Default Importing OpenFlight models
Does anyone know what is involved in importing OpenFllight flight simulator 3D models into Flexsim (file extn is .flt)

I guess this would involve converting files to .wrl or .3ds. Does anyone have a procedure for this?

Thanks

Kenny

I would use blender (www.blender.org) as a translator, it's free open-source software, and takes in a lot of formats, and exports to many formats including dxf, vrml, and 3ds.
Blender doesn't have the best interface, but for importing and exporting files it's not terribly painful.
Hope that helps.
