what plugin i need use to import .MDL files to 3dMax ?

I'd like to try to import some of the CFS2 aircraft and export to
the IL-2, and would like to know what plugin I use to import, export share to the IL-2 I already know how it works.

cheers

This is not possible as far as I know. Studied the subject for quite a while now and have concluded that it is not possible. But, there is an add-on available on fsdeveloper.com called ModelConverter X that allows you to convert an FSX MDL to a 3ds file. But it only works for FSX MDLs.

thanks for the info Brandon.
but I think the models in FSX, has many polygons, and IL-2 is very limited in terms of polygons.

you have the Model Converter X ?
please send-me

You have to be a member to download, I believe. Here's the download page link. If you have to be a member, I'll email you the file. You can PM me your email address.

thanks, download ready 

ok, everything works perfectly.
but I have another question, is there any way to transform models of CFS2 or FS2002 in FSX, so I can export to 3dmax?

No.  Different file formats.

IFF what you are looking for is the basic mesh - there are a number of sites, (Simviation is one of them) where different source files (inlcuding gmax files) are offered.

Are you looking for specific models that are "missing"  from IL-2?

INteresting set.... if they;re basically low poly meshes (whereas now FSX practically BEGS for details to be modelled)  They should be easy to model...

I think I'll have to take a look at the plugins myself.
