• 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.

Can someone who uses this software please confirm that it works without issue with all the FSX exporters?

If you're using Windows 7 x64 that's even better.

I know I've asked similar Q's here before but would really appreciate a first hand user confirmation from someone who actually uses it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

It works perfectly with the FSX exporter!

There is no "official" exporter for FS9 though. One must use Pandasoft X porter, and live with the fact that you'll never be able to use custom animations, since there's no way to read the makemdl.parts.xml file.
 
Thanks again Bill!

Only concerned with FSX, but interesting to hear about FS9 anyway.

Cheers for the quick reply, much appreciated.

No problem. I used Max8 for many years now, and began using Max9 about six months ago.
 
Just to be 100% clear I mean Max 2008, not Max 8.

(Max 2008 came after Max 9)

Well, yes I know that... Nonetheless, the FSX SDK will work with:

Max7, Max8, Max9 and Max2008.

Max2008 is the last version that is "backwards compatible" with Max9, so you would use the ..\3DSM9 version of the SDK tools.
 
afaik only the 32-bit version of Max 2008 works with the FSX exporter, but I may be wrong here?
 
@hairyspin

Yup, that would be what I imagine, same as with Max 9, i.e. both 64-bit and 32-bit versions can be installed simultaneously but when it comes to the tools and exporting only the 32-bit software will work.

Thanks for all the info guys.
 
That is quite correct, because the export .dle used was compiled as a 32bit .dll file... ;)
