• 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,

For FS2004 there is no official gamepack for 3DS Max. So you will have try to export to a X file so that you can compile the object into the FS format using the MakeMDL tool from the SDK. I think most people will use a plugin from Pandasoft for that.

Another option would be to export as 3DS, import that into GMax and export to FS from there.
 
Nice towers! :)

If I were you I would export the model from 3Dmax to gmax. From gmax you can export it to mdl which can be converted as bgl.
As Arno said 3Dmax is not compatible with FS but gmax. Gmax is actualy is equal to 3Dmax. Almost all the functionalities are there (except rendering). And it is freeware! You can download gmax after registration from turbosquid here. Then you need to install the FS2004 gmax sdk here. This is an add-on to gmax to be able to export models. It is also includes some tutorials.
You should use gmax in the future for design. Than you do not have to export it from 3DStudio.
One more remark. I see you used materials from 3DStudio. These will not be 'recognised' by FS. For "painting" the objects you should use textures. It is also described in the tutorial.
For more info you should read the wiki of fsdeveloper it is very useful.
