Thank you. I am proceeding with modding but I found problems:
-The helm and ops panels are not visualized in Nifskope so they are still parallel to the screen.
-When I changed the position of helm and ops, a hole came up in the carpet.
Little update

I think it's because helm/ops panels are second model added by 3DE in late TNG galaxy bridge upgrade, you'll need to edit their additions to model either. As for the hole I don't think guys from Totally games designed thisbridge to be ever edited and so they left holes in the places where stands consoles, I'm affraid you'll need to remodel those holes :(

I will remodel also the carpet... Little update: I changed the chair of the helm with the chair of the Ambassador bridge, it needs a texture that I will add this evening. A question: Do I have to ask the authorization to the autor of the Ambassador bridge (3rd Era Team) for the chair?

You probably want to rotate the platforms the front consoles sit on as well as the consoles themselves. Looks very promising though!

I tried to move the platforms but I don't think it is possible: they are part of the carpet and not a separated block, but I will not surrender!

Sorry for double post but I have updates:
1. Legacy gived me the authorization to use the Ambassador Bridge's charis, now I'm waiting the authoriztion of Viper.
2. I put a texture in the chairs in the first picture, but it has to be darker - done later (second picture).
3. I will probably buy a software to modify models: Nifskope is not enough for all the adjustments I have to apply.
4. Animation added to the Lcars panels, the classic "black wave effect" present in the first season of TNG.

i think if LC says it is ok, Viper will also agree...  but if you want to send him a PM all the same, this is his profile:

I PMed to Viper and now I am waiting tha answer. Until I will have bought the software to modify models (the bases of the helm and ops chairs has to be like trapeziums, the helm and ops shuold be more orizontal and so on) I will concentrate myself on the details of the texure.
Little update of the MSD, suggestions are always well accepted.

This is the bridge of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D of the first season, but I think that this project can be enlarged: is my intention, when I will have a sofware to modify models (I think 3ds Max), to make a pack with all the different versions of the Ent-D bridge seen in TNG:
-1st season (work in progress)
-3rd season (with the white carpet)
-Yesterday Enterprise (the dark blue bridge)
-Parallels bridge
-Season 4-7 bridge
-AGT bridge (the orange future version).
Those bridges will be relased as separeted and not in pack because the dowload would become too big and the time of progressing would be very slow (I  know that the patience of someone who is waiting a mod is not too much).
What do you think about this?

EDIT: Can I modify the name of the topic with this: "Ent-D Bridge project - part 1: 1st season bridge"?
Thank you.

wow, that sounds very interesting. I like the Ent-D bridge very much and especially your idea of creating all the different versions of it :D. So keep on the good work.
But i think, if we had so many galaxy class bridges, there should be a bridge submenu to select for example "Galaxy Class" or "Sovereign Class".

You are right, also because I thought to do the same for the Ent-E, but this is only a preview :D.
Thank you for the explanation of the topic.
