For FS9, you need to use something like PandaSoft's X file plugin, then compile the .x file with MakeMDL.exeFor FSX, you need to use the FSModelExp.dle from the FSX SDK, then compile the .x file with XtoMDL.exe Fr.

April 8, 200917 yr Hey oMDL is also used as the extension to a number of other game sdk's Quake springs to mind. i noticed that there is a MSFlightsim MDL option in my export menu but have no idea what its for, never used it.I use PandaSoft's X file plugin for FS9 workes a treat once u have it set up Paul Pilots track their lives by the number of hours in the air, as if any other kind of time isn't worth noting.
April 8, 200917 yr If I read the SDK correctly, exporting directly to mdl was going to be incorporated in a future update. I wouldn't bet on that happening now...
