Hi, it is not much I know about.
First I have to give you an url: www.openscenegraph.org You can download there OSG. It will also run on windows and shows nice demos of abilities of OSG. In the datas you will find a lot of examples and some .osg files like the cessna and so on. OSG is a ASCII Native Format- so you can easily edit with your favourite texteditor. You can export it to Blender: http://projects.blender.org/projects/osgexport/ But it needs a little bit "post process" work after converting like setting the ambientColor The animation (moving) are also working in FGFS-OSG. here you will find a example by me: www.hoerbird.net/osg-reflect-effect-example.tar.gz It shows the A380 partly converted to .osg with a fake reflection effect. I should give you hints about using this fileformat. I don't know, wht will happen when we finally moving to OSG: will we keep .ac or move to .osg?
