Task 447: .NET File Format

File Format Specifications for the .NET File Format

The .NET file format refers to the Vector Network (.net) file format used in X-Plane for defining road networks. It is a text-based format for specifying how roads, wires, objects, and traffic are rendered in the simulation. The full specification is documented at the X-Plane Developer site: https://developer.x-plane.com/article/vector-network-net-file-format-specification/.

  1. List of all the properties of this file format intrinsic to its file system:
  • Header: A fixed 3-line header indicating version and type (e.g., "A", "800", "ROADS").
  • Texture: Z-buffer offset (integer), filename (string).
  • Texture_Lit: Filename (string) for night-lit texture.
  • Scale: Scale factor (float) for texture coordinates.
  • Road_Type: Subtype (integer), width (float in meters), repetition length (float in meters), texture index (integer), red fraction (float 0-1), green fraction (float 0-1), blue fraction (float 0-1).
  • Segment: Near LOD (float in meters), far LOD (float in meters), start lateral fraction (float 0-1), start vertical offset (float in meters), start texture coordinate (float), end lateral fraction (float 0-1), end vertical offset (float in meters), end texture coordinate (float).
  • Segment_Hard: Same as Segment plus surface code (string, e.g., "asphalt", "concrete").
  • Wire: Near LOD (float in meters), far LOD (float in meters), lateral offset (float 0-1), vertical offset (float in meters), droop ratio (float 0-1).
  • Object: Name (string with .obj extension), lateral offset ratio (float), rotation (float in degrees), force on ground (integer 0 or 1), placement frequency (float in meters or 0 for shape points), placement offset (float in meters).
  • Require_Even: Flag (no parameters) to scale road lengths for even texture repetitions.
  • Car: Reverse (integer 0 or 1), lateral offset (float 0-1), velocity (float in m/s), spawn ratio (float), traffic type (integer index).
  • Car_Model: Name (string with .obj extension), lateral offset (float), longitudinal offset (float), scale (float).
