as one would otherwise have when those same objects are rendered in FSX.ĪFAIK, in this scenario, you are one of the first "explorers" of this type of mixed FSX / P3Dv4.x MDL-based rendering for objects with overlapping "bounding boxes" that co-exist in the same 3D space within the FS world.

Thus, it is not possible to predict whether one may achieve a similar rendering of FSX MDL-based 3D objects placed via FSDT "Addon Manager" in P3Dv4.x. It is possible that when (2) FSX and/or (P3D) 3D MDL-based objects with overlapping "bounding boxes" co-exist in the same 3D space within the FS world, either (1)- or both- of those objects 'may' fail to render in FS at run time.Īnother issue is that FSDT KDFW is not explicitly stated by the developer to be 'compatible' with P3Dv4.x: This might potentially also compel uncertainty as to how the FS rendering engine will respond when (2) FSX and/or (P3D) 3D MDL-based objects with overlapping "bounding boxes" co-exist in the same 3D space within the FS world. Part of the reason that I considered it "impractical" to allocate what seemed very likely to be a vast amount of time and effort required to 'successfully' modify a FSDT airport such as KDFW (which uses numerous FSX 3D MDL-based objects placed via a proprietary module) using your own additional FSX 3D objects placed via BGLComp-XML-type BGL methods, was the uncertainty as to how the FSDT "Addon Manager" proprietary module actually works to implment "conditional display". I'm pleased to see how your troubleshooting skills have progressed, and that you are more often moving ahead with exploring your options with various FS utilities when you encounter new challenges.
