You could always try gmax, its free.

It can be made to export to X-File.

Hey thanks Atrocities. I'll check that program out, looks very interesting to say the least.

Ugh, going through the hoops to get GMAX files into .X format is almost not worth the effort. Also, the methods that I know of (via FS Export or via Milkshape3D) are not free. Care to enlighten me? FYI, if it involves warez, don't bother.

Did you look at my link? For making GMAX export to X-Files? Third post down on the Turbo Squid forums?

Quote:

Going through all those steps just to produce an X file seem like the hard way.

Really all you need is the plugin MakeModelEXP.dle and MDLCommander which will compile to MDL format and allow you to save the X file while doing so right out of Gmax without having to jump through all those hoops listed in the second reply.

You will find the MakeModelEXP.dle at this link http://www.microsoft.com/games/fligh...dk.asp#makemdl
in the SDK.

MDLCommander can be found here:

Ah, I have been mis-informed. I was told by another person that you had to have the Flight Sim 2004 CD. How nice of Microsoft to provide the SDK as a seperate download. :-)
