• 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.

    MSFS20 We need a new FS2020-ready AirWrench, or AirEd :-)

    I'll be honest. I miss AAM ( Aircraft Airfile Manager ). I miss it because it had a very thorough comment section in it that attempted to define what each entry did and which other entries it effected. Wached oveer time, you could see all these entries in a single air file would change and come...

    P3D v1 Does anyone know what this error means??

    Thanks Hairyspin.. Didnt know that.. Wish me luck getting them working.. Edit:: Switching to 64 bit seems to have cleared up the problem nicely. I did the sdk update a little bit differently this time and everything worked out nicely. Thank you Everyone.. Much much appreciated..

    P3D v1 Does anyone know what this error means??

    I'm currently using Max 2012 32 bit. I had tried the 64 bit but ran into issues and decided to go back o 32 bit for the time being. Theres 157,000 polys on the model total. I reset the poly countfrom the 1000 polys budget to 250000 in max, and saved.. A second export gave me an unrecognized...

    confused as heck..

    Got it figured out and Mannnn do i feel like a schmuck. Ok, max 2012 is leaving objects in the browser list when i delete them so there are a lot of ghosts, but that wasnt the problem.. The files being copied werent the problem.. nope.. problem was?? I have two different installs of P3D on the...

    confused as heck..

    no. just the one file. i delete all the mdl files before i copyin a new model file. heh. i know me too well and thats one screw up i could easily make, so i take measures to ensure it doesnt happen.

    confused as heck..

    A quick update. I've found at least part of it. Group 244 has, no materials, no nothing. its totally invisible in max but the bounding box is still there if you select that group and going into mesh edit and selecting vertices the vertices appear and are selectable. Odly, theres no anything...

    confused as heck..

    Both of those are really good suggestions.. P3D I didnt do a reload that i remember, I simply started it up and loaded the boat and had a minor heart attack.. I havent tried loading the model today. guss I'm too afraid of what i'll see, The page file issue is a possibility. FSX uses two...

    confused as heck..

    it's ok.. Most people dont have P3D and even fewer have max 2012. I knew it was going to be an uphill battle from the moment i started, i just wasnt expecting the curve balls ive been getting.. I pulled a trick hoping to eliminate the ghost and exported the deck and the hull individually to...

    confused as heck..

    Thank for the kid words of encouragement. this is obviously driving me 8nsane, and it simply the last of a long string of problems ive been having with this model. the rest i think i have ironed out, but this one really takes the cake. Ive uploaded the max file to...

    confused as heck..

    We're on the same page. I opened both the fsx version and the p3d version in modelviewerx and both models display correctly. however when i load the same model file into p3d it shows up as an old and discontinued versio from two days ago. As for the file copy issue, there wasnt any. I...

    confused as heck..

    yes. the Aces tools are all i use. Using the fileproperties tool, I can set the GUID but it doesnt seem to set it from the tools menu as a verify gives me GUID and friendlyname issues all the time.. i've started purposely exporting files simply to create the GUID and friendly name. I know...

    confused as heck..

    UAc is off.. Sorry, I probably should have mentioned that before, but i just didnt think about it.. The P3D installation is older, but the license is brand new. The model itself has never been in p3d till this morning, and frankly, i've never exported anything from max to fsx before, so i must...

    confused as heck..

    Yes they do.. In fact I simply copied the entire folder over to P3D this morning as i didnt have p3d working till i bought a new license this morning. everything filewise is identical to FSX. going further, i even went in and deleted the interior models which "were" based on the original model...

    confused as heck..

    I apologize for asking a newbie question but well i'm rather new to making models for fsx. Please bear with me.. I am experiencing a model issue i've never seen before in FSX and P3D i've never seen before. it baffles me to no end. the gist of it is, i'm using the same exact MDL file for both...

    The stuff i work on you cant usually take a picture of since config files arent very inteteresting to look at. But recently, i teamed up with Paul Dominique to help him build his SU-37. Since i'm no genius, and needing to be for this flight model, I inlisted the aid of John Cagle for the...

But all scenery sliders were placed to their maximum settings. frame...
