Basic LSP, syntax highlighting and snippets for [AC3D files](https://inivis.com). Supports AC3Db and AC3Dc file formats.

AC3D is mostly used for making 3d models of aircrafts and buildings for [X-Plane](https://www.xcrafts.com/tutorial-ac3d-blender-to-x-plane) and [FlightGear](https://wiki.flightgear.org/AC3D_file_format) flight simulators.

The AC3D file format is ascii text and is very simple to parse. It's also very easy to generate AC3D files from your own data. This extension highlights the structure of AC3D files. AC3D filenames usually have a '.ac' suffix.

## Features

**Hover Information**: Hover over elements to instantly view detailed information.

**Folding Provider**: Organize your workspace efficiently by folding and unfolding element groups.
