The modelling tools for 3DS Max are here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86205

and there's a basic guide here:http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116901

There is other info spread around the DCS forums as well, but some of it's a bit buried :lol:
It seems they've changed the structure of some of the files at some point, so some info is now out of date which can get a bit confusing.
Apart from the actual model and texture files, every thing else is pretty much done with LUA scripts.

Added some more schemes. These are actually T8 Hunters, but the model is still a T7. Correct model will be added at a later date, once I get all the external issues sorted.

Dave, I hope the upcoming Version 2.0 of DCSW isn't going to mess things up for you.

Big changes are heralded. *-)

DCS do have a rep for messing up dev's attempts at getting new aircraft out, without warning (or help when it's all messed up!).

It's one of the hazards developing for an evolving sim. Same goes for P3d, you never know if the next update will mess things up. It's probably why some devs are reluctant to commit to it. FSX may have it's flaws, but at least you know where you stand. :lol:
I've mostly just been working on external graphics stuff, so hopefully any changes won't cause too many problems.
