I would like to know also. It would be cool if I could model a P-40, F8F Bearcat, or F6F Hellcat for AFPD.

Design of your own models for AFPD consists of 3 steps.

1. 3D modelling:
Find the appropriate freeware program metasequoia here:
http://www.metaseq.net/english/index.html

An english Workshop for metasequoia is available here:

2. The 3D data have to be converted into IPACS geometry format:
Get the free converter by an email to [email protected], include your name and address.

An english workshop for use of the converter is here:

3. Working out the flight model:
You have to modify both the TMG and TMD files manually.
I suggest to use Microsoft Wordpad, which is included on all windows pcs.

I suggest to start with an simple trainer model or a glider and do not recommend a complicated scale model with lots of extra functions.

Good success and looking forward to many new models
