Swingman´s Duck conversion?

[fde_bressy]

Has anybody already converted Swingman´s Duck to CFS 2, with appropriate Air and DP files?

I don't think so...

Hi,
I have run it thru MDLC and it converts nicely. All the animations are there except the rear canopy which can be fixed with a bit of hex editing to attach it to the front exit command.

However I can't get the contact points sorted out. When it is on land the wheels sink into the runway. If I comment out the float contact points it works fine. This is an issue I have seen with a number of amphibian conversions and I have never been able to get them to work correctly.

gavinc,

This is what I am using. It works on my install for both runway and water. Can't promise that it will work for anyone else.

Fellows:
I need help with the MDL. My MDLC will not work in my Windows 7-64-bit.

Thanks Voyager - I will give them a try when I have some time (summer and flightsimming seem to be mutually exclusive)
