My first current problem is exporting a Gmax aircraft to FS.  I have followed all of the steps and copied the correct files but the program tells me that it can't find makemdl.dll.  I'm not sure what to do next.

The second is airfile information. None of the books that I own carry info sufficiently detailed to create an airfile.  Does anyone have any links to sites that provide this info.

Thanks in advance.

Will. I never liked Gmax or to be more accurate it doesn't like me.

I did experiment with it when FS2002 was first released & know the basics for both FS2002/4 & CFS2. First - make sure you installed the Gamepack files correctly as described in this topic. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=airc;action=display;num=10...

I tried exporting the default Dash 8 first. This was successful in both FS2002 & CFS2 & I posted shots at the time to prove it. The Gmax source files for the Dash 8 & the 2 other default AI only aircraft are included in the FS2002\gmax\Samples\Aircraft folder. You will find sample AIR file + Aircraft.cfg for most types in the FS2002\aircraft\templates folder. These will need renaming & editing appropriately for use in your project.

Export problems can be caused by all sorts of things. These very often give the error message you describe even if the Gamepack is correctly installed. Check out the most common ones here. http://thegreatptmd.tripod.com/exporter/expoerror.htm
Although originally developed for use with CFS2 I found that using MiddleMan from the same site makes export easier for both sims.

Thanks Doug.  I think it was a cone problem, I had built a zepplin etc...

Ender and Microlight, thankyou for your help.  I think that the major problem is that I've never flown a Blenheim, or anything else for that matter.  I'll never know if it feels right LOL...
