Mission Builder Download

The Model name is what shows up in the XML, when the mission builder places it in the mission.

As you build the mission and choose the Aircraft or item it shows the "short" name in the MB during the building process.

I often build outside of the mission builder and have learned always to use the .M3d name to get the aircraft placed in the mission.
But as stated you will see the "short" name from the XDP when choosing this in the MB..
an example of this is,

<AirFormation ID="6002" Directive="nothing" Country="Germany" Skill="3" Payload="0" FormType="echelonleft">
<Unit ID="9803" Type="eto_ju52_trans" Skill="3" Payload="0"/>
<Unit ID="9804" Type="eto_ju52_trans" Skill="3" Payload="0"/>
<Unit ID="9805" Type="eto_ju52_trans" Skill="3" Payload="0"/>
<Unit ID="9806" Type="eto_ju52_trans" Skill="3" Payload="0"/>
<Route ID="5004">

The "type" is the aircraft chosen in the XML, if opened by Notepad..Type here is: eto_ju52_trans
That is the Model name.

But in the Mission Builder as you choose the aircraft, it will show the short name from the XDP file
for this aircraft that is: Ju52 trans
I hope this helps..

Owen, re: model names,
.MDL is for Flight Simulator
