hello. Would anyone know if they will be making a Airprot scenery for KIWA for Mesa Gateway Airprot for p3d v 5? I know there is one out for fsx and p3d. I mean like a real detailed one like a good real one. I think people would buy it. Just wondering.

Its Last Log
Hi,
The assimp.dll file should be in a subfolder x86 or x64, f you have it in the MCX root folder I think something went wrong when you extracted the ZIP file. You now probably have the 32 and 64 bit version mixed, so that the wrong one is loaded. I would suggest that you install MCX again and make sure you keep the folder structure that is in the ZIP file.

La ulltima version del MCX solo me visualiza la textura bump o normal si activo la propiedad de “Is PBR Material” .true.
Hi,
Let me check. I did load a standard FSX model here and I am indeed not 100% sure the bump map is shown correctly.
Arno-
Just a real quick note. I’m just a hobbyist, a radio announcer by profession. My FSX was laying dormant on my computer for years, and I started playing with it a year or so ago, but when I discovered you could add aircraft (free or otherwise) and get into the nuts and bolts of it, a whole new world was opened to me. Now I’m not an aeronautical engineer and learning the lingo, xml, textures, etc., has been extremely challenging for me, but I’m slowly learning. I still get lost in the language and syntax, but I’m learning. I’m not a developer in the technical sense of the word, but I DO want to configure FSX to do what I want it to do for my personal enjoyment. Your videos and this website and wonderful tools have been such an enormous help, particularly to a guy who really has to look at this stuff 2 or 3 times to get it. And a LOT of mistakes…but I love this website! Just wanted to share. Mark
Thank you for this Swiss-Knife-Software. It saved me a lot of time to regenerate sources of my 20 year old FS2004-scenery-stuff. The objects will get a new life in a train simulator!
I have to change model parts in blender. When I import that model to mcx all animations are gone. How I should keep them?
I tried to export animations (anim.exporter) I got error which says could not locate anim_0…
I’m using P3D v5
Hi, how are you loading the model from Blender into MCX? Which format are you importing from?
Using blender p3d plugin and export my model with that. File is .x and MDL.
If I load default plane like mooney bravo to mcx and export that model to my desktop in .dae. I import that to blender and making changes to wing. When I ready I create guid, friendlyname. Then I export that from blender to x and mdl file.
Then I load it from blender and animations aren’t there anymore.
Second problem, when I change modelxml text in mcx and close that window. Then I open it again and my text aren’t saved.
MCX can not export the animations to a format like DAE, so that means they are never loaded in. Blender and if you export the model again there will be no animations there.
The changes in the modeldef.xml are stored when you export to mdl again. On import of the mdl they are read from the mdl file.
Which format will save/export animations?
No that Blender can import. They are only saved to X file or MDL files. This is partly on purpose to prevent people from pirating the work of others.
Hello
I identified that the MCX is not supporting the windshield material, when I pass the gltf through the MCX in order to create the LODS, it eliminates the material, would it be possible to include this material in the MCX?
Hi,
Are you using the latest development reelase of MCX? The WindShield material should be supported. If you think it is lost on import, can you provide me a sample model that has issues.
Arno
Hello Arno!
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I had a lot of work!!
the same file is attached, one saved by blender and the windshield is working, the other after converting by MCX the function disappears!!
I identified another problem in version 1.51 when converting the textures, the MCX is not making them 4×4 and it keeps the original dimensions of the texture!
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1k4Ud9pG7pxbTR3c0qb4Qf85l8GKs6o_y?usp=sharing
Thanks, I’ll have a look at the file (sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment).
MCX does never automatically make textures multiples of 4, that is something you need to do manually. The only exception is when writing as MSFS package with the textures included.
Also, MCX 1.5 is not the latest version, for best MSFS support use version 1.6, the development release.
Hello guy
Dude, everything is perfect, just one request:
Would it be possible to put the file size in MATERIAL EDITOR/TEXTURE?
today we have “Name – Dimension – Format”
look like this “Name – Size – Dimension – Format”
As always, thank you very much for your time in providing us with this tool!
Hi there, I am using MCX, current vers 23.09.2023, as a tool to create complexe objects from the scratch for my FSX simulator.
– Editing Vertices….
How to change a texture A to B from one (or one group) of many polygons within ONE ModelPart? For me it is not possible to cancel single or even grouped vertices, although the editor allows to delete lines. As a workaround I use the “shout-out-method” (e.g. define identical coordinates 1,1,1 from vertices to be deleted) and the chosen vertices disappear after saving as expected, because MCX recognizes and elliminates these vertices due to an unacceptable geometry. Then I separately define the missing model part with texture B and merge. This vertex deletion method sounds “unusual”. I´m aware that a vertice deletion from further bounded polygons will destroy adjacent polygons – to be checked at first and avoided. Any better method available?
Wulf
Hi,
MCX has no way to alter the texture on certain polygons within a model part. The material and texture is set for the entire part.
There is also no way to delete vertices in the vertex editor. The way you found where they are merged on export might do the trick, but it was never intended to be able to remove vertices in that editor.
thanks for your reply,
another finding, MCX from 23.09.2023:
– Move object:
If I open the Vertex Editor in the Hierarchy Editor at first from any ModelPart and MOVE using the “transform object”-menu, then the coordinates in the still opened Vertex Editor will be automatically changed but into the opposite direction.
A new opened Vertex Editor table shows the right coordinates. I recommend to show correct values already in the still opened Vertex Editor table.
– Rotate, Scale object:
The opened Vertex Editor shows before and after transformation always identical and correct values.
Wulf
Ok,I’ll check what is going on there.
good day!!
I want to make a query, I am trying to open an fs9 model in MCX but when I try to import it, an error appears and the model does not open. Could someone tell me what could be happening?
thank you
What is the error you get?
