Hello again. I just got a bird from Simv and I took it out for a short flight when I realized the bird was the size of a King Air!!! Is there any way to make it smaller in a simple way. I have no experience with GMAX. Cool

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

There is no way to make the bird smaller without access to the original GMax Soruce files. You cannot make changes to an MDL file. You can export one from GMax, but you can't take a compiled MDL and put it in GMax. I blame the author for it being too big. Grin

(If you didn't already know, an MDL is the model that displays in the sim.)

Usually reason is that the model was made in feet with the units set to metres.

As the reply above states...there is nothing you can so about it.

I really don't know how these sort of things get through as even the most basic checking in FS will show this up.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just deal with it. Embarrassed
