It is not possible to convert models unless you have the original source file

thanx. But if i download a source file from this web site, to use it with flight simulator, for example a plane, can I convert it to use it under 3ds max for exemple ?

Is it possible to convert a fligh simulator source file to VRML or DXF ????

thanx

That would depend on the input file formats available to the tool you are using.

To the best of my knowledge the source files available here (or elsewhere, for that matter) are all in either GMax or FSDS formats. If the tool you use can read those and output what you want then the answer is yes.

Otherwise...the answer is no.

You might find a person willing to convert an FSDS source to .dxf...as long as it is FSDS 1. FSDS 2 doesn't have a plugin to do that (yet). You lose a lot of info doing this.

Why is this important to you?
