I'm new to jME, and have been working my way through the sample programs to assess its suitability for use in a Master's thesis. I have access to OpenFlight 3d models, but can't load them in jME. I cannot find any references to OpenFlight models in the forums either, and I was wondering if I am overlooking something obvious, or is this format simply not supported. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Not that I know of…
Maybe you can convert OpenFlight to a model format that jME does support?
At a glance I found this:
http://www.okino.com/conv/filefrmt.htm
However, it costs like $400 to buy. If you search around a bit further I bet you can find a simple converter that will convert to something like 3DS or MD5 from the OpenFlight format.

llama/darkfrog,
I found the Okino one too, but I haven't found anything freely available. OpenSceneGraph has a converter, but only for its own osg/ive format. The clients that I work with (all military) only use MultiGen's OpenFlight models, so I guess I have a problem. Thanks for the feedback.
I guess you'll have to write an importer then… the name does seem to suggest it's an open format 
apparently blender can import those and it's free
good luck

mcbeth,
I tried Blender and, yes, I can convert the models to 3ds format. I haven't figured out how to export the textures with the models, but at least I have a way ahead. THANK YOU.
unless your models have some tranform animation I would really recommend .obj its the best for statics IMHO.
mcbeth,
I tried it as an obj file and the texture exported properly. Back in business. Thank you very much.
