From 3DS Max to Gmax
Good evening

Some time ago I bought 3DS Max 2012. The first models for my scenery project are completed and I want to get them into FSX. Well, I know that it is not possible to bring the models directly from 3DS Max to FSX, but it is only possible with Gmax. My problem: The BFF-2007 converter has failed and I don't know now how I can convert the models for Gmax.
I hope you can help me.

Greetings

Lukas

FSX has its own SDK for 3ds max, not sure if it works for 2012 version of 3ds though.

However, you could use the Pandasoft DirectX Xporter to get the .X file and run that through your MakeMDL.

Oh, just download the free Prepar3D SDK and use the export module from it instead of the one that came with the FSX SDK...

Lockheed-Martin was kind enough to recompile the exporter to work with Max2012 and make it freely available to anyone.

Good day
Thank you for the quick help!

With the right version of 3DS Max, the SDK of Prepar3D works!

Greetings and a Happy New Year!
