I think this is due to using an old version of the OpenFlight .flt
Performer file loader. If your version of MultiGen is up to date you are
probably writing version 15.4 files. The older version of Performer has
a loader that doesn't load this version correctly. You can best download
the latest Performer file loader from MultiGen's web site
www.multigen.com. Alternativly, you could try writing explicitly version
14.2 files (see save dialog box) which may load correctly.

N.B. Sequences created in Multigen play automatically in Performer. I
think you have to disable a loader mode with pfdConverterMode to turn
this off and then play the sequence explicitly from your application.

Hope it helps,
Simon
