I have looked into this a while ago. .bgl is a binary format and I thought of the following approach. First, decompile the BGL to a human readable form (sort-of), e.g. SCASM, and then interpret/convert the output to a 3D file format, like .ac. I found this: http://freesc.sourceforge.net/scdis.html to be the most usefull tool. It's Windows only, but it ran perfectly under VMware. It's a commandline tool, so maybe it can be run with dosemu. I found various programs to convert 3DS etc. to SCASM, but none the other way around. Nevertheless, I think it would be possible to write such a program, that extracts all kind of information from the converted SCASM files, like Synthetic Scenery, Procedural Scenery or Airport data. For more information and links, see the readme.html inside the SCDIS distribution. --Ivo _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
