This is small kind of miscellaneous user guide covering all kinds of areas of O2.

What is the “Export Version” of O2 I hear about??

It is BIS released O2 release candidate 1 or 2, cannot remember, or one users (forgot his name) patched O2 (still release candidate, 2 we recall) which allows you to export and import those different model formats like 3DS Max and naturally the old OFP P3D format.

Here is the executable only download of this export version. Use it along side with your already installed (you have to have it installed!) final release of BIS tools/o2. Keep it renamed something like in this archive, so you can run this separately from the final version of O2.

Download here - 865kb.
