• 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.

Dreaded GMAX right-click issue

I know that there have been various issues both here and on other forums regarding quad menu issues, but none of the suggestions I've come across fix this for me. A few days ago I lost most of my right-click-ability. I'm aware that there are driver-related issues, but this is different. I'm not aware of any changes lately which would cause this (within GMAX, video driver, Windows update etc), and I've even restored GMAX entirely from a backup, just to make sure I hadn't inadvertently changed anything.
My quad menu just doesn't appear at all, neither does right-clicking the viewport labels. It isn't a mouse issue, as I can still right-click outside the viewports.
I can live with this, but it is awkward. I wonder if there's any way to bring up the Quad menu another way?
Otherwise this might be nature's way of telling me to move on from GMAX.
 
Ok, I've just this minute finished a Windows update, which fixed this! I suspect that a previous update might have caused it. I'm very glad it's fixed, but I'm very aware that GMAX isn't going to last forever.
 
I've had similar problems from time to time with no consistent way to resolve them. Sometimes restarting Gmax or a reboot takes care of it, sometimes a video driver update was necessary to sort it out. I'd also say be sure to avoid the DirectX Gmax driver, only use OpenGL or the Heidi driver. DirectX support seems to be getting more broken over time (at least that's how it's been for me).
