Hello, I'm sorta new, just wondering where you get the model editor thing where you make your own bodies for planes...

nm, I found it, but how do I make it work in FMS?

[mikethewanderer]

after you have designed your model in Metesequoia and saved it as an .mqo file, you need to save it as a Direct X file (.x) for it to be seen in FMS (remembering where the three coloured lines meet in FMS is the point the plane will rotate around - effectively the C of G).
You also need to create the other files necessary to fly:
Sound - .wav
Flight - .par
Model - .x
Picture - _prv.jpg (so you can see the model in the loading screen)
Texture - .bmp (if you want to map a picture onto your plane it must be 256x256 and 72dpi)

Hope this helps
