The question is how do I get the plug in to display the X-Plane x-refs?

You need to select the object you want to animate, choose 'Make Animation Group', then (in Object-Select mode) 'Make Rotation' which produces a 'rotation object' within the animation group.
Select it and choose 'X-Plane Object properties' from the menu.
btw, you need to copy 4 files to your ac3d plugins folder.
XPlaneSupport.tcl
XPlaneSupportMac.p (or XPlaneSupportWin.p for windows)
as well as 2 files from your X-Plane/Resources/Plugins folder:
DataRefs.txt
Commands.txt
Make sure you use up-to-date versions of x-plane & plugin!
that's it.
