• 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.

3DS Max 9 64-bit supported by FSX SDK?

I've installed 3DS Max 9 64-bit version on Vista 64. The SDK 3DS Max 9.0 plugins do not appear to work with the 64-bit version of Max 9.0. :eek: Has anyone else had the same experience? It looks as if the SDK only contains the plugins for the 32 bit version.

If that is correct then I'm very surprised that Aces did not create plugin versions for both 32 & 64 bit versions of Max 9.0. Both versions of Max 9 come on the same DVD.
 
I'd like to hear the answer to this question too; I'd prefer using Vista 64bit...

The Productivity Booster extension for max 9 adds Vista support, that much I know.

If the FSX plugins were maxscript only they would probably work but I think (haven't got the SDK installed currently) there's also a .dle or two involded, and they would have to be recompiled methinks.

Keep us posted! ;)

Unfortunately, we were unable to support 64-bit Max 9 on 64-bit Vista. However, the tools should work on 32-bit Max 9 on 64-bit Vista. That's what we eventually switched to in house.
 
I was offered to purchase 3dsMax2009 by my local dealer, as I have 2008 now. Would that be compatible with the FS tools?

Good to know anyway that I didn't decide to get 64bit back then - didn't know it wouldn't work with the exporter. :)
 
The Max 9 DVD contains both the 64 32 bit versions. I've found that both can be installed and on the same HD. I use Max 9 32 bit for FSX and 64 bit for rendering projects.
 
Did anyone try this, I am debating whether to swap to 64bit Vista as I have now got 4gb RAM. I only installed the 32bit Max, has anyone tried it yet with the SDK?
 
The FSX SDK tooks only work with the 32 bit version of Max 9. However Max 9 32 works fine in Vista 64. You can install Max 9 64 along side Max 9 32 to use with projects that do not require the FSX SDK tools.
