Was this a problem in the older plugin? Can you import any .objs at all? Is the WaveFront importer installed, or other plugins that might interfere? Are there any strange console messasges that appear in the DOS window?

(could a plugin be made to use the new stl format to smooth shade within x-plane using open gl commands????)

Not sure what you mean by the new 'stl' format...but yes - a plugin that draws using gl commands can draw smooth stuff. The X-Cockpit guys added a second file of normals to go with their OBJs and did their own code to get this effect.
