When an I3d file goes to pot

[Deleted]

Guys I have been working on converting the old Steiger Tiger 450 II for a while and got close to completing it and found an issue that I have now confirmed in all Steiger mods I can find. They were all based on the Raba Steiger from what I can tell, but what I have found I think it's an error that can never be fixed. I have pulled every copy I can find and this issue is in all of them, even the Steiger pack with 5 different versions all come from the same bad Traktor250.i3d file.

What do you make of this. See the picture. 




I had one mod originally show around 55,000 in length but don't remember the total number of lines, but now all of them show the samething, 15 million in length and around 244,000 lines. The shapes all show this which look a little like GPS coords. Problem is, once you start converting it fixing some of the old XML code and bringing up to FS15 standards, it corrupts the i3d file and that's it.

I'm thinking there is no way to save the Steiger, am I right?

Those lines are supposed to be there last I checked, what's the error?

I've only seen those lines in the Steiger that I can remember, I'll work on it again and do a print screen. I got the JD 9770 STS from FS13 in and working, My new project ;-)

I wouldn't worry about those lines. The model was probably built in sketchup so there are a lot of tiny pieces with many polies which will make your shapes section very long.

Other mods aren't typically built in Sketchup, so they'll have fewer pieces that are as a whole lower poly.
