August 9, 200421 yr 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 My site: www.martinstrong.com/FS_Project.htm
August 9, 200421 yr Gary,I think the configuration settings should do the trick. In there is a default setting for meters.BTW what happened to KLIT?RegardsShez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"
August 9, 200421 yr Author 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 Gary Hayes My Youtube No i'm not a "real" pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
August 9, 200421 yr Commercial Member 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?
