Help! aircraft modification

Post by Andrea88_italy »

I don't know if this argument is valid, but I would like to ask you if you can modify a ready-made model with ModelConverterX: the model in question is an S-64E from Hovercontrol and I would like to transform it into S-64F in the Italian version with the radome and with the two wheels in the side carriages.

in the first images the S-64E of Hovercontrol, I highlighted the missing parts for the "F" version.
Below instead photos of the real S-64F

I will answer this in two parts, on different topics.

Firstly, unless you are the author of the model, or have permission from him, then you shouldn't modify it in any way. That being said if it is for your own use and you never make it available to anyone else then there is nothing to stop you making modifications.

On the second question of the modifications that you wish to make then you can't do that with MCX. You can convert it for use in other flt sims, you can modify certain aspects of a model but it is not a 3D modelling program.

You would need to mod the model into a 3D modelling program and then you come up against the original point. In short you still need a 3D package and know how to use it even if you have MCX.
