chokko Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 so if we use the latest modelviewer2 from link above, and install it somewhere else... 1) how do we get the livery plugin aware of available liveries (i.e. both listboxes are empty) ? 2) is it possible to set the default model/livery to load via autoexec.cfg / autoexec.lua? i wasnt successful getting it to load anything from: C:\Users\<my-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg using for example... LoadModel("CoreMods/aircraft/FA-18C/Shapes/fa-18c.lods") LoadLivery("FA-18C_hornet","Fictional UK Air Force") [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heclak Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Are there any plans to bring back the export space options in the exporter for 3ds max 2017? This would be extremely useful to not need to redo all the animations.

heclak Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Is it possible to get a copy of an older version of the standalone modelviewer which supports opening edmv8 files? The one that ships with the previous version of the openbeta is still capable of loading v8 edms. Since the update of DCS 2.5.5 drops support for v8 files, this older version of modelviewer would be extremely useful to view these older files for archive and recreation purposes. The alternative is to maintain an entire install of an older copy of dcs just for the modelviewer app, which is a huge waste of drive space. I hope ED can kindly consider fulfilling this request. Thank you.

The versions that ship with the main Sim isn’t updated that frequently. So we’ll need something that much older from the FTP server Twitch | Viggen ELINT App | Community A-4E-C Module | Community A4-E Guide | Throttle detents for Hornet/Viggen/F-15C and other 3D printed parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_mu110_ Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Has anyone else been playing around with some of the new features they've added to the modelviewer in this latest patch? They've added a dedicated button for reloading the textures as well as some interesting new stuff in the tools panel related to the upcoming carrier DLC. Have people come across any other interesting additions? Check out my skins and mods on the User Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk Hi, it's only if you activate the parameter "2-sided" and use "transparent_self_ilum" or "old_tree" Material. I think it's a bug. Greetings...

joey45 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Double check in the scenes folder that it is exported. Make sure you have textures on the model and they are made cool.
