I have deluxe and acceleration installed...

I got Gmax working but...
I did a search throught everything (even the hidden places) and the is no SDK anywhere (That shows up anyway).

Help would be appreciated,
Shadow

Search In DVD1,This is not installed with FSX game ,this is a separately EXTRA feature that brings FSX Deluxe or Gold edition then you have to download FSX-SDK_SP1 and SDK SP2(the disk of acceleration has Sp2)

Tell me something if you have GOLD EDITION you don't need acceleration

Ok... umm does SP2 come with gold edition? I know Sp 1 does...

You do have to calm do ,you have many post ,AND what was the thing you want it with Bill Lions Lear? It works fine to me!

And what does DTXBmp is a multiple Bitmap tool IN ONE OF YOU MULTIPLE THREAD OPEN HERE,YOU ASKED
,you can create an alpha chanels in bitmaps, compress into BMP-DTX1,2,3,4,5 BUT YOU CAN NOT USE THE DDS TOOL OF THIS SOFTWARE for FSX at all cost ,IT doesn't work,YOU NEED TO SEARCH IMAGETOOL.exe IN FSX-SDK TO COMPRESS INTO DDS-DTX5

Do You Have Paint Shop Pro?

do yopu have photoshop? Have you ever done anything with any of these two?

Yes I have used Paintshop pro a bit...
I just have the gold edition of flight simulator... (not everyone knows its deluxe and accelleration...)
I don't know what you are talking about with the lear jet though...
Thanks for the info about the SDK and DXTBMP...
the only airplane (that I remember) talking about lately is F 136 Orbital Defence Interceptor Jet Fighter...
(The one under the one you were talking about...)

DTXBmp its free its a manipulator a graphic editor you can download it from here

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Editors/DXTBmp.shtml

EDIT: I just read it again..Sorry you mean the f-136 downlading now to see what's up

I also forgot to tell you ONCE you have installed FSX-SDK SP1 and 2
there will be an extra folder in
C:\program files\Microsoft games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK

You Need to export something into MDL FIRST of all ,this is not easy as you think and then save any file carefully Example the cessna 172 made a backup and rename the exported file as Cessna.mdl

Also make sure you have the latest version of DXTBmp. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm

The version from your link is long out of date.

Doug (Hagar) told you,In one of your many post here, Roll Eyes

could be that I assume you have VISTA and you have the DX10 Preview activated ,OR also it could be the Bloom this feature can not be activated using FS9 model you'll see all white..

No Bloom in display/Bloom

We seem to have gone off topic here. If you used the auto-installer to install it to FSX look in the FSX root directory for a folder named Aircraft. The aircraft will be in there in a folder named F136. Paste the F136 folder into your FSX\SimObjects\airplanes folder. Now fire up FSX & try it.

You will need some of the FS9 default gauges for the 2D panel & VC to work properly.

I tried that... and it still won't work, but this thing about Bloom and DX10 is a possibility... what I mean by "its not working" is that the aircraft does not show up in the selection menu. I'll try this DX 10 thing though. Yes, I have Vista.

Light bloom & DX10 Preview won't affect whether it displays on the menu. Make sure you have that F136 folder in your FSX\SimObjects\airplanes folder.
