Also, when using the boolean function, it really helps to have all your templates attached to each other (one object), instead of being different parts. This will prevent the part from fracturing into unneeded polys.

Converting is covered in this thread. It was written for FS2002, but works fine for ACOF.

As a little addendum, I would recommend that you go out and get MDLCommander and Middleman which will both aid in the ease of creation. They are both small programs which interact with the main MakeMDL that is supplied by Microsoft. Make sure you follow the instructions for MakeMDL installation EXACTLY, as it is a finicky program that will only work when everything is installed correctly.

There is a long way for you to go, but the end result is worth it . . .

Check the first and last CDs. It should be listed under the "extras" folder.

If you still can't find it, then go to www.turbosquid.com and download it there. Just remember two things:

1. FS2002PE only has the older version
2. Turbosquid has the newer version but requires a free account.
