• 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 have a highway sign model with text words that can be changed/modified but i'm unable to do this for some reason.
I'm using Gmax FSXGamepack that came with the FSX Deluxe.The model was made with 3dsMax11. I'm able to import/export into Gmax with no issues. Also i have tried to create new text using Gmax & i can't modify that either.
Any Suggestions would be greatly Appreciated.

Thanks
Bdub

Hi

The models come with text writing that's can be edited according to the model page i purchased it from so I'm not really creating just editing what's already on the sign, But even when creating new text with the spline feature in Gmax, I can create new but when use the edit with convert with editable mesh feature i can't change/edit it.

Hi,

Once it's converted to editable mesh I assume the spline is lost and thus can no longer be edited in that way. It may have to be saved as a splines version and that version used for editing.

Hi
I had tried that, I couldn't get it bold but have now figured how to.

Thanks for your help.
