Basics

MakeMDL is the primary compiler for objects created for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 9

In its latest iteration, available in the "MakeMDL SDK" for FS9, it supports input commands via a file named "makemdl.cfg". Normally, this file is located in the same folder in which MakeMDL.exe resides, e.g. "C:\gmax\gamepacks\fs2004\plugins"


MakeMDL.cfg

Sample:


"""[Settings]

LastDir=
SaveDir=C:\gmax\GAMEPA~1\FS2004\plugins

[Options]

Debug=1
ViewLog=0
KeepErrorLog=1
Keep=0
I8=1
I=0
FullMat=1
Deffallback=1
WeldPoints=0
Optimize=0
Flatten=0
NoAnimate=0
HasReflectMap=1
HasNightMap=0
HasLightMap=1
HasDamageMap=0
NegateZ=1
NoLeftToRight=0
SwapBH=0
Vis=0
Crash=0
XML=1"""

Of special interest to avid modellers for FS9 are the "Debug", "KeepErrorLog", "WeldPoints", "Optimize" and "Flatten" settings, as they will: - enable debug functionality (if set to "1") - keep an error log (if set to "1") - disable vertex welding and thus the dreaded "crumbled small parts" issue (if the latter three are set to "0")
