Please do not howl at me for this statement as it is what I believe and is not based on any direct evidence. IF, we are able to simply port over ANY aircraft or scenery from P3Dv5 to MSFS, then I will be the first to go down on my knees and thank "somebody" for our good fortune. It is NOT, however what I am expecting. A different platform which, I think, will involve considerable reworking on the part of 3PDs to make their products compatible and I do not know of many people who have to pay staff, who are going to be very eager to put in the work for nothing. Any freebie conversations, I believe we should be truly grateful for. In reality and personally, I cannot see PMDG converting their product for nothing and nor should we really expect them to. I do not want, nor, would I, be wanting to pay full price for the conversion either. (another topic maybe) I further think that speculating about this is simply wishful dreaming, and there is nothing wrong with that. The time to get serious about this is when the MSFS product is launched. I would just like it to be released tomorrow or even later today LOL Regards and please be safe to all Tony Tony Chilcott.

They will have to, in order to take advantage of the new possibilities. However, there was a "sale" of the new 737 NGXu for $99 and then only $30 or so upgrade for the MSFS when it's out. I took advantage of this myself. I don't believe that PMDG would do this if they weren't serious about MSFS add-on development 🙂 Tomáš Pokorný SYSTEM -> CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K @ 5.0 GHz | GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti @ 2027 MHz | RAM: 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident RGB 3200 MHz | MOBO: AsRock Z370 Extreme 4 | SSD: Kingston 256 GB, Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB | HDD: Western Digital 1 TB | CPU COOLER: Corsair H115i | CASE: Corsair Obsidian Series 750D | PSU: Seasonic Focus Gold 750W EQUIPMENT -> YOKE: Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System + Throttle Quadrant, Saitek X52 | RUDDER PEDALS: Saitek Pedals | CAMERA: TrackIR 5

But having been first, a PMDG products buyer on discs of their FS2004 products, ever since, I somehow, IMHO, do not envisage a 'cheap skate' route of getting FSX products to work fully functionally, in the new MSFS. If that were the case, then we have all who went from FS2004 through to FSX through to P3D stages, have been suckers!🤣 Rick Almeida

April 22, 20206 yr Author Ok thanks, everybody, I just wanted to make sure. Then I might use the default MSFS2020 747 hoping it will be as good as the PMDG one. And I'll purchase the 777 that they will release for MSFS2020. I wouldn't be worried to spend a few dollars on an upgrade to MSFS2020. But buying the product again for the full price and maybe even more isn't something I would look forward to. Edited April 22, 20206 yr by Samraatpkad

It's clearly possible, the question is whether they see a reason to do it. From what we have seen default aircraft are a quantum leap forward from those in FSX, the question is how far into the systems they have gone.

Does this typically work for FS9 planes, or must they be the new FSX models?? Not sure about FS9, but I was able to integrate my RC plane into the sim. I just took a picture of it with my iPhone, MSFS picked up on it and now I'm controlling the RC plane with my remote. If you log into MSFS, you can actually see me.

You may miss some propellor textures though with both models when converting to MFS20x2.

That's a relief, as I was hoping to fly the default Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde from FS2000 in the alpha of Microsoft's new sim. Great plane - no propellers though, so that won't be a problem! I don't know how to do the DDS thing, so I will ask over on the Flight Sim Labs forums, as they seem to know quite a bit about Concordes.Cheers!
