im new to all this ,,,,

as part of my job i make 3d models of aircrafts in Mechanical Desktop/AutoCAD  or solid edge.

Now i want to bring these models in life by importing them in fs2004 ,,,,

problem is that i havent made any aircraft for any simulator before ... so i would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me in sharing any links for easy and biggeners tutorials or any help regarding making aircrafts for fs2004 .. i got lost in all the tutorials out there ... and dont know where to start

also i want to use the details models i have made in CAD softwares ... i can export them in iges or stl formats ... but dont know which fs2004 aircraft making software can import them and use them.

any comments
really appreciate your help

Flamingo,

Welcome.  FS2004 and FSX requires that the model be compiled using FS's compiler (makemdl or XtoMdl).  The input to that is an .x file.  You will need to export in that format or to a format that another design tool uses that can export in the .x file format.
