-Download the [[sdk:intro|SDK]] from the [[https://www.aerofly.com/aerofly_fs_2/sdk/|Aerofly FS 2 SDK website]]. The download is free, all we require is an email for registration so we can inform you, if a new version comes out that might be incompatible to previous versions. After the download has been completed, run the **aerofly_fs_2_sdk_setup.exe** installer and follow its steps. Please note the installation path chosen here because all the SDK content will be extracted to this SDK-folder.+Download the [[sdk:intro|SDK]] from the [[https://www.aerofly.com/community/filebase/index.php?category-file-list/3-aerofly-fs-2-sdk/|Aerofly FS 2 SDK website]].

 From that SDK folder go into the ''aerofly_fs_2_content_converter'' folder and execute the **aerofly_fs_2_content_converter.exe**. This will install the Content Converter which we will need later. From that SDK folder go into the ''aerofly_fs_2_content_converter'' folder and execute the **aerofly_fs_2_content_converter.exe**.

-We will demonstrate the export process of the example aircraft in 3Ds Max but it should be similar with the other modeling tools. You will need a modeling program to follow this step but you can skip it if you don't have it.If you haven't done this yet, install the export plugin for your modeling program.+We will demonstrate the export process of the example aircraft in 3Ds Max but it should be similar with the other modeling tools.

 The export plugins of all the different modeling tools will create an intermediate ''.tgi'' file 3D model file that contains all the raw data of the vertices and mappings and is intended to be independent of the modeling tool used. Think of it as the raw-Aerofly 3D model format. The export plugins of all the different modeling tools will create an intermediate ''.tgi'' file 3D model file that contains all the raw data of the vertices and mappings and is intended to be independent of the modeling tool used.
