hi! i've tried to find clues about how to get from 3dmax ( 5-9 vers) to FS without touching gmax but i don't seem able to find such information so i decided to post. 

i'm autodesk certified now, but i see 3dmax is wonderful for modelling but Gmax its not so much compatible with 3ds files exported form 3Dmax9 ( the appear very weird) so i've tried importing DXF's coming from max9 but seems like starting over again i loss so much data with that procedure, what i have to use to get my max files into the mdl format? thank you very much friends. i hope you can help me with this   

Thankx! yep i've download the exporter for X format files, then mkmdl will do the rest i get some errors, but that's the way to export
