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.

Look the Wiki for the article on installing the SDK.
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Tools
When that's properly done, read the SDK for how to install the FSX Gamepack into gmax and how to run it - see Using Modelling Tools
It's pretty simple, but nothing will run properly unless done by the book.

ok thanks all for what you told me it was all pretty good .
and i know my mistake now.
but i used to make the canopy in 3d max like this tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoGQPJTfTEE&feature=related
but now i cant make this in gmax because exporting there means only to fsx game so does anyone know how to make this now. thanks for your help.

no this is only one part of the whole tutorial the rest you can watch at youtube and i dont think it is bad, i didnt learn 3ds max but im making my own planes now from this tutorial but this version is not good because of the voice is not moving with the picture you should look for a better one in youtube they are very good........

Hey Wael,
He does give you a glimpse of how it is all done. If you continuously halt/pause the YouTube movie, you can see what buttons he is pushing to get where he is going. Making notes as he does this, pausing alot, will show you much of how he does this.
One odd thing he is doing in this tutorial is exporting his canopy and then the fuselage to a custom 'own' folder, then importing it back again with 'merge' (sort of like import procedure). I havent heard of that and it seemed redunent to me.
Instead, what he could do is 'Edit/Clone' the fuselage and name it Canopy. Then Edit/Clone again and name that one Fuselage, then rename the older fuselage 'original Fuselage.' Next, I would cut the 'canopy' from the 'canopy' fuselage, and the fuselage from the new fuselage part using Boolean.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!! In my years of doing these things, I found that Boolean creates a zillion little 'extra' Vertices... If I use a template 'line' and I cut the edge manually using Editable Poly mode; Edge/Create and Edge/Divide, and delete unwanted edges, and add in Vertices into the middle of Polygons (for curves) using Editable Mesh mode and 'Polygon/Divide' (to add Vertices), then back to Editable Poly mode; 'Edge/Delete' and Edge/Create to form the new lines (curves, etc), I then can create a new cut line for a nice canopy, precisely, without dealing with the unstability factors of Boolean, and 'no' (none whatsoever) extra Vertices...
