Hi All If John is using AC3D 4.0 then there is a problem using those models in FG.There is a crease statement that FG/Plib can't handle.So to get around the problem you either have to text edit all reference to the crease statement in the AC3D file (tedious) or build the model using AC3D 3.6 or earlier.I have gone back to building the models in 3.6. This is another problem that needs a reasonably quick solution. As we use AC3D as our main 3D modeller and the fact that AC3D 3.6 will disappear we need to address the issue and get FG/plib to run with AC3D 4.0 or later. Or use another modeller.Having shelled out for AC3D you can see I would not be in favor of this last suggestion.
Cheers Innis

Hello John,
It will help if you tell us what error message you saw when FlightGear stops.
Chances are that the animation script file couldn't find the object it was
looking for in your mesh file. But like I've said, it will help if we know
what the error is.
Regards, Ampere
