• 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.

Simply question: doesn't work. I've created a simply cube, run attachScript, choosed FX folder of FS9, placed some kind of smoke, than exported the model (SDK 2002). In FS9 just appear the cube and no effect was shown. There's no exclude area, just a flat... :banghead:
 
The attachscript only works with the Fs2004 gamepack, not with the Fs2002 gamepack. So you need to use the Fs2004 MakeMDL.

OMG! I'm a fool! :banghead:
Hey Arno, I've another question: I've installed SDK 2002 because I need it for place object with layer tecnique, so do you know if is possible to use even the sdk2004? I've tryied but with some errors...
However how can I attach fx using sdk2002? Must I install the next version?
 
Hi,

I would say only use the Fs2002 gamepack if you want to create ground polygons. For all other parts of your scenery, just use the latest (Fs2004) gamepack. The tweaks you need to make for the ground polygons, make it impossible to mix other scenery elements in the same BGL file anyway.

Attaching effects with the old gamepack is not possible. There are a few commands that allow this, but the gamepack does not support them. So I would just say use the new one where possible.

You can have them both installed together (see the recent discussion in the GMax forum for details). So then you can switch between the gamepacks as needed.
