• 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.

I'm running the sdk installer and although I'm selecting the option to select 3ds max 2018, its not actually appearing when I open max. Do I still have to manually point to the plugin. I did wonder about the first option of core objects and where that should be installed. I have tried everything and its just not automatically being added. Any ides anyone

I don't have an answer for you. All I know is, upon installation of the SDK it will, of it's own volition, look for a copy of 3ds Max on your system and install the appropriate plugins. That was my experience. I have Max 2019 installed. Obviously it looks at the registry for your Max installation. Beyond reinstalling Max and/or the SDK, I don't know.

Good luck.

When I installed the SDK it automatically selected the 3DS Max 2018 on the list of 3ds max versions.

I think the sdk is not detecting your 3DS Max installation.

Regards.

I have another (potential) bug with 3DS Max 2018. My menu looks like this:
27-08-2020 14-39-59.jpg

But in 2019 (in virtual box machine) I see something else:
27-08-2020 14-48-34.jpg

I have SDK 0.5.1 and reinstalled them already several times.

I have no idea why the SDK is not finding the max installation. I've done a new install of max on the C drive but its still not finding it?
