• 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.

Hi,

I like to install the different GMAX versions on my new configurated (Windows 10) PC. As it is already a long time ago that I started with GMAX12, followed with GMAx 2004 and GMAX for FSX, I don't remember quiet well how to realise it. Can somebody guide me ? Like to realise the final good working scenery of the airport of EBOS.

Thanks. José.
 
You just install gmax, then the gamepack from the fsx sdk I think. Then you use the fsx gmax .exe
 
Install gmax make sure it works.
Install sdk from your fsx disk_1 and then goto fsx main root folder sdk\Environment Kit\Modeling SDK". You'll see the folder FSX_GmaxGamePack folder
put the GmaxGamePack folder on your desktop and then install the rest of the sdk service packs.
then put the GmaxGamePack folder into your gmax folder
inside the GmaxGamePack folder you will find FSX_GMax shortcut paste that to your desktop and only start gmax with that shortcut

Hi,

May I do it also for GMAX 2004 because I red that there are problems with the Material Editor in WIndows
10 ?

Thanks. José.
 
1) Install the FSX SDK
2) Install the SDK service packs
3) Read fsxsdk.chm, chapter "Environment Kit" -> "Modeling SDK" -> "Using Modeling Tools", section "gmax"



As far as I have tested it, the FS2004 Gamepack still works including dropdown menus(!) and the Material Navigator(!!).
 
In my Gmax\Gamepacks folder I have all of these versions setup - from a long time ago when I first installed Gmax. As was previously mentioned, be sure to follow the SDK and use the shortcut for the FS version you plan to use.
