    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

ModelConverterX material properties

I’ve cracked out the latest copy of Arno’s great tool - I find it great for making small edits like tweaking the colour of a canopy to match the one from another model I like better. What I’ve done so far is open two sessions of MCX. I select Materials, and the canopy from model A in one session and select the canopy from model A in a second session, and then manually copy the settings from A to B.

So my question is, is there a way to copy ALL the attributes of a particular object in one move, And then paste/apply them to that second model, rather than going line by line?

Thx,

dl.
 
Why yes indeed. In the Material Editor check out the Material Template Editor right next to the 'Apply' button. Open the Template Editor, create a new template, give it a telling name, pick one of the current materials from the list, exit. Next time you open MCX that template will be selectable and you can apply it to your other model. Neat!

Thanks - in the end, I decided to make entry by entry edits just to make sure. But this will come in handy when making more global edits to a model.

thanks!
