Please see the first message of this thread for the download links. http://www.inivis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7032

Previous versions of the plugin could cause hangs and slowdowns when updating some objects. This one has been tested by a few people and it solved the problem for them. It was also reported that this version feels a bit faster - I'd be interested to know if others notice this.

This is great, Andy, thanks! The hanging problem when selecting multiple X-Plane objects is fixed and it does seem faster for me. Awesome!

Hello Andy, congratulations so far for the 8.3 in particular for the new UV surface tool. Does the new plugin supports the VR magnet?

Mac Catalina and X-Plane 11.36 and 11.40rc1
I can build models and texture them just fine.
BUT..................
When I go to X-Plane or X-Plane Maker the model looks fine, but the painting or texture is gray default.
Has AC3D been tested or known as working.
What's wrong.

34b3 X-Plane addin
and 8355 ACD

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the X-Plane plugin installed. There was no "com.invis.ec3d/plugins" folder created ... not with the latest 8.5 nor with any earlier version. The new version 8.5 AC3D app runs just fine for me, there is simply no X-Plane plugin.

So I created the invis folder as named above, in my Library/Application Support directory, and that doesn't work, either. There are actually two folders named Library, and I added the invis plugin folder to each. Still no joy.

Is there a workaround for me to get the X-Plane plugin working? Thanks!

edit: This is the first time I have ever had a problem with X-Plane plugin support in AC3D, after using AC3D for many years.

It could be a file-write permission problem. AC3D tries to make the folder in libraries when it starts. You could try opening up the AC3D.app bundle and put the files inside the plugin folder.

Thanks, Andy! I'll try that. (I was already under the impression that it is write privileges, so I can also try to change those as needed. ... guess it's obvious I'm on a Mac.)

Does the plugin support LIGHT_SPILL_CUSTOM elements?

I am finding that they are not appearing as lights after import, while other lights such as LIGHT_PARAM and LIGHT_NAMED are importing fine.

Hello I have a question, I use AC3D V8.0, does the latest plugin support it, Or I should only use the corresponding plugin, with the version I have?.

Andy · 25th July 2021, 03:15 PM

AC3D 8.0 was 32 bit and AC3D switched to 64 bit at 8.3.

For AC3D 8.0 you'll need to use 3.3b3 (32 bit), which is on the first page of this thread.
