Modern FM doesn't refer only to the CFD sim, which is on top of the modern FM. It refers to the geometry based grid multi-sampled force system that the sim shipped with since launch that everyone is already using (as opposed to the legacy FSX table-based single-point system). The params marked FSX/deprecated have been so since the launch of the sim, although at some point in the distant past they weren't documented very obviously as such. -Matt Edited August 17, 20223 yr by MattNischan

I assume it is there for those who would want to use converted FSX aircraft but IMHO these aircraft should stay in their original environment.

It's easy to think that now, and maybe you are right, but back then, a few of us were hoping that FSX / P3D models could be imported easily into MSFS, so that we don't end up buying all the same aircraft over again, like it seems I have!
