			I would like to write an importer/exporter for MSFS files into my modeler.  Where can I find the spec/file format?
Any tips you can give me?
My apologies if this has been answered ad nauseum.  My connection is so crappy that a search seems to take days.
Cheers,

			Actually, I can't recall ever having seen this question before . . . 

This means (I assume) that you are creating a 3D modelling program, is that right?

			I think the closest you will get is the MDL format SDK based on the FS8 engine. Look 
here for the SDK.

			Thanks guys, actually I am looking to write an importer/exporter for our inhouse modeling tool.
I thought the SDK might help, but now I will look into for sure.. no more slacking ! 
Thanks again.
