You probably don't have an LODs defined

Lods are Levels Of Detail, representing the model at various distances (set in the tbl entry).  The further awaya, the less polys the model has - thus, the computer is saved effort in rendering it.

I'd suggest getting a copy of cob2fs2 to convert your model - that works with single lods - so you can check it works in FS2.

(heh.  Missed my reply in other thread by a minute or so ;7)

Or  then you just forgot to add a local light and group it with the model? You don't really need LOD:s.
