Lets see if anyone can tell what it is, but I highly doubt it since its fairly new and there is literally no detail right now.

If anyone wants to help/has experience in gmax/3ds with texturing send me a message.

Wow, glad to see your back into it Jordan. Its a great feeling seeing something you work on actually in the sim. And I'm sorry. ;D

If you can see the model in the sim then it has exported just fine. ;)

Perhpas an Embraer Phenom 300?

Its actually going to be a Hawker 4000.

And I ask how to export because I exported as a Fs9 model and I want to make it a FSX native model...

Looks nice, but you might want to take care of the dark edges on the wing. They're usualy caused by the wing having a very proeminent edge separating the bottom wing from the top wing. That's solved with using prevent indirect smoothing and autosmooth on the smooth modifier.

I still need to cut out the flap parts and such, hopefully I can do that soon and fix it.

wow! that begins to looks good !  :o

do you know how to cut Jordan and Mitch?
I mean to open the cockpit and landing gears etc..

anything just let me know

Yeah, I'm going to need a lot of help with that, and probably the animating too.  (I can model just not animate yet) ;D

In that case, you will need to use the FSX supplied Gmax within the SDK. Then just export as an .mdl and it will give you a bunch of options to choose such as DDS textures or BMP textures. If all goes well and no problems occur during the export process it should be a native FSX model, check in FSX if the model has self-shadowing. :)

BTW, looking good. 8-)

I've tried to install the FSX gmax but it doesn't like me and will only give me the FS9 options.  I have no idea on how to fix it.  Anyone have an idea or just wants to send me theirs?   :)

Good news: It's now FSX native! :D

Bad news: Smoothing issue...
