When exporting I have always used Middleman & in the options tab I can deselect weld.

Hi Nigel, Γειά σου !!!
Try this in order to "bypass" the 4mm weld limit in mkmdl, is just a little "tedious", but this system works fine for me (I used it in almost all the planes I made)....
Instructions are included in the zip file.

"WeldPoints=0" helped with the dreaded 4mm limit.
Dev One, mvg3d, Bjoern :
Thank you for your most kind and interesting HU, Gentlemen - must try these methods out! :-)

So Nigel,
The quality of the model in your screenshots looks quite amazing. Dwelling on the cumulative time it would take to learn such craft and attain this level...(even with your highly adept talents....), you must've been securing the development process beneath the ice for some time....(?)
Mind you...the predictable wave of requests (could'ja build me a _________ while'yer addit..?)...it'd makes sense to me that the initial explorations would be kept off the boards.
So while I won't ask you which models were built to reach this highly developed level of creation...( to avoid the tsunami of "could ya release those too...???", posts) but rather......I would ask; Out of all manner of subject, what selection process led you to explore the shape of an Avro Tudor?
Well Magoo, with things as they presently are in Greece, not much work for a designer, these days.
So I invented a job to keep myself out of mischief trying to get a good 12+ hr shift each day.
I've been very, very fortunate in having the best people around when I'm at a loss (both in everyday life and sim work).
One thing I have decided from the very start, is a policy of developing for FS9 and up. I feel there are many silent simmers out there ready to appreciate that kind of flexibility. I'd rather concentrate on well-detailed, textured and watertight models that perform well in 3 - 4 sims than Super detailed equivalents for only one specialised simulator. Just personal choice, i suppose.
Why the Tutor?
Good question. Again, just something I like -a rather unsung, interesting workhorse.
What's coming next?
Several ideas firing enthusiasm, but I really MUST properly complete the projects already being worked on.
As I've said before - marvelous to see you around the 'House' again, Magoo - we all missed you! :-)

Greece.
So beautiful, and yet, so bitter sweet. It's a place that's always offered the most pure energy. It doesn't recognize bankers, financiers, or bureaucratic governments.......but it does make people strong, independent, and especially artists, designers, creators; They seem to receive a particularly powerful gift from that environment. An energy that unlocks the most sublime esoteric. Look at the history.
Ahh.....you picked a wonderful place to call home, Nigel. Economic stuff comes and goes......you know the drill. By the time profit starts falling from the sky again, you'll be so muscle-bound from you present passage, none of it will seem to have mattered.
It pleases me to see you creating these electric avian. Previously just black and white images in a book on a shelf, (or at most) a unique example most coddled by this museum or that.
Here you've joined the ranks of the "not so many" who can bring these old ghosts to life, shove one into the cockpit, and enthusiastically advise, "go on.....go fly your brains out! You'll love it!!"
Yeah....yeah. You're right guy for it.
Cheers Nigel, good on ya.

Now that Milton's beautifully modeled TP Grumman Mallard looks pretty much ready for its much anticipated debut, here is a reminder of my intended work program.
I intend to complete outstanding projects in the following priority order:
1. HMS Bounty Launch - texture work/paintkit.
2. Bounty Harbour Scenery - finalise scenery for initial fs9 release.
3. AVRO Tutor/Trainer Package finalisation for release.

Hi Nigel.
Has the work program stopped?
Cheers Chris
Hi Chris :-)
Stopped work? Are you kidding? LOL
Getting in 12-14 hours per day - many friends perhaps don't realise the hours, effort, and sometimes even loneliness hidden behind these projects.
But we wouldn't have it any other way - it's what we do.
I think so, Robin.
The Connection between AVRO, Bounty scenery, and Launch will eventually become apparent.
For the past couple of weeks, I have been literally
en GAUGED!

Amazing how time flies when researching, constructing and texturing each item for accuracy and realism.
Heck of a lot of fun, too!
