• 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.

Gmax... Something terribly wrong!

Hey all,


I cannot create anything!? I cannot mouse drag a line, square, cube, cone, spline, anything.... Even in a new scene.

I have rebooted my computer, I have tried fresh scenes, I dont know what is going on. The mouse works in other ways, can select objects in Gmax, but cannot drag/create things.


At first, the RH Control Panel disappeared as well, but after rebooting Gmax 3 times, it showed back up. (I had tried bringing it back via the Gmax.ini file coordinates, but it only lists columns in it).

I wonder what on Earth I have done?



Bill
 
Nevermind. I got it working....

I tried working the mouse/drag create on a Spline line before going into the scene, and this time it works fine.


Could this be that day of the month that Gmax does odd things?

so odd..... so so odd...




Bill
 
By default the '3' key toggles the Command Panel, so a simple mis-key can cause this to happen. Also if my cat walks across the keyboard GMAX takes a week to put back the way I like it...
 
Oh man, I have done that. Hit the wrong key and 3 days to figure out how to get things back.


I dont know why, but this wouldnt get the CP back, nor the ability to draw out an object.


I have seen this program do many wierd things. It probably found a way to link into my computer cam and wanted to see if it could cause a noticeable change in gray/silver in my eyebrows...

Click to expand...

im glad its not just me that spends days trying to work out what key i accidently pressed that has changed or prevented something from working the way im used to:mad:
 
Yep... Happens to all of us.

A good way to back track such an issue is to go through the Customize/Customize User Interface and see what keys are assigned to what commands, (quick command keys).
