Well, I hunted around out on AVSim and found 2 Predator and 1 Global Hawk setups for FS2002, but when I try to follow the directions on the page: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/fgfs-model-howto.html All I ever seem to get is the default glider model to show up. I copied the whole data from the Predator that I downloaded into a directory: \FlightGear\Data\Aircraft\Predator2. Then I went into the FGRun app and set up a property: /sim/model/path=\Aircraft\Predator2\model\RQ-1_PREDATOR.mdl When I try to run I get on the console output: WARNING: ssgLoadMDL: Couldn't open MDL file '/Aircraft/Predator2/model/RQ-1_PREDATOR.mdl'! Failed to load aircraft from \Aircraft\Predator2\model\RQ-1_PREDATOR.mdl (Falling back to glider.ac.) Httpd server started on port 5500 I'm stumped. The directions on that page aren't the most clear! Thanks for any help. I don't need an accurate flight model, just need the Cesna or something like that LOOK like a Predator. It can still fly like a Cesna :-D.
