i downloaded and installed the scenery packages from ODG - the offshore oil rig developers - i've got the UKEZ and the USAEZ packages installed. these packages put oil rigs in the north sea in the UK and in the gulf coast of the US.
Would it be possible for me to take some of those oil rigs and use them to replace the default oil rigs found in Alaska (in the Cook Inlet)?
Yesterday, I downloaded and installed ModelConverterX and LibraryConverterXML in an attempt to accomplish the task above. I actually only worked with ModelConverter, some of the bgl files from the UKEZ scenery folder caused errors and i couldn't see the models, others had error messages but i was able to see the models. I then converted the model to a bgl file and added it to my user library in Whisplacer 9.
In Whisplacer 9 i was able to select the bgl file i exported from ModelConverX, when I place it in Whisplacer9 and try to compile the file, the rig doesn't appear in FSX and i get an error message saying the compile failed.
So long story short, I am a complete novice at scenery manipulation, is what i'm trying to a pipe dream? Can it even be done, and is it legal? I don't plan on distributing this to anyone - it's just for my own use.
Thanks for your help on this!!!
