gmax to FS9 scale problem

Postby Ottopilot » Wed Aug 25, 2004 9:47 pm

Is there a quick and dirty way to ensure that models/scenery you create in gmax (or import into gmax from Autodesk VIZ) will be at the correct scale when you export them to FS9?

Also, if I create a model in gmax with the units set to feet, then switch the units to meters just prior to exporting, shouldn't that automatically export the model at the proper scale?


That depends.  If the scale is set in the Customize->Units Setup then it should be okay.  If you reset the size by Customize->Preferences->System Unit Scale->1 Unit=etc, etc, then everything will be out of balance.
