Images with one layer are usually black/white ( *.bw) or a mere alpha layer ( *.a), with two layers black/white with alpha, with three layers red/green/blue ( *.rgb), and with four layers red/green/blue/alpha ( *.rgba). Files of this format use different extensions, often to indicate the image properties, but in fact it's always the same format. This format supports multiple layers, transparency, compression, indexed colors, 8 bits and 16 bits per plane. These files are texture files in SGI Image Format. It can read and write *.ac files, but a written file may lack UV mapping or have other defects. This is a converter for all plib supported 3D formats and comes with FlightGear (see utils/Modeller/3dconvert.cxx). Compiling ppe may be a challenge, though, and it's only useful for viewing, but hardly for editing objects. This has the advantage that objects look very much like in FlightGear (minus shader effects and shadows). PrettyPoly (ppe) is an unmaintained object editor that uses the same graphics library as FlightGear (plib). The osgviewer demo in the Open Scenegraph Library is very useful for quickly looking at models. In Blender 2.49b import and export would be done from the file menu as File > Import/Export > AC3d (*.ac). Blender had built in support for importing and exporting AC3D files up to Blender 2.49b, and after that there are scripts available to do that of which some are developed by members of the FlightGear community.

See Blender for the main article about this subject.īlender is a powerful and free (as in beer) open source 3D model editor (among other things). Many applications are able to import and/or export this format: It's ASCII text and easy to edit via scripts or, to some extent, by hand. The format is preferred by FlightGear (in essence the best supported format). These files contains meshes, UV-mappings, texture paths and material definitions.

This is the native format for 3D graphics of the Invis AC3D application (payware with free trial version). See AC3D file format for the main article about this subject.

4.2 Size codes for groundnets and ramp/gate parking.

Yes, there is a dearth of "how to " tutorials for the new modeller, but then, there are friendly X-plane modellers that share the information. What you are in essence doing is creating mesh objects that are "mapped" to their corresponding object/part created in PlaneMaker. Import into either Blender (free, but a hell of an interface) or AC3D.Īs you can imagine, X-Plane has its own set of quirks, one of them being the the *.obj format used is NOT the standard Wavefront *.obj file, hence those two programs, because those are the two programs that I KNOW have X=Plane tools sets. (there's no way to get around this - consider that this is your graphical aircraft.cfg and *.air files) You CAN make your model "invisible" and therefore modelling accuracy is not as important as aerodynamic accuracy.Įxport your gmax model to a format compatible with importing into Blender (free, but a hell of an interface) or AC3D (consider it as the the offspring of FSDS and Max 3) (dxf/obj/3DS/a few others)

Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.

Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum.

Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.

Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum.

Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.

So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions: But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy.

Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this.
