• 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.

FSX Using P3D V3/4 SDKs in FSX using newer 3ds Max versions

Hi everyone.

I read somewhere that the last SDK that works in FSX is the P3D V1.4 SDK. The most recent version of 3ds Max that V1.4 SDK supports is Max 2012, which is what I use for FSX to model objects for scenery.

That is getting old now and what I was wondering, do later SDK's like P3D V3/V4 that support newer versions of 3ds Max still work with FSX?

Say if I export a .X file using the V3/V4 SDK with a newer version of 3Ds Max, and then use the FSX XtoMDL.exe to create an .MDL file, will that work? Are there any differences between the older FSX .X files and the newer V3/V4 .X files??
