• 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.

I am using P3D V4 SDK and I don't know if its compatible or not but I am also using GMAX FSX GAME PACK.

I am encountering problems such as I cant simply export anything to modelcovnerterx when I try to export it only has flight sim model, I dont have FSX just P3D V4 as well as the SDK.

Is there a proper way to install gmax for p3d v4 so it could automatically export with everything in the right place including the path settings for SDK too..

for information I am simply making a box and trying to export it to modelconverter x nothing extra

I believe the route from gmax to P3D 4 is a difficult one. First, from gmax you would have to export a mdl. For this you need to have the proper FSX SDK's installed. Then you can open the mdl in MCX and export as P3D 4.

This clearly is a troublesome and trouble-ridden process. As you are no further than a simple box yet, try the more direct route through Blender.

If I may ask you, do you use Blender?

Short answer, no. If you learned Blender you could use the toolset available to export directly to P3D v4.x but for complex reasons Gmax will never be able to export to anything newer than FSX. The other option is 3ds Max, but without a student license that’s ruinously expensive.
