It's probably easier to export as a 3DS, and import into gmax. Tweak and compile from gmax.

Does Bobo's File thingy work for a FS9 model?

Exporter dialog configured correctly?
Here's an old writeup dealing with the FS8 exporter that should be adoptable for use with the newer versions.

And if I recall correctly the pandasoft created x-file requires a bit of hand-editing to make it work with the FS9 SDK. At least I mean to remember that I did quite a bit of x-file hacking back then. It's so long ago I can't recall all the details. Got to check if I kept my notes.

Thanks guy's, Ive tried those settings Mathias but as you say it needs some hand editing, I think Felix's idea is the only (easiest) way around it.
