Welcome to
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s SDK Q&A Platform!
Please take a moment to read the platform’s guidelines before you get started!
I've just upgraded to Windows 11 on a production rig. 3dsmax 2022 installed with the latest SDK.
I've got Multi-Exporter window open and I've got a test object with an export path set. Exporting the object works. However it's unable to generate an XML. There's no error message, it just doesn't generated an XML when clicking Generate XML.
This has always worked fine in the past so I'm not sure what the issue is?
Thanks for reporting
This issue will be investigated

I've found some issues with the Multi-exporter, the option to create a Options preset doesn't work very well.
Pressing the + button to create a new preset returns a python exception "dict object has no has_key attribute". I had a look a the .PY source code, and it seems the has_key has been replaced with __contains__ in Python 3. I got rid of the exception by changing it.
Pressing the - button doesn't do anything. Looking at the source code, in fact, it doesn't seem there is any code attached to the - button, so it doesn't seem possible to remove an option preset.
This also raises a question:
When exporting animated objects by separating the multi-LOD meshes from the animations, is it required to set the "no animation" option, assuming only layers containing static mesh are exported ? Is the opposite true ? It is required to set to export "animation only", when exporting the animation .gltf, assuming only layers containing animated nodes belonging to animation groups are exported ?
I'm asking because I've noticed that even when exporting only layers containing static meshes, the resulting .gltf is still quite large, even if nothing animated is being exported and even if the meshes are just 100 polygons or so, just because the exported is flagged to export the animation. The only way to create a smaller .glft for the lower LODs is to explicitly set to not export the animation,. is this how's supposed to be ?
Basically, when a multi-LOD object contains animations in a separate file, so only layers with no animations are exported, does the export animation must be enabled or not for the static meshes ?
If yes, it would then be quite useful if the save Options preset function would work.
Update - Still doesn't work with SDK v0.19 - This makes exporting large amount of objects very laborious.
Hi there,
We are currently reviewing all of our Python tools which have issues under Max 2022 - these are due to the switch from Python 2.7 to Python 3.7 indeed (which happened between Max 2020 and Max 2021).
We will update the SDK as soon as the reviewing pass is completed.
Best regards,
Eric / Asobo
Looks like issue has been resolved in the latest SDK 0.19.1
Thank you!
