That totally outshines the big bin, haha! But really this is outstanding.

You joined on January 24th, and today is the 7th, which means it has been 14 or 15 days depending on the server and the time zone. So just be patient.

I've begun gathering information and photos of the F-105 Thunderchief. I'd appreciate any assistance you can offer, gentlemen.

I have just uploaded the F/A-18E and F models after making the necessary fixes and updates to the files. Please redownload and delete the old ones, especially the weapons under the weapons folder, before copying.

Great job, keep it going!

I truly hope that things improve for everyone in the near future. What else can I say? This is life, and it’s exactly that struggle that makes it worth the daily fight, knowing that better days are ahead. It’s an ongoing challenge, and that’s what motivates us to keep moving forward.

This brings back so many great memories.

Exceptional job! We truly appreciate the time and effort you've dedicated, especially for including us in it.

Don't worry, it was meant to be, and it's working again at least.

Thanks so much for your support and assistance! I rolled back my PC to a backup from four days ago, and 3D Max is functioning again. However, the gray screen issue is another matter. To address it, I deleted all the entries in the Quad menus found under Customize/Quads, which disabled the right-click feature. This actually works out well for me since I don’t really use the quad menu with right-clicking; I’ve always preferred using keyboard shortcuts.

I just tried that, but 3D Max won’t launch after the installing the Service Pack, . I’m currently restoring my last backup, so I’m really hoping it returns to how it was! It should take around four hours before I know if it was successful . I really appreciate all your support and for being there when I needed assistance! PS. It's all from windows 11

Hi there, it's me once more. I'm reaching out to ask for your assistance with my old 3ds Max 2009. I'm facing an issue where every time I right-click to access the quad menu, it brings up a frozen gray box that only disappears when I exit the program. I'd like to find a way to disable the right-click for the quad menu, but I'm not sure how to do that. I've looked everywhere in my 3ds Max, but I can't seem to locate the setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I've attached a screenshot for reference.
