I tried the exporter - it appears to work. I don't have AC3D in order to do a true test, but I made a box with some materials and after looking at the exported file it seems like the colors are included.
The AC3D page says it imports/exports COLLADA (.dae) files which may be a good option - did you try that?
I should clarify what I'm trying to do. I don't have AC3D - I just need the model in the .ac file format in order to install the model in the FlightGear program.
What I don't understand is, why were the colors being exported for previous models (the exporter worked as it should), and now they aren't. The export is inconsistent now. On one attempt none of the colors appear listed in the .ac file; on another attempt maybe half the colors are listed, but then don't appear on the model.
