lights in GMAX vs. lights in aircraft.cfg?

[JBaymore]

I just did my first "test" model in GMAX (latest version).

Two questions..........

I added some directional spots onto the model in GMAX.  When I turn on the lights via the aricraft panel's "stock" light switch or the keyboard "L" toggle........ the lights I have added in lines in the cfg file are there and they turn on and off...... but the GMAX added lights do not work.  What am I missing here?


second question.............

The aircraft in the simulator is about the size of the state of California  ;) ............   obviously I have some scale issues screwed up.  Any tips on how to set the scale correctly to start with and also maybe how to fix my gargantuan object?

Thanks.
