I did it, I did it !!!!!

I used an amazing combination and versions of conversion tools and finally I get a superb BGL file! The half ship is now floating in the Chicago bay !!!!! And look at those FPS rates! Superb !!!!! I am so  excited !!! ;D This is my first scenery object.



About the FPS, my specs: AMD Athlon 2000, 512 MB RAM, Leadtek GeForce-FX 5700@128 MB.

THE TRICK THAT FINALLY WORKED:

I used the FS2004 version FSModelExp.dle to get a good conversion, while used MDLCommander in the background to get it in X file format. Then compiled it to BGL with the FS2002 version of MakeMDL and it worked !!!!!

Congratulations! Looks great... is there going to be a textured version? If yes, you could write EuroHarmony somewhere on it ;D.
And did you take off in a B744?

Wow thats really nice.

Here some things you could add to it:-

[list=1]
  • Use the afcad file that someone had made (dont know name or I will do one, just need specs)
  • You could have those wires that they have on ACC's.
  • SOme really good textures (you can do that)
  • [/list=1]

Yes, really looks great. I do not know if I will add textures to it, cos it is really too much work. I wanted to try out if this works or not. Maybe later I will finish. But I will surely add an EHM logo on those rear "tail"s.

I could not land or take off from the Freedomship I just circled around it in slew mode.

Wires? ;D Which EHM plane is equipped with an arrestor hook? Maybe I should insert an F14 into the business fleet? ;D

I totally agree on the F-14 ;D
We could even make a business from selling airpower to foreign countries who need it (with pilots included, too) ;D;D;D

What do you mean you couldn't land on it? Is the surface landable? Or do you just sink into it?

OK, maybe I can add an F14 onboard as a static scenery.

The ship will be all white where there is not texture. If you have similar problems like me, you need to download these files:

-GMAX1.2 by Discreet
-MakeMDL SDK for FS8 by Microsoft (MakeMDL.exe for convert X file into FS8)
-GMAX gamepack SDK for FS9 by Microsoft (FSModelExp.dle for making X file and FS9 objects, and MakeMDL.exe for FS9 objects)
-MDLCommander by Moriarty Industries (for getting X files).
