I am trying to read a flight file so that I can copy my
geometry data into my own data format for collision detection,
but I'm having trouble.

I have a copy of MultiGen's OpenFlight spec, but I find it to
be somewhat lacking. (One little example couldn't be too hard
to include, you would think.)

A call to MultiGen proved fruitless. I can't imagine that they
don't have a simple parsing code, even just a text dump would
be great. Do they really want this to be an open format?

For the ridiculous price of MultiGen's software, one would think that
help in using their now "open" file format would be a little easier
to come by.

OK, enough MultiGen bashing.

Anyone know where I might find a flight parser, or a better written
spec?
