Well, the only thing I can suggest is reinstalling Gmax and then making sure you set up the folder correctly. If you are in need of it, I can zip mine up and send it to you direct via email.

Also, if you are using Middleman or MDLCommander, disable them both and use the simple MakeMDL supplied by Microsoft.

After you have all that done, try exporting a simple object (like a cube) into an aircraft file from a blank Gmax document. I've found that sometimes the setup from another person's computer, or how they've set up Gmax, can interfere with the export process.

Cheer up, there's always a solution!

This is the most likely reason. I expect Milton's models are very complex which takes a lot of processor power & virtual memory to compile. Try it with a simpler model.

PS. I often had a similar problem with my old machine. I couldn't even open some source files in Gmax/FSDS, never mind work on or export them.

The Dash 7 on my old computer required 25 minutes to compile/export. I believe it takes about 2-3 minutes on my current unit. So, the computer may not be hung but simply busy compiling. On older units, you must be patient.

The D18S would have been a better choice to try.
