Like so many enthusiasts, I recently discovered AAA and am amazed and delighted at the explosion of mod activity for the IL-2 series of flight sims. I am slowly learning how to model aircraft in 3dsMax 9, and have a question about importing new 3D models into the game. Reading the other threads gave me the impression that the importation process with Dr. Jones importer can be unpredictable - have the bugs been ironed out?

Being a fan of the Golden Age of aviation, I have been constructing 3D models of the aircraft used in China 1937-1941. I love the open cockpits and tear-drop fairings of the mi-1930s, and the Sino-Japanese war employed dozens of late biplanes and early monoplanes - sample shots are shown below. These are all WIPs and are NOT ready for release anytime soon. I would like to correspond with other modders to learn how to introduce new aircraft into IL-2 1946.
