Command line conversion

ModelConverterX is primarily a tool with a graphical user interface, but did already have some command line arguments to load objects or apply batch conversions. These command arguments have now been modified to support easy conversion between formats from the command line as well. This can be useful if you want to integrate ModelConverterX somewhere […]

Error report file upload error

From within ModelConverterX and scenProc you can upload an error report directly to my bug tracker. There is an option to include the file that caused the crash as well.

This is the requirement that MSFS has for the textures. FSX and Prepar3D have the more strict requirement that the size should be […]
