• 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.

Assigning multiple GUID's?

I did find this description on how to add a GUID in 3D Studio Max.
My issue is I need to associate the model to multiple GUID numbers.
Is it possible to have more than one GUID entry per model?
How would I do this? When I try to add another one like listed below it just keeps overwriting the one I did already.
Any help wuld greatly be appreciated.

"To assign a GUID value in 3dsMax you need to download Guidgen.exe form Microsoft, install the app and run it. This will give you a GUID value. (use the Registry Format from the pop up) Copy this value. In 3dsmax select your model then select File/File Properties. From the popup go to Custom. under Name, type the word FriendlyName, under Value, give your object a name, then click Add. Keep the popup open, and under Name again type the word GUID and under value paste your GUID value obtained from the GUIDGEN app. (Remove the Curly Braces from the begining and end of the value), Then click Add, Click OK. Now export the model as the Flightsim DirectX File. Thats it. Hope this helps. Took me some time to figure this one out".
 
Why would you need multiple GUIDS for one model? THe exporting process is one GUID for one MODEL.

Basically, you'd have to compile several models with different model names.
 
A GUID is supposed to the an unique identification number for your object, so I don't see why you want to assign multiple GUIDs to the same object. Each MDL file can only have one GUID thus.
