Yes, you need to complete your Materials before exporting. Please read my Tutorial, "How to Skin", in the 3D Modeling Forum before asking any more questions...

ok i can export now
but how do i add the hardpoints to a ship
the tutorial said selecting face ect...
i tried that but i cant succeed in selecting the right things
is there a utility that allows me to place the hardpoint without having to edit the 3model within its wireframe

i hit another snag as well

check the image
it shows the ship from the demo + my ancestor fighter to compare
my fighter is in the left bottom screen
its way to small
can i increase its size without having to start from zero

okay i found out how i can resize with the flmodeltool but i cant get the size correct

besides that i still wonder if i have to make new groups to create hardpoints
(so is there a way to add hardpoints, engines ect without having to add them to groups

Yes, questionasker posted a link to hardcmp, the super-easy way to edit and add hardpoints. Give it a shot!
