fsds 3.5 to FSX beginner question

Hi,

After years of doing no designing at all, I decided to restart doing planes. So I bought FSDS 3.5.1 today and guess what, I'm not even able to get anything to show in FSX.
I even created just a basic tube. It exports ok but in FSX it says 'visual model can't be displayed.
Couldn't find anything in the help file as this is only for FS9. I 'think' I've read that a part needs to be textured to be displayed so I wrapped a texture around the tube but again, nothing.
Any ideas?

I'm (trying) to use XtoMdl and have the NET framework, MSXML and DX10 installed

This is the report I get upon compilong from FSDS

OutputFile: _temp.MDL
Output file after modification: _temp.MDL
Creating output MDL file: _temp.MDL
CRASHTREE no granularity specified
CRASHTREE completed in 00:00:00.0156250
Usage: XToMDL.exe /KEEP /NOGUI /BATCH /NOCRASH /BMP2DDS /XMLSAMPLE /XANIM /DICT:DictFileName /OUT:OutfileName Filename.X

Thanx in advance

Nope. Just checked. The name is do.mdl Really strange.
When I load the the invisible plane I do get the startup exhaust smoke and the red anticollision light on the tail (Both from the default C172 I assume.
Panel cfg etc all is there...
 
Thanx to Wozza the problem has been solved :)
It's in the true sense of the word an extremely 'tiny' problem.
You need to set the komma as . and not as , (as in the austrian language settings)
