1. Installation Instructions.
Unzip all the files in the package into a single directory (folder).
2. Suggested Program Locations.
If you will use this program in its stand alone mode you may wish to place it in a folder of its own,
or in a subsidiary folder of a main folder devoted to your various flight simulator utilities.
If you are using this program only with Airport 2.10 you may wish to place it in \apt210\MDLtoBGL\
If you are using it only with Abacus ASD you may wish to place it in \asd\SCASM\
3.Font Size Setting
Make sure your Windows display is set to USE SMALL FONTS!! Otherwise you will not see all of the screen.
4.SCASM
SCASM 2.50 is recommended for use with this program. It can be downloaded from http://www.scasm.com
5.Notes for Abacus ASD v1.x Users
If using this file with Abacus ASD v1.x you will find that you get errors with the SCASM v1.70 or v2.01/2.02 provided with ASD. At this stage you will have to get hold of SCASM v2.04 which was distributed with Airport v2.05. Use of this compiler with ASD means that any scenery compiled with it must be distributed as freeware. ASD v1.x will not work with the versions of SCASM later than v2.09, but when you upgrade to ASD v2.0 it uses SCASM v2.21 which works happily with M98toBGL macros.
6.If you have any other problems
If you are having problems:
Please use the Help file. You can access it directly with Winzip from the .zip file or once extracted it can be accessed by double clicking on MDLBGL.hlp in Windows Explorer if you cannot get MDLtoBGL to run normally. If you still have problems please ensure you notify me of the exact version you are using when you e-mail me. Please do not send uncompressed aircraft and texture files attached to your initial problem message. Trevor de Stigter
