Rick, glad I helped someone. This whole process has been pretty difficult for me. I started working on this model in early september and was trying to import into realflight G3.5. First mistake was that i made the model in the wrong version of blender. Big changes after 2.49. I could never get the blender kex plugin to show up so I never even got close to bringing my model into realflight. Then I read about Phoenix Simulator. Watched the youtube video on how to setup the model. Looked EASY. So I got Phoenix. Not so easy. the best tool for learnin blender is youtube. Lots of great help on there. I am still struggleing with some of it. Materials for one thing. But, I have 2 models that I can fly that I made, which was my goal to start. Good luck
Jerry
