Did you also load the hardpoint?

TBH, I'm not that well versed in MPE. ^_^'

I had a problem similar to that once.
What I did was delete the entire SDK folder, and re-extract the sdk archive.
Fire up MPE and tried it. It worked for any ship I wanted to modify.

Try it and see. Otherwise I'm stumped  :lol:

If that's the case, wouldn't you have to define such properties?

Load the model, then go to Property > Show Template List. Then select the type of System/Subsystem you want, then click ok. THEN you can add property, but only the ones you've defined in the Template list.

I hope this helps :)

Another question: When you click add property, is your sub menu on the right selected on scene root?

eg.  the white box on the right with the word "+noname" in it should read
"-noname
        -noname                                                                                                             
            +scene root"

and have scene root selected.

also - i would recommend going thru BCU (trying the search function), as there are alot of threads that describe in detail how to use MPE...
going thru the FF forums (search function there also) will yield quite a bit of information also...
