Transferring FSX planes to MSFS2020 (Lets see if the thread survives!)

Here's some footage of me flying the B-2 Spirit in Flight Simulator 2020! So there's been a lot of people breaking the simulator open lately and one of the breakthroughs is a tool that allows you to easily move aircraft from Flight Simulator X into a configuration and location that FS2020 can access. Most planes don't work at all currently but some work enough to fly from the external view. Here's the forum post where there's a discussion going on about this https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/...

and the tool to try this out yourself https://github.com/klasbj/planeconverter

The aircraft that I used in this video is the A51 Simulations B-2 for FSX. There is no replay tool currently so all the flying was done while recording this video. I hope you can enjoy the footage!

I read the old FSX planes uses the old legacy flight physics inside MSFS, so for me its not that interesting, Meh.

 

Finally a plane to do the Whiteman-Pyongyang round trip in style. 😁

They can use legacy physics or they can use modern. It is more likely they'll need additional work rather than just a straight conversion for modern, but they don't have to use legacy. But then it isn't all that important if one person finds it interesting or not. It's very cool. And it means virtually all FSX planes can make their way over -- some with more additional work than others. Should be very interesting to most people.

i doubt you can import and use the modern physics, compared to the old one the new have around 1000 points around the wings calculating instead just 1 point like the old physics have. So its not that easy.

Of course you have nice3d modells inside MSFS 😁 nothing more,

but i would wait for a 100% release created for MSFS2020

LOL  I went the other way...   no gauges yet but perfectly flyable in external view 🙂

Great for Low and Slow scenery viewing 🙂

Aren't the current default AC still only using a modified FSX flight model and not the 1K point yet?

Typo: "FSX" not "GSX"

 

Wanted to give that a shot, but can't seem to get it running okay.

What's needed is a convenient way to get FSX/P3D VC panel 2D gauges, like an electronic HSI, into MSFS. Then hopefully you could fly from from the VC like you normally would.  Apparently the current SDK is lacking info on 2D gauges.

Meanwhile, somebody has gotten the P51 racer into the sim and its cockpit and dials are working. Of course I can't link it, so good luck with that.

The good news is that for people who have downloaded the conversion kit, this might be on of the more viable targets to try.

Hope developers take notice, because that will be a "wow" aircraft in this sim. Too bad there's no cockpit. It probably feels like you're flying inside a pop-tart.

Anything with piston/turbine engines, FSX native MDLs, 3D gauges defined IN the MDL (not XML) and not reliant on DLLs will work to a degree, I've got three aircraft working very well that are unlikely to be implemented in MSFS any time this year or next and a f ew others that work OK.

I've built the app and done the conversion on a model, but it just doesn't show up in the sim at all, working or not. Dunno why. Might have another crack at it later on.
