• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

3D Max export problem-No option to export ".X" file

Hi there,

I am having an annoying problem. I am trying to get 3D Max 9 to export ".X" models to convert to .Mdl files for use in FSX. I was able to customize the "Plugins" path to direct 3D Max to the SDK Plugins. When I run 3D Max I can see the ACES TOOLS and ACES DOCUMENTATIONS on the top menu bar.

However, when I try to export the model I do not get the option to export a ".X" file. What did I do wrong? Do I need to direct the program to makeMDL?

Thanx in advance
 
yes, I tried that but the "Flightsim DirectX File (*.X)" format does not appear in the Export pull down. There are tons of other formats but not the one I need.

Did I do something wrong when I installed the gamepack? As I mentioned I can see the ACES TOOLS and ACES DOCUMENTATIONS on the top menu bar, so I thought that the installation is correct.
