I thought of something like this for debugging Yasim models a couple of years back (http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-users/2002-August/001511.html), but never got anything put together.
If this works in 3D, it could be used to generate simple 3D models for external views in FG. So it is not offtopic at all!

I wonder if there's anything that could do the reverse of that? Take an aircraft drawing (with labeled parts) and turn it into a DATCOM+ file? Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Galbraith Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 7:39 PM To: 'FlightGear user discussions'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flightgear-users] [OT] Aircraft Drawing Package Off Topic - Sorry if I am wasting your time I am looking for a graphics package to draw aircraft from my DATCOM+ configuration files. In that file, I have data available such as airfoil sections, wing span, fuselage cross-sections, horizontal and vertical tail locations, engine locations, etc. I'm not expecting highly detailed drawing, but merely rough pictures of what the aircraft looks like. I think it would help uncover problems in the configuration file. The input would be via a text file, which I can tailor to whatever is needed. I don't want to do any interaction with it (at least not yet). I fully expect to have to do something from scratch, but I thought I would ask first, to see if anyone has anything that they can suggest.
