• 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.

Hey guys,

Very quick question, does the above work ok? It's my understanding that the FSX Max scripts/export tools were made for Max 9 x32 (so don't work properly with x64).

I know that having both x64 and x32 Max 9 installs works in Vista, is that still the case with Win 7?

Also can the FSX tools be made to work with future versions of Max?

Sorry if I missed the answer eleswhere on the forums, found similar Q's but not this exact one.

Cheers.

when a 64 win7, runs a 32 app it reverts to 32 bit emulation mode...to do justice to a 64 o/s you need 64 bit apps....the memory thing is a markering ploy.so any 32 bit app should run fine on 64 win7....
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Glad to hear the good news.

'Also can the FSX tools be made to work with future versions of Max?' - I actually meant 'more recent/current versions.'

'Felix here is 'possibly' working on a version that will work with Max 2010'. Excellent, fingers crossed. Thanks for the update.


Finally, does anyone have the FSX tools working fine with Max 9 x64?

Cheers again, really appreciate the info.
 
Just to check again, it's not possible to get the FSX tools working with 3dsmax v9 x64 right?

If you want to use the 64-bit version you'll need to have the 32-bit version also where the FSX tools will be installed to, correct?

Cheers.

No, it's not possible.

Err...no, you just get the 32bit version and "install" (just a matter of linking actually) the tools to that one.
