And just to be 100% sure - If you open 'XPlaneSupport.tcl' in Textedit it should contain a note on line 27 about this combo box list fix on May 9th 2017.

yes I copied DataRefs.txt & Commands.txt to the plugins folder and checked the XPlaneSupport.tcl file. It has the note about the combo box fix. This is driving me bonkers.

I've attached a screen shot of what I am seeing with this file. In this example, I imported an obj file from Sketchup. AC3D recognizes the dataref I made with Sketchup but does not allow me to change it. The dataref imported is "sim/time/total_running_time_sec".

I then tried to make an animation from scratch just to see if there was a problem with the Sketchup import, but AC3D still will not show a drop down box for the datarefs.
