Hi Lewis, As Dene pointed out, FG natively supports .ac format. If you edit your models in Blender, you can then export them in .ac format using the File->Export->.ac command. With 0.9.10, the easiest way to place objects and adjust their position (including roll and yaw) is to use the UFO aircraft. This provides a point-and-click interface. The UFO readme has further details on how to load the objects, place them, then output the data afterwards. Once you've done this, you'll want to add your models and their placement to the FG scenery database: http://fgfsdb.stockill.org/ . That way, everyone will be able to benefit from your work. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of [EMAIL PROTECTED]@! come-ons?
