• 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 crash...

Just when I thought Gmax was starting to like me. I think I have gone well past a month since Gmax crashed on me.

Today, not so.... I saved, and saved and was about to save as the next one up, when for some reason, I closed out instead. I was about to type in the new build number up, but for some reason, I closed out instead, right in the middle of 'save as...'

What this does is crashes your present build. I tried opening up my last build, and nothing. Then, I go to open the one before that, and nothing!!!! 2 builds, lost....

I tried 'Merge' to rescue parts and work from a 'new' scene. This didnt work this time, with the screen menu for selecting parts to Merge, never appearing. I tried all I know, including rebooting Windows and Gmax.

I then checked the 3rd build back and Voila, that one at least worked, and I rebuilt the work I did back over again. It wasnt severe enough to go to Autobak files, (auto saves) but it really freaked me out. Its upsetting...


So, for you new guys, never worry about saving too many times. You never know when this will happen to you. Save, save, save save save, and SAVE!

Click to expand...

Why are you typing this in manually?
You can easily configure GMax to "autoincrement" your Saves, or...

...simply click on the + button to manually increment the Save.
