As far as I am aware any scenery designed for FS2K2 using the
Gmax program
can not be converted for Flightgear as yet.If it was designed
with one of
the other programs that make scenery for FS then maybe.
Thanks for your reply,
I don't know if it was gmax. But its mainly these *.*af -Files
Hello Gordon
The af and caf are the same file.It just means there are more than ten
textures for the object.The af extension is numbered 0 to 9 then if they
need any more textures for the object they number them a,b,c hence the caf.
So the af and r8 are texture files and the bgl and mdl are the
