Hey.
I`m a beginner.
I got FS 9 and it works well.
I learned a lot of things.
Now I make my own airports.
On my airports I want parking aircrafts in the easiest way as object.
But therefore I need xml data from the default or downloaded aircrafts.
I`m able to make aircrafts with GMax.
After converting there are mdl and xml.

What I could´t understand is, all aircrafts has only the mdl and not a xml .
Why that ?
Is there not a way to convert mdl in xml ?

This is pretty simple to do if you have an understanding of how AI works.

There is a nice tutorial in the Avsim library (couldn't find it here).

Here is a link - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=64570

Hope this helps,
Joe

If you go to the FSDeveloper site, under the Downloads section are a couple of tools that will;

1. Allow you to take you MDL file and make it into a object library,

2. Allow you to take that object library created in #1 and place objects, generating a placement BGL file.

Don't know if you must be registered to download stuff?

Hey all.
@ meshman
thanks for the link.
But there I could not find mdl to xml.

@ JoBee.
Your idea is right I think.
But maybe after converting mdl to xml textures are included ??

Perhaps there is another way.
In FS it is allowed to declare an aircraft as static.

[fltsim.5]
title=Cessna Skylane 182S (Static 1)
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=4
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N882LS
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation=C182 (Static 1)
atc_parking_types=RAMP
atc_parking_codes=Kee

I am going to be trying  what ist able to do .
(Last 2 lines ) or moving the folder to szenery????

Say never never.

The last way I try to get the mxl or bgl from the aircraftdeveloper.
I need only 3 or 4 special aircrafts.

Thanks for help
