Fs9 scenery coverting to prepar3d?

[meesterlijk 25]

Hi there,

 

This week someone told me that fs9 scenery can be converted to the prepar3d flightsimulator.

 

Is this true?

Sure, with a lot of work.  This is only for your own personal use; otherwise you will need to get permission from all authors involved.

 

1.  Convert all library objects to P3D format.  This can be done with ModelConverterX.  You load a library BGL and save it (Export Scenery menu) in P3D format.  You need to make sure that MCX retains the same GUID values.  Any object with transparency will need to have that transparent material fixed (the Use Default Transparent drop down choice).

 

2. Load the AFCAD file into ADE (P3D mode).  Make any desired changes, and save it in P3D format.

 

3.  Re-create any terrain features while in ADE (flattens, excludes, airport polygons, roads, rivers, etc.).

 

4.  You may also need to move the airport (using ADE) to avoid changes between FS9 and P3D.

 

Hope this helps,

Mmmmh,

 

Sounds too complicated for me with the result I will end up with an upside down airport.

 

For me a no go.

 

Thanks for your reply!
