Would like to know if it is possible to convert a MSFS2020 scenery file to P3D V4 or V5? If so, how is it done? What tools are used? TY

Thank for your reply. I have googled for a FSX version before I posted this. No luck. Of course MSFS 2020 has a nice free one. I was also looking for the scenery for VIctorville; boneyard for the commercial airliners AVSIM library has that one for fs2004, wonder if that one could be converted to P3D V5 standards? https://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=root&SearchTerm=kvcv&Sort=Added&ScanMode=0

P3d V5.4 has a rather bland 2M1 Harry Truman airport and looking for a better detailed version for P3D V5.4 MSFS2020 has a free one but unable to convert it to P3D. It is a unique boneyard airport for GA aircraft and would be a nice addition to P3D. https://hu.flightsim.to/file/31531/2m1-harry-s-truman-regional-airport

SOLVED! I stumbled on to a forum which discussed issues with flight controls for the SS DC-9 and lo and behold I located some switches that turned on some of the hydraulic pumps. Once I located and turned them on, the rudder and elevator issues disappeared. In a real DC-9 there's two switches on the F/O side of the main panel that are OFF-LOW-HI switches for the engine hydraulic pumps. You need LOW for flight controls and HI for flaps and gear.

Only thing that may be wrong about that theory is that this happens only this aircraft and no others.

I've had rudder and elevator issues with it in both P3D V4.5 and V 5.4 click here to see video. As you can see from the link, the rudder and elevators flap (twitch) wildly till air born. Other then that, it is fine. Someone on another forum suggested to turn the yaw damper switch off, I did and that worked for a few minutes then started with the twitching. This was for P3D V4 SP1 - don't think they ever updated it any further. Like most other devs, they ran over to MSFS 2020 and forgot about P3D series. When you open the link, wait a few moments for the jet to start moving. Anyone out there have this issue and a fix for it?

Does anyone reading this know if CoolSky made a Navy (C-9) Skytrain version or nightingale? There is a forum for this merch but like most tried and true devs then have jumped ship for the MSFS 2020 side where the benjamins are and closed their forum.

There is a nice freeware version in the AVSIM library for P3D V5 it includes accurate A-10 Warthog storage hangars along with the aircraft maintenance and boneyard facility, get it here.

Will you post fixes on your site when completed?

I am conversant with the xml method and had set up the basic install to my addons folder. It worked swimmingly well. For the moment, I have not added any of the updates. Over the years, I've learned that some dev will sometimes share effect files with same name as their their other addons and if ever decided to delete all the files associated with your addon, there is a chance that what remaining addon will not function due to loss of a effect file. IMHO, keeping the effect and other sound files in the addon directory keeps it all neat and tidy. I know that some Devs will make a concerted effort to uniquely name their effect files so as to associate them with the aircraft addon.

That junction link you mention, I have read. I've never heard of it and still don't understand it. IMHO it is a bit of minutiae that is over my head.

"Cleanup"? What cleanup? Don't remember reading about any cleanup in any of the read me files.

Thank you for the files. I have yet to incorporate all updates. I want to install it in my addons folder. Don't know if MVAMS will recognize it in my addon folder.

I'm a little late to the party here. I sent you a pm requesting this first update MilViz_DHC-2_Consistency_and_Flight_Model_Update.zip I have the subsequent updates. BTW I use P3D V5.4 Thanks
