Hey i have some questions i would apriciate if someone could answear them. Is there a way to get models from 3dmax into fs2004, or at least gmax (that way i can use the tools in gmax for fs2004)???,secondary to that, but almost as important, is there a way to convert, or open fs2004 files in max, or convert gmax files into a format max can read ???? .I thought that max could do this natively, but i guess i was wrong.There is a gmax plugin in max, but as far as i can tell, i cant figure out what it does, it doesnt seem to do anything. Now, .3ds format is probably the most widely accepted format there is, and i think gmax can read it natively, but I KNOW that max can.So if someone can find a tool that can convert gmax, max, or fs2004 models into 3ds format, that would do the trick.Of course, max format is preferred, its a better format than 3ds, but 3ds will work, and is much more likely to be found. Anyway, if anyone can help me with that, it would be EXTREMELY helpful, and i think its something that someone here can help me with.(If this isnt the right forum to ask this in please don

Best forum to ask the question is the A/C design forum. One of your questions has a certain answer--it's not possible to convert FS2004 mdl files into GMAX or 3DSMax source. Some programs have claimed that ability, but either became "vaporware" or had so many wherefors and whatifs that the result was useless.I am almost certain (but may be wrong) that there are conversion utilities between the file formats you describe, but I may be wrong on that.-John
