• 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.

P3D v4 3D max version

Keep in mind that P3D v5 is coming out this month. You might want to wait for that SDK and see what it is compatible with.
 
Max 2018 is working fine here, but it may not be available now.
 
Hmmm, no it hasn't had Mental Ray (news to me...) since version 2018, but I believe it has another render engine. You might have to do some relearning if you're going to render things in Max. Not that many FS developers use much of the MR capability of earlier versions since P3D doesn't use Max materials as such; Substance Painter and others are gaining more users afaik.
