FS9 Flights in FSX?

Featured Replies

My new workstation is running FSX marvelously (I'm getting 33+ FPS with everything maxed), I love it.I want to import my FS9 flights, and started with "Bumpy Ride Into Boston". I've got the flight, aircraft (B737-400), gauges, and so on mostly working.When the flight starts up, all looks good *** E X C E P T *** the flight opens up with the airspeed at 29 knots. Whoops.I've opened up the "bos_ils.flt", and I see a section called "[Plane]", it looks like this:[Plane]Aircraft=Boeing 737-400Latitude=N042* 11' 15.2077"Longitude=W071* 05' 10.3378"Altitude=+001843.12Pitch=355.516378Bank=359.861695Heading=20.377404Note the absence of anything about airspeed.Here are my questions:1. What do I need to do to the saved flight (bos_ils.flt) to make this work, and2. Will I need to do similar manual edits to each of my gazillion saved FS9 flights?Thx,Tom

I can't comment on if it works or not, but the aircraft listed is a 737-400, it's a 737-800 in FSX.

I've imported the 737-400 from FS9, that seems to work ok.Here is the "SimVars" section, from the fs9 flight, I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the spherical vs flat world model of fsx vs fs9:[simVars]Pitch=-0.078255Bank=-0.002414Heading=0.355658PVelBodyAxis=0.015205BVelBodyAxis=0.000330HVelBodyAxis=0.000839XVelBodyAxis=12.862461YVelBodyAxis=-13.918618ZVelBodyAxis=260.031203DynPres=93.495306AGL=1640.581539SimOnGround=FalsePAccBodyAxis=-0.003120BAccBodyAxis=0.000765HAccBodyAxis=0.002502XAccBodyAxis=-0.227134YAccBodyAxis=-2.098152ZAccBodyAxis=-1.205328PVelWorld=0.015207BVelWorld=0.000267HVelWorld=0.000805XVelWorld=102.684050YVelWorld=6.223259ZVelWorld=239.567640IceAccum=0.000000AutoFeatherSwitch=FalseI haven't done geometry conversions and trig in about 30 years ... is that what's in store for me? :-)
