I was browsing the other day and came across this program called Addon Converter X at : http://www.flightsimtools.com/adconvx/ and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it ? Does it work ? Opinions ?

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I don't have it, so I've never used it. But I stop by regularly at the site to keep up to speed on the developer's projects. He's the mind behind Instant Scenery, AFX, FS Discover, Heli Traffic 2009 and so on.
The best I recall from the forums is that it works well on some conversions, but not all. You do have the ability to try a demo or it's sold via the Flight1 system, which offers a 30 day money back option if you don't like it.

I've had it for quite awhile and it does work.
I've been running DX10 nearly all the time and the portover planes I have mostly work pretty well. MAAM Avenger, for one, looks great with it in DX10. Sometimes there are some bad textures but for the most part it is running all the time and I don't even think about it.
cheers,
steve

I used it for some time to make portovers' textures visible in FSX, which it did flawlessly, but I deinstalled it because it was causing problems with scenery textures (at that time Orbx PNW and PFJ, and only there!). The texture blending was totally borked.

It could well be that an unholy combination of addons (like GEX, REX and OrbX "texture flow") has caused this. Maybe others don't have this problem. I only know that deinstalling Addon Converter X did solve my problems with scenery blending.
Currently there are so many true FSX planes that I don't feel the need to use portovers anymore. Textures aren't their only problems in FSX.
