Seems as I read somewhere that these do not need to be added from the new install if installing just to fly missions and campaigns and not to use MB. Did I dream this.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Highpockets,
I have never added anything to my MDL names. Everything works for me.
I think it only gives you more info on items when selected using MB.

I think you are right Highpockets.
That extra info can be looked at in different ways.
As my memory isn't what it used to be, I've been adding object names to mdlnames but, to the right of "=" entering a group or category prefix. So, all bridges now start with =bridge_xx after the objectdp name. I don't put every object into mdlnames. I save mdlname entries for infrastructure I commonly use in MB. Old mdlname entries have also been getting the "category" treatment, with prefix entries like AA, GP (gun pit), NG (naval gun) and hangar.

Thanks guys. It is a lot of work to add them each as you proceed through the install instructions in anyone's missions or campaigns. I just fly and get shot down!
