Version: MSFS2024_SDK_Core_Installer_1.3.1

Bug description: I went to merge a 2020 3ds max model into 3ds max 2024 with the new core installer and it does not convert the material from 2020 to 2024. I was forced to revert back to MSFS2024_SDK_Core_Installer_1.2.4 and it instantly converted the materials rather than open up the scene converter.

Also is there any reason I must continue to use 2023 and 2024? Why is there no SDK core 2020 to install to 3ds max 2024? I find this odd as we have to use two 3ds max installations.

Looking forward to some feedback and I hope we can just use 3ds max 2024 in the near future.

@Yasmine same problem with the latest MSFS 2024 core 1.3.3.

I end up with all the materials broken, what can be done? Any advise? I cannot get the installer 1.2.4 that @Flysimware has..

Best,
Raul

Hello Asobo,

I have figured out the exact issue on why 3ds max 2024 can’t convert material from 2020 to 2024.

Having the 2024 sdk does not work in 3ds max 2024 because it does not know what a 2020 material is. Asobo forgot to make an install option for 3ds max 2024 for the msfs2020 sdk.
