Gmax initialisation problems

Featured Replies

Hope someone can help me.It has been a while since I did any designing but I am now trying to get my FS9 stuff to work in FSX. One big issue I have is that Gmax will not open on my pc (running Vista now). On trying to open Gmax I get a fatal error as follows"Interactive 3D renderer initialisation failed" Please check your device settings by using the -H command line option.I have not the faintest idea what to do about this, can anyone help me please?RegardsColin

Have you installed the appropriate gamepack? If so, you'll have a shortcut to GMAX somewhere which activates the gamepack. The easiest way to change the renderer is to edit this shortcut:Right click;Properties;In the 'Target', add to the end ' -H'; (That's space dash H)Now when you start GMAX using the shortcut, you shouldnow get the option to select a rendering option. Play around with these to find which works best. Once you've found the best renderer, remove the ' -H' from the shortcut's target.

I don't have any gamepacks and cannot find them anywhere by searching the "net". Have you any idea where I can get hold of them?ThanksColin
