Is there a version of the 3dz editor which includes the I, J, K O, and Q 3dz files?

Pretty sure an attempt was made to do that but I don't know what the progress was.

I use a work around to check on alignment of 3dz's.

I simply rename one of the new files to one of the existing files ( after saving the original in a separate folder of course.)

This doesn't always work because in some cases, particularly propellers, the hard code isn't on the main file (usually F). Instead it is on one of the files ( usually E and G). In that case 3DZ Studio loads the file but puts it at position 0,0,0.

Can I ask, what are you trying to do?

There is a "3DZStudio 7-2016 .exe" in your folder Moggy.
I do not know if it does what you want it to, but I believe it is the latest one that CG uses :)

Thanks Jel - that version of the Editor does seem to know about DIJKOQ.

Ray - it turns out one of the French planes in my Dunkirk roster (MB 200) didn't actually see action. See I'm substituting one that did:

Farman F222. Actually the first plane to bomb Berlin. Starting with one of Karel's Potez models which is much the same formulation - except for the engines. The Farman is a four engine job with pullers and pushers at opposite ends of the engine nacelles.

Might need a bit of old-fashioned bodgery. 8)

Oh yeah, I see a bit o' bodgery in your future.

You might want to give my empty F method a go. It won't stop intra3dz R/S problems but it helps a lot with inter3dz R/S problems.

Slightly off topic but not really, tell me, why are french women so beautiful but french plane so ugly?

There has to be balance in the universe.

That's why I live in the South of France :)

A fair bit to do, but the general idea seems doable.
