Thank you for your Blender add-on. I like a lot and have been using it for now just to create scenery inside blender. This is a request more than other thing. Do you think it is possible to include an Xplane .obj import. Right now, I have to use Model Converter X as a bridge to import Xplane objects into blender.

Thank you very much indeed for your work.

The big new feature here allows users to make lights much faster. Aiming is done for you, and it works out math for you as well for things like WIDTH. No filling in text boxes. Also using the color picker to pick your color is much more fun. It makes the whole thing much more beginner friendly not to have to look up anything besides the light’s name.

It does not make a way to make new lights in X-Plane

What does it do exactly? Does it an enhancement for runway , Papi lights or aircraft external lights which are already dull in xplane?

Works fine so far with Blender 2.83.1 LTS, As I’m working on a plane right now, and everything exported correctly, Plus the new lights feature, works correctly as well.

I have not personally tested Blender 2.83 yet, but others have and told me it works well. Blender does offer downloads of any of its older versions back to even its earliest days (https://www.blender.org/download/previous-versions/). If it fails with Blender 2.83 please tell me! Thanks for installing XPlane2Blender!

I am confused about versions.
I can only find the newest Blender version 2.83.1.
Is that okay to use with the XPlane2Blender v4.0.0-beta.2 (that installed fine) ?
Regards
Chris

If you like to or want to make 3D models for X-Plane, then this is a post for you. If you do not want to do that, then this isn’t relevant. No need to install or download anything!
