I don't think you need a script at all... ? .x is a text-based format. You can edit it in notepad or another text editor.

My understanding from the tutorial--again, I haven't done this myself--is:

- Make sure your texture maps are .dds format.
- In AC3D, click File > Export > DirectX
- Open the .x file generated in a text editor such as notepad.
- Paste the code below into your .x file (edit model names and guids as appropriate)
- From the SDK included on the FSX deluxe disk, run XtoMDL on the .x file to convert it.

For the "guids" you'll need to make a unique ID number for your model. You can download a program called guidgen.exe from Microsoft to do this; there are also websites that make random id's if you don't want to download anything: http://createguid.com/
