We will use the fs2xplane package by Jonathan Harris to first convert the model from MSFS to X-Plane. Then, we import this X-Plane model in blender, using the XPlane2Blender import filter (also by Jonathan Harris), from which we export the model to FlightGear's native AC3D format. Finally, we extract the lat/lon coordinates from an xml file, and place the object in FlightGear. | We will use the fs2xplane package by Jonathan Harris to first convert the model from MSFS to X-Plane.
