X-Plane .ACF importer/exporter tool
ACFTools
Here goes small external utility that converts X-Plane aircraft model to AC3D format. Then you can edit aircraft bodies (wings not supported!) in AC3D which is more cooler than internal Plane-Maker modeler, and import them back to X-Plane. From http://www.x-plane.com/descrip.html: "X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight model available for personal computers." Users can develop and fly their own designed planes, thus there exists ~1900 real & fictional aircrafts located in central repository X-Plane.Org, which you can now import to AC3D 8) |

Re: X-Plane .ACF importer/exporter tool
Worked nice!
Stripe planes from X-plane to Ac3D it's a great fun! :lol: There are any way to get them from early versions? Cheers! K-A |

To Killer Ants
Hi, I haven't used CLI since I before I stored my beloved Amiga 4000T away. Can you give me an example of the exact syntax for extracting a xxx.ac file from an xxx.acf file assuming that both ACfTools and the xxx.acf file are both in the same folder please? I am using OSX, the ACFTools docs are not clear to me at all. Thanks in advance. Michael

Cancel my request, I worked it out.
Hi,
As the subject says . . I finally worked out the parameters to get the .ac extracted from an XP .ACF file ( had to learn the CLI all over again ). Having dones that I found that every single acf file for the DeHavilland Beaver I can find outputs the same fault in the airfoils. Yes, every single Beaver shows exactly the same type and number of faults . . . I tried loading and saving in 7.63 versions of WorldMaker and AirfoilMaker and saved them but no joy. Maybe I have to use the 7.40 versions of the above . . . . Anyway, ACFTools is a wonderful contribution to the X-Plane community. Mike

No 8.x support for these tools yet? I am pondering upgrading AC3D and have a few planes I want to import into X-Plane. The planes are from another flight sim I made the planes for.
