Thank you very much, but this version don't work here. I tried to open the .mdl file you use ( Blackburn Buccaneer and anothers) but the program always shut down, and the Windows shows me a error message. Thanks again.

OK there may be a simple reason for that. PM inbound if you don't mind. I would like to help you to get it working.

Hello Stormeagle

Igor sorted his problem by unzipping UMC2 into a high directory like C:\UMC2.You should able to open the test model fom there. UMC2 hates deep long file names so keep the models in directiories near the root like C:/model. It also doesn't like "." in the directory names that sometimes happens - edit the "." out of the directory names. It's not nice that the zip file is UMC21.3.zip so that could be the problem.

It doesn't do all .mdl files - there is an old mdl read under options you can try. Sometimes the undo.dat file it generates during translation might be OK as a .mod file if you can spot where it is having problems - some bad numbers perhaps. If you have a particular file you would like translating and are having problems then send me its location and I'll give it a go.

There is a readme html file in the download which might help.

I also have a very beta version with a few small fixes that is available on request.

If there is interest I shall start a UMC2 thread in the software section if that is OK with the moderators?

Thanks to Igor I realised UMC2 was available and a few people have reported problems - I hope it was the above!

Even though I only use it to a fraction of its potential, UMC2 is one of those handy little programs I don't think I could do without now (Thanks again PB

). ~ A dedicated UMC2 thread ? ~ most definitely.. absolutely.. yes please! There was a UMC2 thread before the move, can't seem to find it now.?

Been following this Dev from the back of the bus, and I was lucky enough to catch a documentary recently that featured a 'privately owned'

Buccaneer in South Africa. Damn nice looking aircraft in flight, and great subject choice PB.

Thank you Gearz. I fondly remember your original response to using UMC2. I think the topic vanished in the move but I'll have a look and start something if only to let this thread subside. Unfortunately my work is taking up a lot of my own time and what few brain cellsI still have at the moment so I can't get myself motivated to do much apart from lurk and watch the better focussed progress astonishingly.

Yeah the mighty Bucc is a wonderous thing. I have vivid memories of spectacular beat ups by the RAF versions of their birthplace. Spookily my current company has just had an enquiry from Thunder City so I may yet be inspired.

Gearz · 05-16-2008, 06:03 AM

lol coincidence perhaps, definitely spooky considering the infrequency of 'good' docu's in my neck of the woods. If your company does deal with the Thunder City crew, a simplified card model of that particular Bucc would be an interesting piece of promo material / P.R. ~ They could hand it out to visitors etc.. = motivation lol

Bowdenja · 05-16-2008, 07:00 PM

Here is one of my drawings........... maybe this will keep the attention span up

Not 'arf!

(Cockney slang for: rather a lot, really)

Excellent!

The airfix model was difficult enough way back in 1960something, never mind paper. Great job!
