August 27, 20241 yr Indeed! For me, I prefer the immersion factor as a preference to the realism factor. It's all about fun, facts & fiction. Over the years, I've done all the IFR kind of stuff, now I'm enjoying flying in a 'regressed time' FS9 install, and am flying to various Polish airports in the 1930's, with a suitable Ford Tri-Motor. I've also enjoyed flying the sloping runways & ramps in Timor (Ford Tri-Motor Project scenery). The Golden/Platinum era really appeals to me now, after 20+ simming years. That's what makes FS9 so unique. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...

Is it easy converting P3D/FSX items to FSX. Is there a guide anywhere. PResume this is only for Freeware items to Thanks

No problem, I'll have a beer tonight and raise my glass to FS9. Cheers! 🍻 22 hours ago, Dedl said: Especially when I learned to use most of the nice newer stuff from P3D/FSX in my FS9.

The bird is definitely TDS, FS9 native (that counts for both airplane and ground support). The trees look like the Orbx ones, but all the rest? No idea. I mean, I even made my own roads (with the help of someone here) to compensate for the lack of Vector down here, but this looks insanely good!

Yes, the plane is TDS, native FS9, that's right. But this was not the point. The scenery is P3D/FSX, converted with the help of the Model Converter X - into a version that works in my FS2004 (as you can see onthe picture). The trees are not ORBX, all is nice P3D/FSX stuff from Andes Simulation, a real amazing design company. Don't know, why they do not make their work for FS2004... Never mind for me, I enjoy their stuff in FS9 anyhow. Dedl Edited September 2, 20241 yr by Dedl

On 9/2/2024 at 6:10 AM, davies87 said: Is it easy converting P3D/FSX items to FSX This does not belong to this forum, but I'll reply anyway: have you tried simply installing in FSX? It may work (well, the AFCADs may need to be opened in ADE and recompiled for FSX).

September 4, 20241 yr Well Luis, when you have moved over to newer simulators, there is no idea to put a lot of energy in learning how to convert. Otherwise you can contact me in a PN Greetings Dedl

September 6, 20241 yr 😊 Yes, I did. Most Sierrasim P3D stuff is quite comfortible to convert... Never knew, why they did'nt do their great work for FS9 too (like MFSG). Dedl That's why I do not miss FS9... Edited September 6, 20241 yr by Dedl
September 6, 20241 yr Just check the Readme's and other documents. Some say that it is prohibited to modify or decompile the software. So, be careful there. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
