How do I import fighters so that they are playable in Flight Commander. Im trying to practice for when I begin importing ships for my mod. Right now im using the wing commander 1 ship pack. When I put copied the ships to the directory, and listed all the models in the shipviewer file but only the broadsword was viewable. Any help is appreciated.
 
First off, it would be great if you could tell us more about your mod. This helps to avoid duplicating work.

It depends on where you are importing from. If you're looking for wc1 era ships, there's a whole project already devoted to this.

If you have an .obj file, they should just work out of the box.

If you're trying to use of my ship packs (as in this thread)

then there's a whole step by step guide in the Ranger's Glory site here.

Ok, my mod is Wing Commander: Heroes Legacy. It follows after about 100 years after WC: Prophecy. There will be ships from past wc games such as the excal and dragon. I used your low quality wc 1 ship pack to practice importing playable fighters, but every time that I selected the ship in the ship viewer FC would always crash. I tried importing the rangers glory mod to play but it doesnt show up in the game. Ive spent about a day fiddling with it and am about ready to through my pc out the window. Heh heh. I went to college to design games but my talents obviously dont jive with programming.
 
For simple missions, no programming is required.

Did you read the ranger's glory forum on how to deal with ships in the ship pack? You might want to use an existing Flight Commander ship, and just change the mesh file to point to a wc1 ship for starters.

To get better error messages, run the game from the command prompt. If that doesn't help, copy and paste the error messages here.
