Hello,
does someone have some tips how to use 3DC with X-Plane (<!– m –><a class="postlink" href="http://www.x-plane.com">http://www.x-plane.com</a><!– m –>)?
For sceneries are used OBJ files but they are different from 3DC OBJ export.
Thank you very much.

One way is over exporting into 3DS in 3DC and then with conversion (OBJCONVERT utility) to OBJ.
X-plane is on my list for this year but I’m a little busy with rail-sim at the moment so it may be a while before I get started.
I looked at the x-plane export for Sketchup a while ago and it seems like reasonably simple format.
Just installed my copy of X plane 9 and so far I’m pleasantly surprised.
Graphics OK (not quite up to FSX), very smooth framerates.
Quite a lot of change from MSFS but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
After a bit of testing I’ll get onto an exporter for it, the file format is simple.
Hi Paul,
Something new?
Thank you very much.

Sorry nothing yet – I’m still getting all the plugins converted over to 3DC 8.0
I’ll drop you a line as soon as I get started.
OK, Thanks.
Hello,
do you plan to support exporting to X-Plane OBJ in 8.x version?

Thank you.

I agree with Paul. The file format looks pretty straight forward.
If I can manage to find a good way to test it, I think I’ll write this myself. I haven’t written an exporter for ages.
Sorry Richard -about 30% done <!– s;) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt="

Oh, Ok. I let you continue. Thanks.
I’ll find something else new to do.
X-plane is not quite as simple as it looks – one file per texture so there could be several files exported from a single model.
The next big one? no details as yet:

It seems Microsoft can’t make up their mind. But, I’m sure if this actually is released a lot of people will be happy.

Leos – can you add this small building to some x-plane scenery?
