Adding ships??HELP MEEE!!!

[Daniel76]

 HOW do you add ships that you made with anima8or into the game?

The answer for you is very long ... too long for this forum.

Start off with going to the main Orbiter Forums at orbitersim.com. Go to the Addon Forum and read the stickies at the top of
the page. This is just a starting point.  I would highly recommend you visit Harmsway's site.

In a nutshell, you build you model in animator. Convert it to a 3ds file. Convert the 3ds file to an Orbiter mesh file with
max2msh.

Have fun ... modeling in Orbiter can be quite a career.

for Marvin abut smilies  i'm afraid not ! try 8 o instead of ...

for Daniel76... to put a mesh in orbiter isn't so hard... if you just want to put another "buiding" in a base for example..
you have to get a 3D modeler like animator .. do the job.. convert your model and texture in orbiter's format (.msh and .dds)
.. and learn how to config in orbiter a base..

BUT if you want to make a flying saucer.. or another flying thing.. you have to configure the flightparameters.. and it's a
bit hardier !
