• 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.

Installing 2002 gamepack

Hi Guys

I just got hold of an old FS2002 proffesional CD and I am trying to setup GMAX to make ground polys.

The link on the wiki page does not work so I am hoping someone can tell me which files I need to transfer from the CD to GMAX. Do I also need to download any of the new SDK's from the microsoft site?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You need to download the lastest version of the Fs2002 MakeMDL SDK from MS.

Have a look at the documentation of the Fs2004 gamepack, it comes with a document that tells you have to install both of them together in the correct way. From the CD you mainly need the Fs2002 FsModelExp.dle file.
 
I am trying to add FS2002 capability to a FS2004 GMax installation so as to be able to generate ground polys that don't shimmer.

I set up the FS2002 directories as described in the FS2004 SDK documentation and downloaded FS2002 MakeMDL.exe to it from the MS website. But, it seems I need a FS2002 version of the FSModelExp.dle module and this doesn't appear to be available from the MS website. Using FS2002 MakeMDL in conjunction with FS2004 FSModelExp results in an error message.

Anyone know where I can get the FS2002 version of FSModelExp.dle?

As Steve already indicated, this file is not available for download. You can only get it from the Fs2002 Pro CD.

If you do not own Fs2002 Pro, you could use MDLCommander to save the X file made by the Fs2004 gamepack and run that file through the Fs2002 MakeMDL manually.
