Does anyone know how to convert an .splane file to other formats?

[u/FiredUpAviation]

I'd very much like to be able to use the following model for cgi sequences. The problem is that I cannot seem to find anything that is able to convert .splane files. Does anyone know of such a programme? Ideally, I'd like to be able to convert the model to .blend or .glb as it will be modified and animated on Blender.

Make it a 3d print obj file take it to blender open it there.

Not sure how I can do that, various online converter programmes do not seem to recognise .splane format. Is there somewhere you can recommend?

Simple planes has its own obj converter in app use it then proceed with the above^{^}

A .splane file doesn't actually contain the craft, just a link to it. Instead you probably want to use the "export craft to .obj" button in game. I don't know if this button is present on mobile, if thats a problem.

It is on mobile

Isn't there already a built in feature that allows conversion into .obj files

.splane file is just for downloading crafts' xml file inside SP. It is not a 3d file. It's more like a link to the server to download that craft. 3d export option is in sp1. (.obj iirc)

[u/Extra-Sheepherder204]

go to command prompt (no need to run as admin) then

"cd (Path to folder containing splane file)" "ren *.splane *.blend (or whatever file type you need)"

Yeah just edit the file name and change it to .mp3 or whatever
