			The FSX Gamepack assumes that you have installed GMax in a folder "C:gmax", if you have installed GMax anywhere else you will have to update the "gmax.ini" file that is in the "...gmax\gamepacks\FSX_GmaxGamePack" directory (Right Click and "Edit"). There are a number of paths in this file that point to the "FSX_GmaxGamePack" directory and to folders in the GMax directory, all of which can be changed according to your GMax installation by changing "C:gmax" to whatever your GMax installation directory path is.

* Windows Vista: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK

# Have a look in this SDK folder and then browse to the following folder: "Environment Kit\Modeling SDK". You'll see the folder FSX_GmaxGamePack.
# Copy the folder FSX_GmaxGamePack to the folder <gmax installation folder>\gamepacks
# Copy the GMax shortcut from <gmax installation folder>\gamepacks\FSX_GmaxGamePack to your desktop.
# Start GMax only from this new shortcut. Try it.
