That game being Airport Tycoon 3. I'm the same guy who started up an Airport tycoon 3 Forum here: http://www.hostingphpbb.com/forum/?mforum=apt3

My goal was to mod the game to make it better, that's what mods do right? But I am very inexperienced, and up till now, none of the members are modders so I am calling out for help! I know enough to tell you what the file formats are for the game and such, but I'm not sure on how to tap into them to fix the game. Is there anyone who is willing to help, at least in teaching us how to mod the game? It would be greatly appreciated by all of us, and hey maybe you may even like the game and help mod the game!

Well, I don't know, but I know that if you download the AT3 patch then navgate to the program files folder, you can modify plane, airline and building properties. 3D files are stuff I can never do. Yet.

    Well so far thats all we have but I delved deeper within those files and found the actual model files and property files. The thing is the models are in .dff format and there is a very limited amount of programs that can handle that format. I know Zmodeler does, but it is geared more towards GTA modding, not Airport Tycoon and I 'm pretty sure they are not compatible. So if any one is good with programing and such we need either a program that we can use to create or edit .dff models or a plugin for an already existing program like gmax? We just need people who are experienced in getting deep into game files and being able to mod them such as with the NAM in SimCity.
