• 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.

FSXA 3dsm9 Pluggins problem

Hi all
After playing with gmax for about 3 years I decided to move on Max9 (32bit).
I have installed Max9 and fsx sdk for FsXA (since I was able to place some autogen objects with “FsX object placement tool” I presume that the sdk was installed correctly).
I've added the 3DSM9 Plugins via "Customize" -> "Configure System Paths" -> "3rd Party Plugins" -> "Add"…and Aces Tools tab appeared in the Max9 upper menu
I made a simple box in max and went to Aces Tools -> AttachPointTool and got the messege “This tool is currently not supported”. Also tried the other functions of Aces Tools and I get the same message. I red about similar problems on the forum but all machines wher running on win7. In my case it's about winXP with SP3

I reinstalled max9 and ran through ConfigSDK.exe but no change.

Something is not right...Can anyone give me a tip how to solve this issue?

Did you make sure that you copied the following files from the 3DSM7 plugin folder into the 3DSM9 plugin folder:

XToMdl.exe
Managed_CrashTree.dll
Managed_Lookup_Keyword.dll

I just tried that and still doesn't work:(. Anyway thanks for helping
 
I have reinstalled the sdk and max9 and...it works now:D

question:
do I still have to copy: XToMdl.exe + Managed_CrashTree.dll + Managed_Lookup_Keyword.dll from 3dsM7 to 3dsM9 folder?
 
If you're able to export a model successfully I would leave things alone. In my case I had to copy the files from the 3DSM7 plugin folder into the 3DSM9 plugin folder in order to export a model without errors.
 
I have a feeling they forgot to sign Xtomdl.exe

I checked it as "Run as Administrator" which fixed this issue for me.

It was quite a long time ago.

Yes it was a VERY long time ago. I remember discovering and reporting this back when the Max9 tools were first released...

Since those three files are identical, a copy/replace is a perfectly acceptable method to overcome the unsigned isssue.
