• 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.

Gmax 3DSMAX Error

Hi, need some Help.

Installed Gmax > C:\Gmax

Starts with desktop shortcut fine.

Installed FSX Gameback > C:\Gmax\Gamepack

When I use "FSX_Gmax" shortcut (C:\Gmax\Gamepack\FSX_GmaxGamePack)

I get error "No plug-in directory was found:3DSMAX"

Where do I find 3DSMAX AND Where do I put it ?????????

Thanks In Advance,
 
You have to install gmax just that, not place the icon in the desktop, install de gamepack in the Gmax folders and is from gamepack from where you should fire up Gmax.and drag his icon to the desktop. sorry, would like to explain better.
 
The correct path for the Desktop Icon to work properly is:

C:\gmax\gamepacks\FSX_GmaxGamePack

From Windows Explorer, right-click on the Desktop Icon and SendTo the "Desktop as Shortcut".

Double-click on the new Desktop Icon to launch GMax in FSX Mode.
 
OK,

I moved the "FSX_Gmax" shortcut to the desktop.

I still get "No plug-in directory was found:3DSMAX" error when I use it.

???????
 
FSX SDK is installed in > C:\Microsoft Games

Question ???

Does it matter, Gmax is installed > c:\Gmax

Thanks,
 
Hi,

Putting GMax in the default location should be fine.

So you installed the SDK in the default location? If you don't do that, sometimes you have to run the configsdk tool after installing. You might want to give that a try.

Another thing to look at is that the shortcut normally uses an environment variable %GMAXLOC%. You might want to check if that one is defined correctly on your machine.
 
Thanks for reply Arno,

FSX_Gmax target string is,

%GMAXLOC%gmax.exe -i gamepacks\FSX_GMaxGamepack\gmax.cfg -p gamepacks\FSX_GMaxGamepack\plugin.cfg

Ran configsdk, Said Yes

Still get error

???????

Thanks Again,
