Interesting link. Still, I tried the MakeMDl that comes with MSFS 2002
Pro some time ago without success. The *.MDL it writes is too
different, it is a new version. You might have luck with middleman,
which might enable you to intercept the *.x file that gmax gives to
MakeMDL. I did not try that.
It's been asked a few times whether we can use models created in gmax
(shipped with MS2002 Pro). Well, I think now we can. Micros~1 released
a new tool called MakeMDL that can convert gmax files (and DirectX
files) to MDL and BGL formats. For more details, go to:
