The OpenFlight^® file translator plug-in provides extended functionality to Maya to help address the needs of the Visual Simulation customer. This is done by providing a data translator to read the currently existing OpenFlight databases into Maya. Accompanying the OpenFlight database importer is an OpenFlight Exporter. Functionality that was found to be missing from Maya was added in the form of new node types that can be created and edited from within the Maya modeling environment.

OpenFlight is installed with Maya.
