Many [[FlightGear]] [[aircraft]] modelers prefer [[Blender]] as their 3D-modelling editor. FlightGear primarily uses the [[AC3D]] file format (<code>.ac</code>) to model aircraft, [[scenery]] models, and many other things. | Many [[FlightGear]] [[aircraft]] modelers prefer [[Blender]] as their 3D-modelling editor. FlightGear primarily uses the [[AC3D]] file format (<code>.ac</code>) to model aircraft, [[scenery]] models, and many other things. For recent versions of Blender import/export support for the AC3D file format is implemented as an addon. This page gives a few more details about this addon. | ||
== Blender | == Blender version 2.83 LTS == | ||
Currently not supported, use version 2.80 or older instead. | |||

You can report bugs with the addon [https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/Blender-AC3D/issues here], but please include problematic .ac/.blend files and their textures. | You can report bugs with the addon [https://github.com/NikolaiVChr/Blender-AC3D/issues here], but please include problematic .ac/.blend files and their textures. | ||
=== Linux (kubuntu 19.10, DeBIAN 10 "buster") === | |||
: Use: ''download.zip'' (or really make sure to grep the right tree (see above!)) | |||
: unpack .zip | |||
* read README.MD | |||
* do NOT install into ''/usr/''... since you will be lacking writing rights (I installed below my ''/home/(USER)/...'') | |||
* copy ''io_scene_ac3d'' into: ''blender-(VERSION)-(OS_ARCHITECTURE)/(VERSION)/scripts/addons'' (for me e.g. ''blender-2.82a-linux64/2.82/scripts/addons'') | |||
* Installation via Edit->Preferences->Addons->Install select:''__init__.py'' | |||
== Blender versions 2.63 and later == | |||
For version 2.63 onwards you have a choice of several scripts. | |||

== Blender 2. | == Blender versions 2.5 to 2.62 == | ||
For these versions you can use one of these scripts by Majic79: | |||
== Blender 2. | * {{github source|proj=majic79|repo=Blender-AC3D|branch=BL2.59|text=Version for Blender 2.59 (repository)}} ({{github zip file|majic79|Blender-AC3D|branch=BL2.59|text=ZIP file download}}). | ||
* {{github source|proj=majic79|repo=Blender-AC3D|branch=BL2.60|text=Version for Blender 2.60 (repository)}} ({{github zip file|majic79|Blender-AC3D|branch=BL2.60|text=ZIP file download}}). | |||

== Blender versions 2.4 and older == | |||
For these versions, Blender supports both the import and export of AC3D files out of the box. Just go into user preferences and enable the addon scripts. | |||
