Ok, I've spent the last few hours trying to get my textures to show up is fs9.  Yes I know yet again I can't figure it out.  So I'm asking for anyone to help, I was hoping I could e-mail the plane to someone and they can get the texture map to work, there is only one texture map to work with.  Then give me step by step instructions on how to do it myself.  If anyone cna do me this major favor that can help me learn how to do all this, I'll greatly appreciate the favor.

Gmax or FSDS2.24?? If it's the latter I can help.

Send the textures and gmax source files to me and I'll see what’s up from Gmax to FS9 for ya.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a daisy motif with an underling shade of pink.

Ok thanks.  I'll send them right away.

Well Fudge!!! I couldn't find my can of pink paint   and the daisies just didn't look right without a good base coat of pink.


matthew954,

What I found to be the problem, Gmax System Units for the scene were specified in Inches. They really need to be set to Meters.
Here is the run down on how to do this incase you aren’t familiar enough with Gmax to change this.

Open the Customize menu

Select Preferences

Look under the General Tab for “System Unit Scale” section

Make sure you see 1 Unit = 1.0

In the dropdown menu to the right change it from Inches to Meters

Below that there’s a check box for “Automatic Unit Conversion” place a check in it.

Now load your file and when prompted to choose to let Gmax convert the file to current System Units.

The model will be very small and you will need to scale it using the “Select and Uniform Scale” tool to bring the model up to your desired size.

As you indicated to me the wingspan is approximately the same as an F16 at 10.01 meters. I used a tape tool helper and set it’s length to be 10.01 meters, centered it on the craft with the alignment tool and then scaled the craft up to meet the length of the tape tool.

I also converted the texture to 32bit. The 8bit would have been ok though.

Be checking the mail. I am sending the files back to you. fs_devastator.gmx is still in its original from and Unit Scale of Inches.

fs_devastator01.gmax is the modified scene, which has the correct Unit Scale. I have also included the compiled *.mdl and 32bit texture file as well.

If you have any questions let me know.

Matthew, you lucked out this time.


Now, when you get the model back from him, pleas return his can of pink paint!
