Hi,

the creation of your own models for AFP/AFPD consists of 3 steps.

1. 3D modelling:
Find the appropriate freeware program metasequoia here:
http://ex.sakura.ne.jp/~mizno/metaseq/mqle21a.zip

An english Workshop for metasequoia is available here:
http://kimagure-hikoki.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index_e.html



2. The 3D data have to be converted into IPACS flightsim 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.

Find an english workshops for easyfly and aerofly pro here:
http://www.rodeo.rc-sim.de/workshops.htm

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.

Also see the links and workshop section at www.rc-sim.de


Good success and looking forward to many new models
