Comments on: Andy Colebourne Takes Over AC3D Plugin Development https:/2016/08/andy-colebourne-takes-over-ac3d-plugin-development/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Sat, 20 Aug 2016 17:48:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Gary https:/2016/08/andy-colebourne-takes-over-ac3d-plugin-development/#comment-13995 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 17:48:36 +0000 http://xplanedev.wpengine.com/?p=7110#comment-13995 This is excellent news! I suspended my Velocity Turbo XL project almost 3 years ago, after ~2500 hours of work because:
1. The existing AC3d plugin didn’t support the new X-Plane 10 features, and manually editing .acf files after every export was just too much work.
2. Moving the project over to Blender proved too much of a pain.

Now it looks like I may be able to resurrect the project. Thank you Ben.

I need to change my email in my “X-plane Scenery Gateway” account but I can only find a place to change my password.
Can anyone direct me how to update my email address please.

Regards Pete

no longer exporting from max to obj, then importing obj into blender and finaly exporting from blender to x-plane obj…
this would be soooooooo nice 🙂

3DS max is on our road map.

But I do still wish there was a good working 3dsmax plugin.
Hopefully there will be something for PBR in the next version, i.e. the use of Substance Painter for texturing.

I still enjoy using AC3D. I particularly value the way one can edit every object on a UV map at once, rather than one at a time, which is very useful when packing stuff in.

Now I can get back to developing aircraft again.
