• 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.

Help?

There are a number of issues to solve before this will be ready to prep for export:

The "Unit Scale" problem may be solved by (a) setting up GMax to the proper "Unit Scale" then Opening the existing file. GMax will prompt you about the "Unit Scale" mismatch. Accept the first option to convert the project to the existing "Unit Scale."

The four problem objects will have to be recreated and animated. Unfortunately, "animated objects" don't survive the "Unit Scale" conversion process. Perhaps it would be best to remove all the animations in your original .gmax file before reseting the "Unit Scale" as outlined above... ;)

HaHa your a funny guy to be around i bet,
I was actually ooing an ahhing about the landing gear because i wasnt sure if i was doing it right and when i was trying to fix the height problem my gmax went spaz and stopped responding and in the end i forgot about it but ill fix that up

oh yeah thats the old plane i actually got rid of those engines you'll have to open the ZX - Transporter and check that one out, sorry
 
Never mind. The entire model is FUBARed.

1. All the animations are using the wrong type controllers.

2. The wings are only simple planar objects; they have only a "top" but no "bottom". IOW, looking up from the bottom the "wings" are invisible. :eek:

3. All objects seem to have Transform: Position, Rotation and Scale applied. This should never be done.

Honestly, I'd recommend studying Hugh Shoults' humorously titled work: "The Stupid Idiots' Guide to starting with gMax."

Better still, download and save so you can study off-line, perhaps even print out some of the pages:

By the way, don't be discouraged by this. You should have seen my first GMax model; it resembled a ball of crumbled aluminim foil in the sim! :yikes:

Having done this for a living for the past six years though, I can now produce reasonably good looking and smooth tin foil now! :wizard: :duck:
