FGBlenderTools currently supports importing of BTG files and Aircraft files. It also produced shapefiles based on an imported BTG.
I've abandoned my custom AC3D script in favor of Nicolai's version. I'm currently collaborating with Nicolai to migrate his AC3D scripts to Blender 2.80. Import is mostly implemented (hopeful to complete it this weekend). I believe Nicolai is planning to begin the Export migration over the next few weeks.
FGBlenderTools is working well in Blender 2.80, but I still have more testing to perform before making it available.
re: fg2blender.... i've heard of it, but haven't used it, since it seems to be dead. Based on some of the comments in this thread it would appear that the author has already implemented some of my desired TODO features. I'll take a look at this package at some point to see if there is value in folding some of it into a common AC3D/Blender package.
p.s. it may be beneficial for us to start a Blender 2.80 thread instead of continuing on this Blender 2.6 thread.
