• 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.

FSX 3DS max plugins do not work with Max 9.0

Just a heads up - My 3DS Max 9.0 upgrade arrived yesterday and one of the first things I checked were the FS X Max 7 plugins. Sorry to say they do not work with the new version of Max. Apparently with now both 32 & 64 bit versions of Max the 3ds Max SDK has been rewritten thus all plugins will have to be re-compiled for the new version.

I thought I'd mention this as I occasionaly see guys in various FS related forums talking of moving from gmax to the full version of 3DS Max. We won't be able to use Max 9.0 for FS until ACES update the exporter plugins for that version and make them available.

Hi there - thanks for the report regarding Max 9.0 - Max 8.0 works just fine for me. ;)

Best,

Same here. The plugins work fine in MAX8. Now all we need do is wait for the SDK update hopefully with more documentation so we have a clue how to use em.
