One feature often requested is the ability to export FS2004 aircraft MDL files as well. I have now set a first step in the direction of this functionality. If you download the development release tomorrow you will see that you can export both FS2004 scenery and aircraft MDL files. But before you get too enthusiastic, let me warn you.

The aircraft exporting is VERY limited at the moment. For example all animations will still export as tick18 (like they do in the FS2004 scenery MDL). And other more complex aircraft features are also not yet supported. My first priority is to get the animations working.

I think either I will let the user define the FS2004 style animation names in the animation editor (now FSX style names are used there). Or I’ll add some mapping between those two. Textbridge Pro 11.0.

So why did I make this very basic exporter available already? Because I am looking for some users who want to help me test it. And based on your feedback and experiences it will be a lot easier to complete this function. So if you want to help test it, just post your feedback on the forum and together we can improve the tool further Posted on by in,, .

Flight Models. AIR files are used to provide flight dynamics data, in the form of coefficients and data tables, that determine the flying qualities of an aircraft. If the originator wants to change something in a model, he works from the source files that feed into his modeling program, not by bringing back in a.MDL file. If you want to see what goes into a model, there is a forum here about modeling, and at least one web site or forum where modelers share source for the purposes of education.

Hi all,I understand when using Gmax, you have to apparently use a tool called makemdl.exe to convert the plane into the.mdl file for the sim to use. However makemdl. Rome Total War Editing Victory Conditions Civ. exe can't seem to reverse the process? & I cannot find any way to 'import' mdl files in Gmax. Does anyone know if a tool/program exists that CAN reverse the process to allow you to edit already existing aircraft, that were CREATED originally in GMAX?I am flying a plane that I would like to get back into Gmax as a basis to work on & change it's shape to my suiting. (Basically it needs it's appearance changing to match the performance i've created. -It is a concept plane, before you ask!:-) )I am a complete Gmax novice, so starting from scratch is too great-a-task at the moment, I'd rather import a plane & learn by changing it.NOTE: It is NOT my intention to rip off someone else's model, - Any aircraft hybrid i create will be for my own private use.
