MDL to DXF file converter

Enclosed is the mdl2dxf converter version 4.01

Using MDL2DXF you will be able to convert most of the FS95,98,2000 and 2002, 98, CFS1 and CFS2 MDL files to DXF 3D-file.
 
Unzip the contents of zip into its own folder. Start mdl2dxf4.exe

Locates your MDL aircraft by using the "open" command. Then you can click on the "convert" button to make the DXF. At the same time a TXT file with some information about the MDL will be written. Please read BGL opcode papers if you want to get an insight what this file show. 

The TXT file is not can be deleted. 

The DXF file carry the limitations that this file format impose. 3d-faces with 3 or 4 vertex and no texture information.

Hope you will find the converter useful. Be prepared to edit in a 3d program of some kind. Remember that applications treat DXF in different ways. A cad application like Turbocad make faces double sided. 3D Max make them single sided and invisible from one side.
