Anyone able to install other planes yet?

It was supposed to be "Plug and play" for any XML coded legacy FSX aircraft. It is definitely NOT. I'm really looking forward to the A-12 David!

Why ??... You can shoot real life photos from a Cessna now, you know. :playful:

Hopefully better legacy support will come in the next few updates, at the moment there are a few things not working with FSX mdls, and I'm afraid right now, nothing is of releasable quality. For example, nose gear stuck down, 3D attitude gauges not functioning, odd texture anomalies etc.

Managed with the help of DC Designs to get engines working but only if the jet starts in the sky not on the ground!

Hopefully these things will be ironed out!

I'm not sure that's correct. Flight models will work if you switch to legacy mode, but as I understand it, the models need conversion. Maybe someone more qualified than I am can confirm or deny.
 
Hi,
with the help of the official forum and a test program made klasbj (planeconverter), I managed to carry a dozen of planes that I have created or are in the process of creation.

Theses planes fly with a certain fluidity and do not seem to penalize the graphics engine

On the other hand it is necessary to use simple aircraft, without DLLs and no 2D gauges, only 3D gauges are accepted. The P-51 Racer of Microsoft is a good sample to try a convert.

I find that the FSX mdl actually improves my FPS - but this is likely down to not having PBR and all the other fancy features and having a lower poly count.
 
Not so sure about the MSFS 2020 community yet....I ask for a guide or even a clue and all these guys posting pictures of how they put an aircraft into this sim just want to send me to a link...post a guide please.

In the MSFS SDK forum I left a short how to for someone in the FSX import showcase thread if that helps.
 
The author didn't supply an EXE. I guess he only wanted really technically savvy users to use it since there's some risk to your file system if there's a bug.

You have to compile it yourself.
 
If ever there was FSX compiled aircraft begging to be converted.... has to be the Warbirdsim Mustangs! I am having a look at the process. Where ya at John? :wavey:
 
Thank you CrashAZ, I appreciate it! I would be afraid to see how bad they look in this new sim, knowing they weren't ever the greatest to begin with. I personally am not interested in doing flight sim dev work for the time being and much prefer to simply sit back and enjoy the sim and the stock aircraft, which look, sound and feel incredible. If I do bring a Mustang into this sim it will be brand new from the ground up and released independently, starting with a P-51A (as well as my B-25J). I've got a side-gig of sorts now working for Warbird Digest magazine, and I will also be going back to work full time again with my para job at the school district, just over a week from now (for the first time since the beginning of March when COVID hit), so available time will be a limiting factor.

While I'm sure they would not meet the quality of your own expectations, I for one would LOVE to be able to fly them here. #justsayin
Not asking you to, but I'm sure I'd be blown away.

I would love a P-51A for MSFS. Also, Warbird Digest is one of the few magazines I still subscribe to. :encouragement:
