When I was making aircraft for FlightGear I just used to save the geometry in .OBJ format using the 'Save As' menu item. Once the 'Save As' dialog window has opened, just change the format from Realsoft to OBJ (the Format button is in the top-right corner of the dialog window).
I used the .OBJ format because it's widely supported by other packages and I found few problems with it (although iirc, there were some issues regarding sub-object hierarchies, so I used to flatten the hierarchy before saving and then re-organise it once I'd imported the model in to the package I used to apply the textures and finally convert it to the .AC format used by FlightGear). Note that I was only exporting the model geometry though - I used AC3D to apply the textures and then convert the textured model to .AC format, and all the animation stuff was done within FlightGear using hand-crafted xml animation files. Saving in .OBJ format also works for getting your model geometry in to Blender as Blender has no problems importing .OBJ format objects. Lol - though whether you can make sense of Blender's weird interface is a different issue :) I've never used Ogre so I've no idea what formats it supports, but I' be surprised if .OBJ isn't one of them. (I'm still using V5.1 on Linux here too, but hope to have scraped the money together for V6 soon - sadly long-term unemployed, so even though the upgrade isn't expensive the money is a bit of an issue) LeeE On Tuesday 21 April 2009, Jouni Hätinen wrote: > Thanks a lot!
