• 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 all,

I am in the process of letting MCX detect if all prerequisites for XtoMDL are present on the machine (things like the right C++ redistributables, DirectX, etc).

Now I am also checking if XtoMDL itself is a x86 or x64 application and I am a bit puzzled there. It seems that from P3D v4 XtoMDL is a 64 bit application. In the older versions it is a x86 application. Even when there is a 64 bit plugin for 3DS Max in these versions. Is that logical? I thought there was a 64 bit version of XtoMDL before as well.
 
In the beginning, few people could run 64 bit. The software existed, the machines were unobtainable.
 
That answer is not really answering the question. Before P3D v4 there were 64 bit plugins for 3ds max as well, but it seems the xtomdl in that is still 32 bit.
 
Automax pumping out 64 bit plugins to stifle competition in the face of newcomers like Sketchup and Blender and Microsoft being like, "WTF do we do with these things, nobody is using that top of the line stuff yet," seems reasonable enough to me.
