Lately, i've been looking at LOADS of tutorials online and figured out my problem with exporting from GMAX. I had version 2 and needed 1.
Anyway, i've made two planes so far, and the only thing that is displayed, as in color, texture etc. is the colors I used in GMAX. Yes, i've applied 24 bit 1024X1024 textures to my aircraft, but when I export, there's only the colors! Need some help here.

Ýou've been snookered - gWax uses the 24-bit textures, but you have to convert them to 8-bit, DXT1, DXT3, or 32-bit for them to appear in FS... FS will NOT show 24-it textures.

FYI - many people will use 8-bit textures to assign/map while building the model, and do the final conversion for FS.
