• 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.

Edited because the editor saves new templates if MCX is started with admin privileges. I know it used to without, but that will work.

Not sure what your question was, but I never run MCX with admin rights. It should be possible to save them without as well. Maybe unless you installed MCX in a folder where only admins have write permission.
 
Right now, if I open the Material Attribute Template Editor, I have to force quit MCX to regain control. I have always had MCX in Program Files and a year or two ago I made a template to set material attributes to opaque and I did not have to do it in admin mode, this was before MCX opened with the CMD window. If I MCX in admin mode, I can open and close the editor and the templates will save.
 
I will test it again here to make sure no bug slipped in.
