    Hi, I appreciate the videos, but you often save things to unexplained places and go just a tad too fast to follow.
    Where are you saving your textures to from the mdlconverterX and how do you use the fspackagetool?

      The concept should still be the same.Everything is in the same place.Make sure to Apply the MSFS filter when you open the material editor so it only shows you MSFS options

    well... we have to GUESS the "latest version" of Convert X is NOT the latest , and have to take it from another page with NO version number.
    PLEASE be more precise. Thank you. Please implement version numbers in files.

      sketchup should have the dae as an export option by default.I know sketchup 2017 has it. if not you can search for the obj exporter plugin instead and export as an obj and then import it into model converter X as a wavefront obj

    Hello!! brother, I hope you are well! I have a question for you, I have followed all your steps and it really works those of the sketchup 3D objects and converting them into the modelconverter x and I even managed to make it appear in the simulator, what I can't do is make it stay in the simulator, After I close everything to start enjoying the scenery disappears since I close the work windows! Could you help me with that part please !! Blessings

    hello thank you for your tutorial, but I have a problem I see that you have the developer version of ModelConverterX. I managed to open my dae file without problem with the stable version which does not have the functions for mfs2020, but impossible with the developer version I have these two errors: "ModelConverterX Warning Error while loading modeldef.xml file" and "Error importing file : Unable to open file "E: \ mfs2020 project \ SimpleScenery \ PackageSources \ modelLib \ bulding \ Metz + Cathedral + finished.dae".

      one thing ill suggest trying it renaming your file witout the + sign .Not sure if that will work. If not you can download an .obj exporter for sketchup here and then try exporting as obj and importing that into MCX instead sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=OBJexporter
      You need to create an account there tho but its free

    Hey man! I've tried everything what you did exactly in this video, but for some reason Flight Simulator 2020 won't recognize my building. Keep in mind when I compiled it there weren't any errors EXCEPT for business data and creator name missing. Here's the console: media.discordapp.net/attachments/688905257257795594/760879321400475688/unknown.png
    But keep in mind, there weren't any errors FOR the model itself.
    I could send you the files if you want, and/or the 3D model, but I guess that's not necessary.
    EDIT: Got it fixed. Check replies
