This must be a square ("quad") as opposed to a triangle.if you use triangles as a panel, chaos will happpen. (sorry the overhead still has guages, i will remove the overhead part and make it simply a single piece panel.)Ĩ) take this png and put it in a special folder called -PANELS- inside the main cockpit folder.ĩ) in AC3D draw a square in front of the pilot where the panel would be.
AC3D CONSTRAIN TO TRIANGLE MANUAL
this will export the airplanes shape as an object format file labeled "aircraft" in the main xplane folder.Ħ) make your cockpit shape in ac3d using ac3ds manual on making 3D objects.ħ) make a png of your panel with instrument faces removed.
To do this open the airplane in planemaker, and go to special, then "generate object from aircraft". (however that may have changed – the ac3d 5 demo may now work with the xplane export/import plug in.)Ģ) Ben Supniks ac3d import /export pluginsĢ) put in your registration key in help>upgrade license, and restart to enable your subscription.ģ) go to the plugin folder in ac3d and remove the existing "obj" plugin because the xplane one uses the same name and will interefere.Ĥ) download Ben Supniks plugin from here: and place in the ac3d plug in folder.ĥ) export your airplanes shape from planemaker to ac3d so you can use that as reference for fitting your cockpit. Thanks to Ben Supnik, Heinz Dziurowitz, Tracy Walker, Coanda, and everyone else who helped write this.ġ) AC3D subscription because ac3d doesn’t export to xplane format without the $40 subscription. I decided to write this tutorial on single quad cockpit panels rather than multi quad panels because its simpler, but i may add the multi part later. and it appears to now be a little simpler than it was in previous xplane versions before 8.11. Im happy to say this procedure works, ive just tested it. This this tutorial is for making 3D cockpits using xplane 8.11, ac3d 5.0 and the plugin 1.1 beta 3.
