Tonight (MEZ)I uploaded a step by step tutorial to make a custom building (look at the attachment) with zmodeler. Included are more than 60 screenshots. It covers following topics- convert a custum .-BMP texture (one is included)to .RAW and .ACT- make a building using Zmodeler and this texture- export it in .SMF-Format- make a .MLF-File- resize this building with the built-in FLY!2 Form-editorNow everybody can make his/her custom buildings;) More parts are to come- join vertices, join objects and opacity maps (or how to make a tree for Fly!2- night textures and models- low polygon modelsIf you use this tutorial and have any suggestions (or find any errors), please let me know via the AVSIM developer forum. This enables me to increase the quality.enjoyHarald
