If serious consideration is given, it would be appropriate to make it visible only to the user himself/herself, like WarThunder's user skin.
@TunderTunder
Added the ability to embed obj and mtl (except textures) in xml.
It seems to be working generally well, but there seems to be a very long delay when opening the part properties. (This is happening because we are dealing with long text, the same as with text label images.)

This is still a secret, but may be added in an next update I am working on.
(Adding shadows to part lights requires interfering with the overall game rendering settings. This could have side effects that would detract from the look of some builds, and I am currently investigating the scope of the impact and how to mitigate the side effects).
@TunderTunder
It is technically possible since obj's internals are text data, but it would require modifying the library used for import, which would be tedious.
Also, the main reason I created this mod is to handle textured model data, but it is difficult to convert image files, which vary in number, size and format from model to model, into text to fit in xml....
@MisterT
The mod does that by overriding mouse input, so this problem is unavoidable.
I wish I could have taken a more other approach, one that interacts more directly with the camera and input system, but I lack the knowledge now....
@GainTale
Unfortunately, I don't know of any.
A similar method is to connect the camera to a Pitch,Roll rotator and use mouse as joystick.
But this method is limited in angles, so I don't think it will meet your expectations...
@MVC
Perhaps your method is the simplest at this time.
As a solution on the mod side, I'm considering adding an option to ModSettings to specify an arbitrary folder, so that the model can be handled by a path relative to it.
The only problem I have not been able to do this is that ModSettings is broken in the latest version of SP and cannot save the settings.
@MVC
The monkey in the thumbnail has no smooth shade attached.
However, the mod does support custom normal vectors for each vertex on each face.
So if properly configured and exported, it should work.
@NewmanSTAR
Added it. Try setting Collider to true from the part properties.
For the time being, it is possible to make OBJs collide with the ground or with normal parts.
However, due to technical reasons, it is not possible at this time for two OBJs to collide with each other.
@AndrewGarrison
Thanks for the reply, I generally understand.

If there are any future problems due to malicious use of this mod, please contact me or remove this mod from the site immediately.
I don't want others to be infringed by my mod.
@llDeadboyll
>Witch unity version do i need for creating mods/maps ?
I remember it as 2022.3.9f1.
If not, after importing ModTools, a warning will appear in the ModBuilderWindow and you should follow it.
>Mine had always one part black and the rest transparant...
First, about the black parts.
If it looks black only on the edit menu, it is probably due to the light source on the game side. Countermeasures are under consideration.
If parts remain dark in flight, please let me know.
Next, transparent parts.
Assuming you are using exportModel from SP.
In the current exportModel texture, the alpha channel seems to be assigned the intensity of the luminescence.
However, in this mod, the alpha channel is treated as transparency, so I assume that the parts not set to emission on SP are transparent.
Please set Emission to 100% in all color palettes when exporting or modify the textures in your paint software.
@JP11 Ka originally indicates ambient light, but this mod substitutes emission, which is a close item due to shaders.
If it is not a glowing item, then 0 0 0 is fine.
@AndrewGarrison
I have created a mod that will runtime load the OBJ file on the device for use as a custom mesh part.
Since mod loads the local files on the device, when sharing a build that using it, the obj file itself must be shared as well.
“SP exportModel can be used for non-commercial projects if only fuselage parts and blocks are used.” I saw a comment earlier that said.
However, when the obj file itself is shared, as in this case, I believe it falls under the category of redistribution, not use in a project.
Can I still use models exported from SP(or edited based on that) in this case?
The topic of using exportModel is also discussed in this forum.
However, I'm not sure if we can treat them in the same way, since incorporating them into a project and sharing the model itself have different meanings.
If you're going to do it, I'd suggest you ask the developer first.
@MizeaO
It probably will not bring about any significant change.
The reason for this is that it is difficult to publish a build made with this mod.
Since this mod references a local file on the device, it is necessary to publish the model file along with it in order for it to function.
However, unless you created the model from scratch with modeling software, redistributing the model could cause rights issues.
.
The only few things this mod can do is improve the look of private builds, as well as place worker and prop models around the build to make the screenshots more gorgeous.
@Zer0x1
As for maneuverability, I will check again after the AC model (Loader4) and FCS are completed.
If you are still dissatisfied with the final build, you can adjust the speed-related parameters yourself, as they can be easily changed from the variable setter. (We have made these specifications with the expectation that they will be changed according to the contents of the assemble.)
@elruXo
After downloading to mobile, a warning message will appear stating that the mod is not included, but after closing it, do UnDo, and then do ReDo to successfully load all but the mod parts.
(The mod parts included in this build are only used for visual effects, so their absence will not affect the functionality of the build.)

Regarding the altimeter change mentioned in the comments.
Please find Altitude in the code and convert it to (Altitude-3.1). (There are 3 places in ver 1.4.3)

If you are using a text editor's bulk replace, convert Altitude* to (Altitude-3.1)*.
(Using Altitude as the replacement target will destroy AltitudeAgl).

The gyros do not provide sufficient control, so smaller engines are used instead.
