Now the most difficult things are done!
I will describe now the last steps to get a new model for your flightsimulator.

AS_Deproni for AeroFly Professional

AS_Deproni for AeroFly Professional Deluxe

AeroFly Professional

Go to Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional\aircraft and make a new directory called AS_Deproni.

Copy the files

AS_Deproni.obj
AS_Deproni.tmg
Be shure to have no ‘Shiny =’ entries in the tmg file!
AS_Deproni.tmd
Think of the version-number
// version: 1.6.0
Deproni.bmp
000000000.bmp
176176176.bmp
and
255000000.bmp
from your construction folder to the new folder AS_Deproni.

To see the new model in the window Load aircraft you must create a preview picture called Thumb.bmp with the size 128 x 128 pixel and move it to the same folder.

Creating the preview picture Thumb.bmp

Open Meta and load the file AS_Deproni.mqo.
Be shure to have deactivated the grid (YZ, ZX, XY) and the Ax from the View Panel.
On top of your working area only the button Fc should be pressed.
Now zoom, move and rotate the airplane to a sight you would like to have as preview picture.

Open an image editor, e. G. PAINT. Press the Print key on your keyboard. Change to PAINT and get the picture with Edit / paste.

Cut out a square with your Deproni in it.

Save the piture with Edit / copy (or cut) and open a new file. Copy the Deproni with Edit / paste. Set the size of the new picture to 512 x 512.

Move the Deproni to the middle of the picture and zoom it down to a size of 128 x 128 pixel.

Save it as Thumb.bmp into your AS_Deproni folder.

Now you can start AFP and in the window Load aircraft you will find the Deproni:

After loading you will see this:

Pressing Fly will give you that:

Now you already can start the Deproni, but it will not fly very well. We have to do a Finetuning.

AeroFly Professional Deluxe

Go to Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe\aircraft and make a new directory called AS_Deproni.

Copy the files

AS_Deproni.obj
AS_Deproni.tmg
AS_Deproni.tmd
Deproni.bmp
000000000.bmp
176176176.bmp
and
255000000.bmp
from your construction folder to the new folder AS_Deproni.

Create the preview picture for the menu Load aircraft and move it to the new folder.

For the AFPD you need two more files: a bitmap with 256 x 256 pixel called
preview-AS_Deproni.bmp
and a textfile called
preview-AS_Deproni.txt.
In this textfile you can give a short decription of your model. Both will appear in the Load aircraft menu.

After loading you will see this:

After pressing Fly it looks like that:

Here we have the same problem as with AFP: Deproni will fly, but not very well. We have to do a Finetuning.
