Well, I've been told there is no such thing as a stupid question, but I've looked through tutorials and haven't found an answer yet.
It's about exporting a model with textures. I have no problem putting them on to the model in gmax, but I open it in FS, the model is textureless. All the tutorials that I could find end
just
before the export part!
Can anyone help me out with this, or can direct me to a tutorial I may have missed?

The problem with Gmax is that it's a general 3d modelling application not primarily intended for FS. The FS2002 Gamepack allows you to export in the MDL or BGL format. Specific instructions are included with the FS2002 MakeMDL & Aircraft Container SDKs.

These instructions are complex & not always too clear. Basically - you have to configure the Aircraft Container folder manually & paste the appropriate files including textures into it (in the correct format). You might find my dummy aircraft container folder useful.

Ah, I figured it out. The textures weren't in the correct format!
Thx for your help!
