Gentelmans! there's gotta be a way to extract VC from *.mdl or at least to built them and integrated into *.mdl aircraft models,I cant flight  such many beautiful planes, i got so used to flight in this way and as i see many of you has the same problem, why we can't import these kind of files i mean*.mdl into gmax,3d studio max, what kind of protections do it has you can import *.mdl from counter strike,Quake, and many other games and if you see they have the same patron of encriptions lenguage there's gotta to be a way my friends.

can you imagine if someone desigh a software to built virtual cockpits by you, me,and and option at the end to be Fusioned with:Browse/aircraft/meljet/model/*.mdl
ahhhh It would be a dream

Lets hope fs10 has a cure....
Theres gotta be a way, i agree... but some boffin will come up with the answer

Or you could design the entire thing yourself! I for one only started to design my own after wanting more in an FS addon aircraft.

It can be very pleasurable. It can also be frustrating, but the pleasure outweighs the pain!  ;)

There's no protection on the .mdl file. It simply a hex file that can be read by any hex editor. The graphics editing program (FS SDK or GMax etc.) is simply a visual GUI for editing and compiling hex files. The problem is however editing the hex source code. If you are really up on your programming skills and know hex editing inside and out then it's concievably possible to open a .mdl file and edit in a VC but the effort and time doing so would surpass the effort and time of designing a whole new model in a graphic editing program from scratch so the point is moot.
