hehehe just converted the shadow spitfire the zephyr the sentri and the frazi I know they work They are dysplayed correctly In the Ships database but I cannot play any mission yet because My DVD has been relocated to my new PC wich is going to be ready next week afeter a... (how should I put this?) accident The cd I have on My celery 400 doenst read FS2 disks (typical of creative drives...:mad so I MIGHT need a volunteer to test these ships and post some screenies to see if the engine glow and weapons ports are correctly placed.
OK who whants to test them?
I would prefer a B5 MOD team menber.

it could have something to do with the fact that
A) my program doesn't and will not in current sight be able to understand DXFs
B) Even the COB conversion code isn't finished

I have suffered a setback on MODing after whitestastar55 and one other guy reported to me that my models had bugs, I investigated solved some but I foud that my frazi is useless. It crashes the game because kazans CS says it has 9999 possible guns and missiles ports. I did made this model from more than one mesh I converted. the other single mesh models work fine.
The only way my frazi wont crash the game is if doesn have any guns, just a flying brick.
Also found that Cap ships that are made with more than 1 subobject have the same problem. is it possible to go arround or this problem or this is the reazon why you also have buggy B5 meshes that have to be redone?ice? kazan?capt. white? so what gives?
