AC3D Forums - View Single Post - Best Way to Edit Paint Scheme on Existing X-Plane Aircraft

I would like to take an existing X-Plane aircraft and edit its paint scheme to change its color, change the tail number, and apply an image as a decal.

I initially thought Blender could do this, but apparently it can only export to X-plane but cannot import an .obj TO X-plane even with the add-on.

I tried AC3D and was able to import an .obj file and make some change to the aircraft appearance, but for some reason even with the Xplane plugin when I try to save the .obj file it creates a folder but no file.

What software is best for editing an existing X-plane aircraft's appearance?
