• 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.

XToMdl Error with Win7

I'm having some trouble exporting an aircraft I'm working on from 3dsMax9. Specifically with the XToMdl tool. The error I get is that XToMdl couldn't be loaded because of a strong name validation failure.

The SDK was installed prior to my upgrade to Win7 Ultimate, but I installed 3dsMax9 afterwards, so I would assume anything relating to the plugins should have been installed correctly.

The only thing I can think is causing this is the upgrade, possibly messing with the global assembly cache.

Has anyone seen this before and fixed it or would you suggest re-installing the SDK (is that even possible!)?

thanks in advance
 
Are you using the xtomdl.exe straight from the Max9 plugins/gamepack?

I understand that it wasn't "signed" by Micsrosoft before release, but copying the xtomdl.exe from the Max 7/8 plugins works.
 
Yes, I was using the Max9 version. I'll try the older version.

I also have the SDK on my laptop which hasn't been upgraded so I'll try it there as well.

thanks
