With the UFO you can place 3D objects in the FlightGear scenery (see Placing 3D Objects with the UFO). The UFO is not shown to other users over the MP network.
The UFO debuted in September 2002, with FlightGear 0.8.0.
Export
Exported data are written to:
- Object positions e: $FG HOME/Export/ufo-model-export.xml
- Flightplan n: $FG HOME/Export/ufo-flightplan-export.xml
Note for Mac: $FG HOME is a hidden directory. To enable viewing of the xml file from the Finder application:
- Choose "Go" from the Finder menu
- Choose "Go to Folder..."
- Key in the folder pathname as given above
- Replace (username) with your Mac user name
- Do not key in "ufo-model-export.xml"
- Click "Go"
- Select the "Export" sub-directory
Import
To import and continue working on previously saved You can later reload the XML file with --config= command-line parameter:
Example for Linux:
fgfs --config=$HOME/.fgfs/Export/ufo-model-export.xml
In Windows, this is done using the Advanced dialog, found on the last page of the FGRun GUI.
- Click Advanced
- Select General
- Locate the field Config and click ...
- Browse to the ufo-model-export.xml file and click OK.
