"Ego-free?" Good luck with that! :rolleyes: Just kidding! :cool:

 

I've been working as a sim developer for close to three decades already and have found many -if not most- of my fellow devs are willing to share their knowledge and tricks. Many of the best freeware devs hang out at http://fsdeveloper.com though.

For FS9 it is more complex, since you'll probably also need Middleman and MDL Commander.

 

I don't know if you intend on using the "unlimited export" technique (which I know little about). For information on that technique search for

 

unlimited export

 

in this forum only (limit to titles only):

For middleman and MDL Commander:

 

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=X_file_saving_with_MDLCommander (MDL Commander link in there, do not use the instructions there)

 

http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/Design.htm (search site for middleman, use only the mman.zip file inside the downloaded FS Regen zip file).

 

Instructions for installing Middleman and MDL Commander:

 

https://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Converting_from_GMax

 

Use only the Installation section and use the links above to download them. Your middleman zip will be called mman.zip instead.

 

Hope this helps,

PS. Instead of doing all that for Middleman and MDL Commander (and getting an obsolete version of Middleman, the only one I can find), you can instead download this file and it has all the renaming, etc. done for you, with a later version of Middleman to boot. Instructions in the readme file:
