I haven't heard of anything about a new format

In the EDM settings in max there something about using world or local coordinates. That might be it if my memory is right

For 64 bit maxes please send me exported registry branches and screenshot for whichever version you have: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMax\12.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMax\13.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMax\14.0

I just checked my visitor message thingy. A TRUE airport, (name, adf, radios, AI landing/takeoff, all that fun stuff), is not possible from what I know without the tools which are not publicly released. I believe static objects will work but there might be issues with the game engine recognizing it as something that an aircraft can land on without blowing up at a certain speed. Having a static object with refueling trucks etc so the player can rearm/refuel....not sure. It might have to be tied to a TRUE airport, but never tested it.

perfect. Anyone have any other outstanding isseus?

and nobody has had the issue anymore where it does not detect a 3ds max install and the checkboxes are grayed out?

ok good

so all is fine, but no english letters for 2014 plugins?

max 2014 or Max Design 2014? (not sure if there is regular 2014 so the question might be dumb)

Plugin build number and full max version please

Can everyone please list off what version of Max they have, what they use, and what they would want to use. Please dont add extra content since I will be making a list of out peoples response. Example: I have Max 2010 and 2011 I use 2010 I am fine with using max 2010 Current breakdown: HAVE Max 8 2 Max 2k8 2 2010 3 2011 4 2012 6 2013 0 2014 2 USE Max 8 1 2010 2 2011 2 2012 4 2013 0 2014 2

send me the model please. Max 2010 format

Lockon 1.0 does not have Starforce. Force install as administrator in case it doesn't call the system properly for elevated privileges, and set the .exe to compatibility mode for Windows XP. I thinks that is all I did to get it working.

Temptextures takes priority over the main location so my guess is that the mod creator used that so it wouldent overwrite any files. Assuming my memory is correct: For airbases that have been redone since FC1 days, there should be their own .zip file containing their textures in a name that relates to the airfield. For ones that have not been redone, they share the generic runway textures with the names specified in that mod

Are you relatively new to 3ds max? I would follow the guide on the first post and start out with a simple box or building to get the hang of it. Then try a simple animation. 3ds max builds on itself so if you try to jump into it with a pre-done model, it wont be as beneficial as making your own basic one to start with

It should. The downside is that you must re-export to change lod values instead modifying the corresponding .lods file

yes you guys are correct. Fixed

no. max 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012

The track has a 9-20 degree bank depending on the track location

I have added two more basic guides to the bottom of the first post. Please let me know if there are any errors: Basic Animation Guide Basic LOD Guide http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1418067&postcount=1

what are you animating? and what argument value?

As per the EDM FAQ thread, the current versions of Model Viewer are undergoing changes current and do not currently work. Videos have been on my todo list but have not had time. In the EDM thread there is a basic model guide where you can start. I also have a basic animation and basic LOD guide almost done but needs to be proofread. Maybe I should finish that this week....Feel free to PM specific questions but just do a quick search in the forums first since I might take a few days to respond.

mmmmm that lighting!!

The tower of the airfield under attack is broadcasting the message over all frequencies to alert everyone to help :)

Use triggers and it should work fine I would think. When units gets destroyed inside trigger of airfield, play the sound. When enemy aircraft enter trigger of airfield, play the sound.
