I have been looking to see if this has been posted before, so sorry if I missed it else where. (or if I should've posted this at GMAX.

It does this twice, I do have the export options in GMAX but it says export failed when I try it out. Thought the problem sounded simple to fix at first, But no dice, thanks for ya help :)

It sounds like you have FSModelExp.dle in ..\gmax\plugin and ..\gmax\gamepack\fs2004\plugin
Is this the case? Remove the FSModelExp.dle from ..\gmax\plugin and use the shortcut in the ..\gmax\gamepack\fs2004 path to lunch Gmax.
If this doesn

That did it!
It did say something about config files will not be read, but it made a MDL file. Can I use FS 2002 to test MDL from the 2004 SDK/GMAX plug-in? Thanks again FSEDGE

Dare I assume you did the P38 tutorial?
FYI - that tutorial is nice, except for the little detail that the images are set 180 off.
What they show as "left" is really the "right" side image.

The "limits" are variable - depending on the user's setups.
I'm of the minimalist faction ... "why create a 4000 poly control stick button when I can fool you with a clever texture"
Of course, some detail is necessary, but from spot view, can you tell the difference between a 128-sided fuselage and a 24-sided nicely textured cylinder?
One of the biggest dangers in gmax is doing things just because you can.
