Most people use PCS2 at the moment. Some people have mentioned crashes, I rarely get them myself, but it works about as well as Modelview used to.

Why do you need Modelview? It's outdated. Newest PCS2 has every Modelview features and more.

Untrue.
Modelview has three moderately usefull features PCS2 doesn't.
1. Shield mesh edition.
That one comes in handy when adding shields to everything that wasn't shielded previously.
2. VP files browsing.
I'm using it to browse my big pack of old missile models (from old 158th Banshee Squadron dump) and only for that (besides shields), but it's faster if you want to take a look at model inside an old campaign VP.
3. Descent files viewing.
I don't use this feature, but if somebody is interested in viewing models from Descent 2 or 3 files, he could use it.
Unfortunately, I can't help you, because I'm using Windows XP (it runs fine on it, maybe try some kind of compatiblity mode if there's one in Win 7).

Re: Modelview32 and Win 7
Shield editing? Hm... Didn't know about that. 2 and 3 are useless, but 1 sounds interesting. I have Windows 7, so I can check that.
As I know, VPviewer is as old as Modelview [maybe in similar age], and they're made by the same autor [autors?]. I don't have problems with VPviewer.
Can someone provide working link for Modelview?
Jouzin, you have 32 or 64-bit version of Windows 7?

Re: Modelview32 and Win 7
I have win 7 32 bit right now. Planning to upgrade my pc in february so I will have win 7 64-bit. But right now I have 32-bit.
I have tried to run it in winxp service pack 3 compatibility mode but no change. Still crash during loading screen :(

EDIT: new update I tried to run the default version of exe file without the support for high poly models and it goes. But with the version for high poly models it keeps crashing. Hmm   I will try to find my old copy of modelview and install it. Maybe it wil help :)

Importing and scaling the mesh.
That's a strict subset of what PCS2 can do now.

Re: Modelview32 and Win 7
Ah, right, now I see how it can be done.
Could you remove the message that editing shields is unavailable?
