• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Using Sketchup instead of GMAX or FSDS

Hi all,

I don't know if this is old news, but you can now use Sketchup (much easier to use than GMAX or FSDS) to create buildings for FS9 and FSX. You use Arno's ModelConverterX to convert from Sketchup to MDL format.

I've created a tutorial here:

Two classic airports have already been released at flightsim.com using it (Baltimore Friendship 1957 and Kansas City 1958).

Hope this helps,
