GMAX CFS2 Object Creation Question

The scale issue you see in the sim is a result of the unit setting being incorrect.
What you see in your screenie is the units setup tab under the customise button.
Below that click Preferences... and check the System Unit Scale settings
1 Unit = 1.0 Metres

The settings are stored in the Gmax.ini that is in your gamepack (if you started Gmax from the shortcut in your gamepack)
If you load a scene that has different settings you will be asked what settings to use.
What ever you chose the scale will end up wrong and you will have to resize the object.
Make a calibration box that is the correct dimensions in metres. Then use the scaling tool to adjust your object till it fits the box.
 
Wow this is freaking FUN!
Ok - Sorry about that, it's just that I have not had this much fun in a LONG TIME.
This is awesome.

Ok - I think your post with the scale idea will help me out a lot.

I noticed though "In Game" that my object disappears after say 1500ft.
Any way to correct this?

Also I assume that since I have not created or included a Damage_object line in my bgl that would explain why I can fly straight through it and not get destroyed?

I'm having a BLAST doing this.
