Anyone know why the model is cutoff in the main screen in FS2004 (see picture below)? It is definately a problem with the Gmax model because when I load a previously saved version it doesn't do it. The model is normal when flying, it is just messed up in the opening scree.

Thanks,
James

I've seen this problem before.  I've never really seen an issue with it . . . why would it matter?  It's just a small cosmetic problem.

Thats normal on some models, make sure the 'adjust pivot point' is reset and select alignment as 'center to object'. It happens naturally if the pivot point is not perfect or your scale is off, though it's happened more times to me because the pivot point is not centered on the aircraft perfect. -hope this helps, SN Cool
