When exporting with this addon, notice that you should set UV and texture inside the material, not just inside the UV editor. See here on how to do that: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URMjoFSm5pk Video showing how to apply UV texture for Majic79 addon]
'''Notes:'''
* Before you export a model with this addon, make sure that you set the UV map and texture inside the material, not just inside the UV editor. See the video tutorial [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URMjoFSm5pk here].
* Inside Blender when you want to see the textures, be sure to set the shader to GLSL (or for 2.7 just set view mode to materials).
* When exporting/importing, this addon will {{Wikipedia|tessellate}} the meshes into quads/triangles.

You can report bugs with the addon [https://github.com/majic79/Blender-AC3D/issues here], but please include problematic .ac/.blend files.

When exporting with this addon, make sure you set the texture inside the UV editor.
'''Notes:'''
 
* When exporting with this addon, make sure you set the texture inside the UV editor.
When using this script, it is very important that everything is textured. The addon will silently fail if this is not the case.

* This script does not work reliable when nested groups are being used in the imported AC3D model (example [https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/flightgear-saab-ja-37-viggen/blob/FG-v3.4/Aircraft/JA37/Models/Instruments/Altimeter2/altimeter-metric.ac here]).
This script does not work reliable when nested groups are being used in the imported AC3D model. For an example try to import this: [https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/flightgear-saab-ja-37-viggen/blob/FG-v3.4/Aircraft/JA37/Models/Instruments/Altimeter2/altimeter-metric.ac AC3D model that Mr. No fails to import properly.]
