• 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.

I've called up the asset browser by accident. I don't want it. It's locked overtop of my project viewport, and I can't get it closed. No file/close button, or x button. ?????
Therefore I can't continue working. The project saves with the browser window up front. Very annoying. Can anybody help me get this bloody thing closed so I can get back to the project?

Thanks in advance.

Man, you sound like me Doug. I am gifted at accidentally hitting a wrong key and totally losing control of my Gmax scene, even including rebooting it....

I havent found this Asset Browser yet... (Wondering what in the world it looks like, but dare not bring it up)....

Hey Doug

The Asset Browser can be found unter Utilities:

As you can see i have a Close-Button. But if you click into the asset browser you should be able to close it with Alt+F4, worked at least for me. ;)
 
The Asset Browser is also available from the Help menu. Stoll is running Win7? and I'm running XP - Alt-F4 closes the Asset Browser for me too.
 
Forgot to mention I'm running XP also. Thanks fellas for the replies. I got it resolved so - in case anyone else ever looks for help here on closing the asset browser from your viewport, when the exit is all greyed out and unclickable..

Customize
Viewport Configuration
Layout
select your layout/right click on the words "Asset Browser"
change it to "User"

continue making progress.:)
 
Glad you got it turned off.. I think Gmax was just picking on you, looking to see if it could turn your eyebrows instantly gray in 6 hours or less.


What in the world does this really do anyways???? I read the description in Gmax/Help and still gathered nothing from that. Web abled way of looking at your assets? (looks behind me to make sure no web cam is filming my asset!)

Now I understand. You can configure a viewport to display the Asset Browser or MaxScript Listener from the Extended viewport type, or even the Track view should you so wish. Or in your case, if you don't wish! ;)
You would think if you just hit L the active viewport would revert to Left view, but the Asset Browser (in a viewport) doesn't respond like a normal viewport.

Max does the same trick, but as usual there are even more options than with gmax. :eek:

@Lionheart: it's one way of finding that texture file you saved somewhere but just can't remember where. Mind you, we know you use notebooks and other such things to keep track of these; which is why you churn out four models while we're still hacking away at number 1...!
