Finally got my problems with exporting solved and here it is in the sim!  I still have a way to go yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...

I like it in black 8-)

I think you just made the 90% most difficult in FSX-SDK  [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] I congratulate you ,and when is black is because the image BMP or DDS has to be square 1024x1024 or 512x512 , also many other reasons ,like perhaps you forgot to put the texture compressed in the aircraft texture folder ,But I'm really (Honest) happy for you Kevin

Cheers and welcome to design world

PS: Type a *.TXT like an instructions of what you did to have a successfully export ,I do have my own instructions and read them all the time i have to format my HDDS

Thanks guys, I haven't applied the textures yet, which is why it's black.  I also have the cockpit saved separately, but it is done...  :)  Now I need to move on to the panel and such.

Alex, in the end, the thing that was holding me up was just that I didn't have it set up in a hierarchy.  Once I got that sorted out, it worked fine.  I did have a small problem with scale, but that was easily resolved...

It's nigh on impossible to see out the front of that thing during flight, isn't it?

[Wing Nut]

It won't be, once it's textured...  ;)

 You don't need to know what's in front of you when you're racing.......  also, as long as you keep the pylon in sight, you're not going to hit it!

I'm also going to add R613K (Pancho Barnes plane) with the original Chevrolair engine as well as her bird, NR1313, the Italian Mystery Ship, and if I can figure out how to make that funky looking cockpit, Jimmy Doolittle's Shell Mystery Ship, hopefully all as one package...  ;)
