The mdl structure is described in the Model structure SDK from Microsoft... check the link in my signature for the Microsoft SDK download location.

What kind of editor? ??? Do you mean something that edits the model, or something that edits the textures, or something that edits the airfile.

I'm just curious.

That sounds like what Aircraft Container Manager does - to a certain extent. ACM includes an MDL viewer. with which you can graphically place/move the contact points, lights, fuel locations, and enter different aircraft.cfg parameters.

Note that the current SDKs show the FS2002 model. It appears that the FS9 MDL structure is *slightly* different, enought that ACM doesn't read it, but other programs, like Abacus' FS Repaint, can.

right, but I saw ACM many weeks after I began to develop so I complete my work.
However, there is a little difference: I'll show the geometry corresponding to parameters (thoses that interact with simulator model) . It's sometimes very different from the visual model.
