Creating an Object from a Plane

[john82088]

Here is my problem, I am trying to convert my CRJ2 (from xaviation) with a specific livery to an object so I can populate my personal scenery with. I opened planemaker (v. 10), selected the CRJ2, selected my livery I want, and then went to special and selected "Generate OBJ from Aircraft". I then put that file into an objects file for my specific airport. I then opened Overlay Editor to select the plane, the name is there of the file, but no picture shows up. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Hoping someone can help.

Hi, John,

For starters, please be aware that what you are converting is not what you see when you load the CRJ. You are only converting the underlying flight model into an OBJ. Generally this is used as a started point for developers to further refine, though these days we don't even use that feature so much.

I don't know what you may be missing, but just wanted to put that disclaimer in there. No paint schemes or anything like it will carry over.

okay - thanks. There must be another way then (maybe not using plane maker) where people create liveries of their planes they want to use in their scenery.
