With FSX De Luxe came the FSX-SDK software which included the graphics software Gmax, a downgrade of AutoDesks 3D Max 4. Trying to load neccessary Plug_Ins for the graphic software Gmax, which are provided with the SDK package, the plug-ins are failing to initialise.Can anybody help me in this regard or refer me to the proper Forum.RegardsLutz

Have you downloaded the updated SDK?http://www.fsinsider.com/downloads/Pages/F...tKitUpdate.aspxMichael

Use the new Desktop shortcut to launch GMax. ;)

Thanks Bill,for future questions I will visit the referals you proposed.After updating to FSX SDK SP1a and following the procedureeverything works fine.One other question: I was reading your system layout. Prettygood stuff. I'm battleing with frame rates and jerky simulation.My system: Windows xp sp2, FSX updated to SP1Pentium D 930(B1)3GHz, FSB 800MHz, DDR2 2048MB (533)267.3MHz,ATI X1300 AGP (8x)256MB, 160GB SATA Western Digital 7200rpm 8MB.In order to get frame rates of min 25 - 30 I have to reduce the scenery to low and no external traffic. No fun, just flying.Any suggestions?RegardsLutz Pansegrau, Cape Town

Thanks Michael,have updated the SDK everything works fine now.RegardsLutz Pansegrau, Cape Town
