Am i completly off in the way i am doing this, this is my "first" aircraft and i have no clue what and or which direction i am headed ???






I also have a plug for a boolean to take out the main screen.

Falcon try something easier SAVE this plane and start doing things like silly planes a tube with a long table in orther you get use to export & see it in the game,I learn by doing very silly things,

Make a copy  the entire   Default cessna 172 folder, Aircraft.cfg & Cesssna.air etc... Put another name as John Doe,.. export the model you work and place the mdl with the same name and replace the copy of the mdl in the modelfolder(Remember we are working WITH a COPY of the cessna original fs9 folder ,Never the original,..)

you will change in aircraft.cfg this

[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=N176CM
ui_manufacturer=
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation="White with blue and gray"
description="

Then open fs9 look for manufacture falcon500 you must see your plane,you don't need to finish it ,you can even export this model to take a look in the fs9

Remember Not replace the original Cessna172 use a copy of it

I assume that your working with Gmax,Im trying to help you Falcon500 maybe you haven't add a requirement( I don't know how much you know or Ignore ,Perhaps you already knbow this) but just in case if you don't add this software to your  already Gmax instalation,you wont be able to export Direccly from Gmax to MDL (Not *.X)unless you are working with 3d studio max,
You must download the "gMax Gamepack SDK" right here

http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/fs2004_downloads_sdk.asp

Install it...

then Set gmax in meters ,I will say again in preferences ,set it to meter unit, then you export will as an aircraft ,Maybe you know all this am not a magician,I just want to help you ,ask specific what you need to know and It would be easier for me to help me ,to help you 

Just converting the units in Gmax isn't going to change the actual size of the aircraft.

In Gmax, create a new scene.

Set it up as you had done with the last one, except now you have the units set up correctly.  However you usually get a background image to work with, get that in there.

Create a block (if you haven't already) the dimensions of the aircraft.

Merge your B-25 into this scene.  Now group all the B-25 objects (NOT the block you just made) together and reset the gizmo center to 0,0,0.

Now use the "Select and Uniform Scale" tool, next to the "Select and Rotate" tool, to shrink the new group until it fits inside the block.

Delete the block, save your work and you're ready to export!

Fine do as you wanna or follow others advises I delete my other post,it doesn't worth it dude ,do in the hardest way....I wish to see others work,posted with exeption of Milton Shupe who also belong here,and sometimes he's disacredit though I mean he's teaching and in this forum is the top in knowledge......

You right Locke ,I don't need this,Your advises always will be better than everyone else,This doesn't worth it you must be a teacher ,and I rather to make planes...At least Im in a very different possition around the web,to see my name as a desigher from being the teacher or compite for that( say what you want your opinion doesn't count to me)   perhaps I just apply my own experiences to myself,this its like a child issue and I wont go with this any further,I notice everytime everyone replys a help ,a help! locke you are always to denies other experiences, or Disacredit it,when we are here suppost  to help & others, not to compite this its absurd,so go ahead this part of the forum site from now on its all yours profesor.........

....

EVERY ONE JUST CHILL, OR I'LL BREAK OUT THE SUPER BOMBER!!!!!!!!!

I told you...CORRECTION: I kwew it



I had post it,but I delete it,Again... the right way & easy: Select all\ right click of the mouse\scale move the mouse until this planes covers in Meters ( set units in meters) about two or 3 quares(grids) of Gmax the smallest ones, that's about the size,..Export it put in the runway & calculate the size little bigger little smaller ,export the mdl as many posible until you reach the right size & position above the floor
