Rebuilding in Gmax with 'Modelconvertorx'

The MDLXs wont convert CFS2 files. You have to go in with a hex editorfirst and pull the SCASM code, them the MDL/MDLX will read the file. Then it would have to be converted back. I'm not totaly sure if the process would be applicable to CFS2, but it doesn't cost anything to try!

Is this link still around? Even with mdlx 1.3 some planes wont import. I was able to hex edit in the past but I no longer have the instructions.

MDLC is a 16bit DOS program so it don't work on Win7. You may be able to get it working with DOS Box but I haven't looked into it.
 
Okay.

Download the Command_Prompt_Shortcut.zip attached. Place it into the same foder as MDLC.exe. (I know you have mdlc_190_weap so place it into that folder.)

Go to properties of the Command Prompt shortcut than shorcut tab. In the shortcut tab in the Start in: box you will see.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 2\Editing tools\mdlc_190_weap"

Change this to the place you have your MDLC.exe. Now run the Command Prompt. In the window it should show the path you put into the Start in: box. Put the aircraft model you want to convert into the same folder as the Command Prompt shortcut and MDLC.exe.

For converting all you need type or copy and paste MDLC.exe /A *FILENAME*.mdl in the window. This will give you a editable SCA and MDLC.exe /b *FILENAME*.mdl will give an BGL file.
