Most current guide for importing 3D scenery objects (From Blender)?

Lift71721 · May 30, 2024, 2:41pm

Can anyone recommend the most current guide/tutorial for getting a Blender model into MSFS?

This is just for static models such as a small building, cargo boxes, luggage, signs, etc.

TIA

You can import MSFS .GLTF files (or, aircraft files and certain 3D models) into Blender using this tool:

Regarding basic 3D models, such as a Jetway, I believe those are locked behind an .BGL and cannot be imported. I’ll see if I can find anything or if someone else in the community knows.

Thanks - as noted, though, I’m not looking to import models into Blender - just the opposite… I want to make them in Blender and import into the SDK
cheers

Oh! I misread your question, lol

This tutorial here works:

Basically,

Create a ModelLib package
Export the blender model into that ModelLib folder using the Blender MSFS exporter.

Thanks - I’ve seen this video, but it really only shows installation and making a basic object in Blender. I can do that… I’m looking for guidance on setting up the folders for the SDK and exporting to them, and then importing to the model into the SDK to place it at an airport.

Do you know of any current resources / guides for the SDK steps?

FYI, here’s the error I’m getting.

cheers
