FSX Flights into P3Dv4.5

[Wobbie]

I tried loading FSX Flights into P3Dv4.5. I loaded them into Docs & when I selected a Flight in P3D, I got a resource missing error.

Any Ideas?

I don't recall ever seeing that work--there is a 2014 utility (FxmlToFlt) by John Nunez that goes the other way (P3D .fxml format to FSX .flt) that I have used with Radar Contact, but I've never seen a .flt to .fxml converter.

There's an old thread on the topic here:

 

There is a utility by Tom Arduini called FSFlightBuilder in the library that generates both .flt and .fxml files--from a cursory look, it appears that it *may* be possible to use that utility to open a .flt file and then write it back out in .fxml format for P3D:

Thanks, It would have been great, as there are quite a lot of FSX flights I would have liked to try with P3D.

Someone back in the day did convert all of the FSX missions for v4 but it was not legit (no permission!), all the links on google are now dead.

A pity, There some great missions out there that I would have liked in P3D.
