• 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.

Hi @ All

I´m actually working on a fsx version of my bk117 and
I tried to install the fsx sdk. In the tutorial they said,
that i have to copy the files from the folder 3DSM7 into the
gmax plugins folder. The files are: FSModelExp.dle ; FSX Animations.ms and so on. After doing this and starting gmax, gmax said that these files could not be initialized! The exact
Error report is:

DLL <C:\gmax\PlugIns\FSModelEXP.dle> failed to initialize

The same report is given on the other files!

So, Please help! Why does gmax not initialize these files?

Thanx so far

best regards

Robert Benning
 
No.1 Make sure you install the SDK and updates to match the version of FS that you have. If you have updated to FS-X Acceleration, install the SDK update from the ACceleration Disk (unless you've already updated to FS-X SP2, and SDK SP-2, then no need to re-install the Acceleration SDK update.)

To get the gamepack into gmax, COPY the folder FSX_GmaxGamepack (installed by the SDK to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Modeling SDK) to your c:\gamx\gamepacks folder, so you'll end up with

C:\gmax\gamepacks\FSX_GmaxGamePack

and all the neat folders, etc. to happily drive yourself nuts with gmax.
 
And don't forget to start GMax with the FSX shortcut found in the gamepack after that. Then it should work like a charm...
