February 11, 201412 yr Just wondering if anyone was aware of a payware or freeware program that does the same thing as Abacus FSrepaint? I've heard that FSrepaint wont open all models, and I'm not about to shell out $30 for software that doesn't work. I've been enjoying repainting Carenado's 1900 - but I'm going nuts constantly switching aircraft and reloading. thanks! i9 10850K, RTX3080, MSFS. My avsim uploads Myflightsim.to uploads
February 11, 201412 yr ModelConverterX. +1, that's what I use. You don't even need to edit aircraft.cfg, just make a new texture.XX folder, save your texture files in it (along with a texture.cfg if needed), and open the mdl, your texture will appear in the liveries drop-down. It even has a 'reload texture' button for when you make changes and re-save your texture, and you can adjust the lighting and move the doors and control surfaces. And it's free. Amazing piece of software. Barry Friedman
February 11, 201412 yr ModelConverterX. ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou. All this time struggling with reloading FSX. I've got the biggest grin you've ever seen! ThankyouThankyouThankyou Did I say thankyou? :biggrin: The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
February 11, 201412 yr save your texture files in it (along with a texture.cfg if needed), and open the mdl, Are you getting MCX to read the texture.cfg? It doesn't work for me. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
February 11, 201412 yr Are you getting MCX to read the texture.cfg? It doesn't work for me. I guess I just assumed it was, but actually it looks like it's still on Arno's wishlist. Sorry for the misinfo. Barry Friedman
February 11, 201412 yr That threw me for a bit. Copy the .mdl file into the texture folder you're working on then import. There's a drop down menu to select the type of file you want. Select FSX .MDL I can hardly believe this program is free! I'll nip back and see if he takes donations. The World is divided into two groups.

February 12, 201412 yr Author Great! I'm downloading it now - thanks so much! i9 10850K, RTX3080, MSFS. My avsim uploads Myflightsim.to uploads
February 12, 201412 yr Author ok, quick question if I may. I've imported a model and it's corresponding textures. When in night mode - everything looks fine. However in day mode - I'm getting strange textures where the landing and logo lights shine off the model. Any way to turn this off? thanks! i9 10850K, RTX3080, MSFS.

February 12, 201412 yr I don't know if there's a way to hide the lights, I guess they are added for 3D effects. Might want to task in the ModelConverterX forum at fsdeveloper.com. Copy the .mdl file into the texture folder you're working on then import. There's a drop down menu to select the type of file you want. Select FSX .MDL You can also put the mdl file into a "model" folder that sits next to the texture folders, just like in an airplane's folder. Saves copying the model if you are making multiple textures. MCX should automatically find all the adjacent texture folders and add them to the liveries drop-down. Barry Friedman
February 14, 201412 yr Author I asked on the home forum - looks like I will have to live with it - at least the textures are transparent! i9 10850K, RTX3080, MSFS. My avsim uploads Myflightsim.to uploads
February 15, 201412 yr Its a nice program and very suitable as a viewer. Unfortunately its not possible to " paint real time " with this program.In FSRepaint we can paint real time.I am not saying FSRepaint is a suitable painting-program for real time painting , but its ideal to survey a texture and determine whe the texture stops on one sheet and continues on the other. Its a shame the development of FSRepaint stopped.
