Re: MSFS SDK
Yep. Although I can't get the model from Max into Blender with the animations intact at the moment, and obviously I haven't looked at materials yet. Oh, and it's flying backwards!

Re: MSFS SDK
But certainly far enough to make many people happy. Your Rapide has become part of the flight sim furniture, so I am delighted at the prospect of flying it in MSFS. Thanks Dave.

Re: MSFS SDK
The Rapide was always my "test" model for new stuff. Hopefully I'll get the animations and materials sorted soon.
Been fiddling about this evening & now I can get it to display in sim at all! Not sure what I've done, probably a config gone awry somehwhere.

Re: MSFS SDK
What we could really do with is a tool to display the model using the SIM without it being in the SIM. Its an absolute pain in the arse. That AI ship I was playing with the other day is actually listed as an object in the Dev mode object explorer, but can I see it, can I hell. I'm pretty sure its wrong anyway, I think the export from MCX as a Wavefront Object does something with the axis.
I see someone else has put another tutorial up on FSD so going to have a look at that now.

Hi Ben
What file format are you trying to view ?
I have deep exploration 6.5 that i use for most file types

Re: MSFS SDK
It’s those new gltf files, but with the MSFS extensions. I can view it in the built in Windows 10 3D object viewer, but so far haven’t managed it in the Sim. I’m working through a scenery tutorial that one of the guys over at FSDeveloper has done and I’ve managed to get a basic runway down. Later on in the tutorial there is information on adding Objects so hoping that I can make some progress there.
Blender seems to like importing the Collada models I did in SketchUp years ago, so I’ll start with those. They’re not really good enough, but they’re better than the defaults, and if I can get them to the right locations in the sim, I’ll be happy with that. The built in Terraforming options in the Dev tools look really useful.
I’ve started having a play... nothing more than that, with Blender and have made a boat shape... like a 5 year old would do. I always struggled with textures in GMax and FSDS, I could never get my head around it no matter how many time you and DG explained it to me, but with SketchUp it was easy. I’m hoping with these Blender tutorials the penny finally drops.

Re: MSFS SDK
iv'e not had a proper look yet
almost got my Unrecognised by M$ FS2020 "M$ Sidewinder2" working as it did in FSX P3d now

Re: MSFS SDK
If it’s any consolation mate, I unplugged my sidewinder because I couldn’t figure it out in the alpha, plugged in the x52 and it still didn’t work. After days of I managed to get the main axis defined and even managed to sort slew mode last night.... although it doesn’t work when you enable developer mode. Gary at UK2000 has just told me I need to hold down control and use the mouse.
The mouse should be more accurate I guess, but so much is trial and error.

Re: MSFS SDK
Yes, it took me over an hour to get my idewinder working.
i am still figuring out how to get a top-down view and being able to slew with thr joystick.
