I miss FS9

[Wobbie]

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.

When does exactly FS9 turn 21? I know it's soon. We might invite the sim a beer 🍻

WE just missed it, but we should do something to celebrate 21 years of fun.

Especially when I learned to use most of the nice newer stuff from P3D/FSX in my FS9.

Here comes a picture of my latest private conversion taken directly out of my 21 year old one-and-only all-time-best simulator:

If you don't mind me asking. Is it easy converting P3D/FSX items to FSX. Is there a guide anywhere. PResume this is only for Freeware items to

 

Thanks

[Wobbie]

Do tell us how?

Actually, yes, we've just missed if for a few weeks. No problem, I'll have a beer tonight and raise my glass to FS9. Cheers! 🍻

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!

I don't know! As I convert into FS9 - as this is the FS2004 section.

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.

Do you have a tutorial to recommend for this operation (P3D to FS9)?

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).

[Dedl]

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

Whaaat? You managed to convert Sierrasim Palonegro (SKBG, my hometown airport) to FS9? Awesome 😱

[Dedl]

😊 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).

That's why I do not miss FS9...

Just check the Readme's and other documents. 

Some say that it is prohibited to modify or decompile the software. So, be careful there.
