• 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.

Setting up Max for 2 SDKs

I finally decided to get into P3D v4. I still need to work in v3 at times. How do I set up Max so I can use a shortcut to open it with v3 tools or v4 tools depending on the version I want to work on?
 
What I do is go into the Customize/Configure System Paths/3rd Party Addons and just modify the location. Go to V1 to export FSX format. Go to V3 or V4 to export to those formats, etc. Not sure if I remember this exactly, but I think you could export from either V2 or V3 out of Max, and convert with the P3D V1 XtoMDL and that got your FSX models exported without using the X files converted from the ancient V1 version which had issues with high poly counts.
