As far as I know, the 3D models are encrypted in the game's files and can't be opened up outside.
does anyone have or now how to get models out of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 to use in 3d max for painting and doing renders of the models thanks in advance

This cannot be done.
However, the quickest way to view your skins is to fire up Il-2, go to the quick misison builder and assign the skin to an AI aircraft. If you hit fly, you can view the skin you made. End the flight, alt-tab to photoshop and make any changes you want. Save the skin and alt-tab back into the game and hit refly.
It is better to assign the skin to an AI aircraft. The game seems to remember the version of the skin you use on your own aircraft. If you want to view any changes in the skin you made, you must first take another aircraft for a spin or, exit and restart the game. The game reloads the .BMP everytime for AI aircraft. Photoshop does run a bit slower with Il-2 running in te background tough.
Happy skinning!![]()
