• 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.

Good day to all ,
been bugged with this problem for quite a while and still cant find a stardard answer.
I have been going through the tutorials for Gmax.
The problem that I face is , how do I set up my models to be exported to FlightSim X (.mdl) cause all that I could export it to is .Plasma,
Plus the tutorials on the SDK is for 3d studio max.I dont see the relevency for it.

What should I do ? To set up my Gmax to work with flightsim X use.

Really need help here.
Thank you.
 
Setup

Hi!

The 3D Software setups for FSX are located in the following location:

(Your Flightsim Folder)\SDK\Environment Kit\Modeling SDK

If you´re using gmax, there is a shortcut "FSX_GMAX" inside the "FSX_GmaxGamePack" folder. By using it, gmax runs under FSX conditions during modeling. That´s my current way and it works without any problems.
 
Service Pack 2 FSX

i cant seem to find the "FSX_GMAX" inside the "FSX_GmaxGamePack" folder ,

must I first download the SP2 Installer ?
 
Hi,

The original FSX RTM SDK does not include the GMax gamepack indeed, you would have to update the SDK to SP1 for that.

But more important is that your SDK version should match your installed FSX version. So make sure you have the right SDK installed:

FSX RTM -> SDK SP1
FSX SP1 -> SDK SP1A
FSX SP2 -> SDK SP2
FSX Acceleration Pack -> SDK Acceleration Pack
 
I'm glad you took my advice to come here for help! The forums at TurboSquid simply aren't very flexible for this type of communications... ;)
