Scaling objects and object group

boolean operations are something completely different.
try:
1- export complete acf as one obj file from planemaker
2- put exported obj file into the aircraft folder
3- open ac3d, import this obj file, save as .ac file in aircraft folder for good measure
... - you should see the plane in ac3d now.....
4- import your cockpit into the same .ac file
... - you'll probably see the imported aircraft as a object group in the hierarchy view
thats fine - leave it like that, don't move it around, it may be best to lock the group to be on the safe side. when you're done adjusting your cockpits position in 3D space, hide the aircraft group and export as x-plane object. hidden layers (the reference acf) won't be included.

if you send me a private message with your email address I can mail you a really simple .ac file to get you started.
