How do I move aircraft from FS9 to FSX. I moved the aircraft into the simobject/aircraft folder and the panel gauges to the gauges folder but the panel does not show up on the aircraft. What did I do wrong?

I am no expert on this but I would advise against using panels and gauges from FS9 in FSX. Instead just point the FS9 planes you moved to the FSX panels using the alias command in the panel.cfg - OR - you can just copy-paste the FSX panel into the panel folder of the FS9 plane (uses more disk space).So for example if you want put an iFDG A320 into FSX then copy-paste the PANEL & SOUND folder from the *default* FSX A320 and paste them into the iFDG A320 folder saying "yes" to overwrite. This method will use more disk-space if you do it for a lot of planes thats why aliasing is a better method. But the above method will get you up and running quickly and u will see the panel in your FS9 plane.

already tried adding panels from FSX to FS9 planes that i imported to FSX but that doesn't work.

(I originally posted this on EvolveAI's forums)I have found a way to have your FS2004 aircraft show up in FSX without having to have an actual copy of it in the SimObjects/Airplanes folder.http://www.pearlmagik.com/winbolic/Using symlinks you can basically create a directory that is a pointer to the actual directory under FS2004. However you do have to use the Junctions type of link (explained on the webpage) which is a slight bit riskier in that if you delete the link (in Explorer) you potentially also delete the original folder (NOT a problem if you use the Winbolic tool to do the deletion).Upshot is, you can have all of your aircraft from FS2004 be available in FSX without using up twice the disk space.Caveat for UI planes: the panel and gauges must also be available in FSX (so you probably *do* need to copy all the gauges over at least - I temporarily worked around this by making the panel.cfg point to the FSX default 737). But I think for AI planes this could be a good way to port them over. I have not yet loaded up traffic files to see if all my AI planes work but I have at this point tested UI planes.Denny
