Hi....got my copy of FSX Deluxe yesterday.Can I move some FS9 aircraft straight into FSX?Anything I have to do different?Anything that has to be "tweaked" to get FS9 aircraft to work in FSX?ThanksFaxCap

Obviously aircraft go into the SimObjects sub folder now, no more Aircraft... ;)

I guess the only thing stopping FS9 aircraft from working in FSX are anyolder FS98 style gauges in their panel. Looks like XML only gauges.FaxCap

>I guess the only thing stopping FS9 aircraft from working in>FSX are any>older FS98 style gauges in their panel. Looks like XML only>gauges.No, any gauges except FS98 style C gauges... FSk2k, FS9 and FSX C gauges work just fine, in addition to XML gauges.This was asked and answered last week, same channel... ;)

>No, any gauges except FS98 style C gauges... FSk2k, FS9>and FSX C gauges work just fine, in addition to XML gauges.Thanks, Bill....so using my favorite FS9 aircraft may only mean switching a gauge or two....or seven. :-)FaxCap

I should have an aircraft mover/gauge copier available by next week. It's out of beta testing but needs a tidy-up before release.-Dai

Sounds good, Dai....will it be uploaded to Avsim?FaxCap

GREAT!!!!!!!! We all would love to have it. Hope it will be at Avsim. Regards, BobF.

It'll be on Avsim sooner or later. PCPilot requested it months back so I feel they should get a run at it for a couple of weeks after it appears on their cover CD first.-Dai

That sounds fair enough.FaxCap

>Obviously aircraft go into the SimObjects sub folder now, no>more Aircraft... ;)Why not? All you would have to do is change your FSX.cfg file:[Main]User Objects=Airplane, HelicopterSimObjectPaths.0=SimObjectsAirplanesto[Main]User Objects=Airplane, HelicopterSimObjectPaths.0=Aircraft(I think)Which, if some wise developer decides, could write up a batch file to start up FSX with different FSX.cfg (or change the cfg on the fly) so that a developer can have different "airplane" folders for pleasure, and development.....

Fr. Bill - I like this suggestion even better - and it works like a charm!I popped over one of my FSDS builds into the "Aircraft" folder and it works beautifully. The added models show up at the end of the list.
