Well, you can scale it within GMAX. Just scale it down to 30% or so (1/3.28 = .30).Did you export your model from FSDS2? You weren't very clear about that, so I am guessing. Anyway, in FSDS2, you could just change the units to meters (under File|Preferences) and then export it into GMAX.- Martin

Gary,I think the configuration settings should do the trick. In there is a default setting for meters.BTW what happened to KLIT?RegardsShez

Well I had set the deminsions to meters and set the prefrences to 1.0 unit = 1 meter but now it shows like 120 meters for height lol and if I change the units back to feet it goes to 300+ feet tall...etc.so now I fear I have screwed myself.Gary HayesNo im not a "real" pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.P4 3.0ghz w/HT & FSB..GeForce FX 5900 ultra 256MB..1 gig PC3200 DDR RAM..Sound Blaster Audigy w/5.1 THX

Maybe a stupid question but around 120 meter or 300+ feet sounds the same to me (both is around 120 meters :)). So could it not be that your model is just that big?Did you design it yourself in GMax or did you import it from somewhere?

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.
