Converted Model operates 180 Degrees in Reverse - Help Need

[av8trkevin]

G'day.


I have converted a few ground models (from the CalClassic scenery library for FSX) to create some interesting AI sessions with the models.



But, though I have successfully converted and tested the models (I always create drivable versions to make sure they display etc), when I advance the throttle, the model drives backwards -- and -- the tail lights are displaying on the front of the model. Thus I assume that the vehicle is 180 degrees out.



Is there a tool to edit and change this or is there something I can do in the config perhaps (though I didn't see any reference that might prove useful).



Thank you in advance.

Hi Kevin,

By "ground models" I assume you mean the cars and other vehicles? What do you use for your conversion tool? If it is ModelConverterX, you can use the Transform Object/Rotate button and rotate the model 180 degrees in Heading.

If you are using a program like GMAX, there are similar commands.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Tom.

I'm looking for that button (yes, I'm using ModelConverter). Can you clue me in one where it is located in the tool?

Thank you

BTW, Tom Constantine (Overshoe) from Maine said to tell you hello and long-time no chat!

Found the button!


Gonna try and test things now.

Thank you

Hi,

Glad to help, and I say hello too.

Thank you, Tom! That was the solution I needed.

I now have some interesting new AI cars.
