• 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.

Aces tools

Before I installed Prepar3d 3dsmax 2012 plugin, saw aces tools menu and I was thrilled because it finally worked. But my 3ds was not working, so I had to re-install it.

I re-installed it not, and installed aces tools with it. The aces tools menu is not there now.

If someone could help that would be GLORIOUS!
 
From the SDK:
Code: 
Install and run 3ds Max 7+.
Select Customize on the main menu. Following this the options vary slightly depending on which version of 3ds Max is being used.
Select Customize Paths/Configure Paths/Plug-ins in 3ds Max 7, Configure User Paths/3rd Party Plug-ins in 3ds Max 8, or Configure System Paths in 3ds Max 9, 2009, 2011 or 2012.
Select Add, and then browse to the Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\SDK\Environment Kit\Modeling SDK\3DSM7\Plugins folder if you are using 3ds Max version 7 or 8, or to the 3DSM9\Plugins folder if you are using version 9, 3DSM2009\Plugins if you are using 3ds Max 2009, 3DSM2011\Plugins if you are using 3ds Max 2011 or 3DSM2012\Plugins if you are using 3ds Max 2012.
Select Use-Path and OK, and this path will appear in the dialog.
It is now necessary to shutdown and restart 3ds Max.

Just make sure all of the paths are set up correctly. That should be all there is to it; as long as the paths are set up correctly it should work just fine. Cheers!

I did this, however when I go into customize user interface, then menu tab, I see Asecs Tools at the bottom under menus. I then dragged it over to the menu layout to the right, but it does not have anything under it when you extend it with the + sign.
