• 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.

FSX airfields in P3D

Is this do-able?
Any tricks or warnings to share?
Dave
If they're recent FSX payware sceneries they may have updated P3D installers (Orbx for instance), check that first. If not they should still be fine. Older FSX sceneries may have some quirks if they also supply custom mesh. . .some of that may not play well with P3D. For freeware. . .again, recent scenery uploads will most likely be fine but some older scenery may use FS9 default objects and some of those no longer display correctly.
 
One of the problems I faced with my own few sceneries was that no taxiways were showing. An extra property, not used by FSX and called "draw surface" is needed to be checked. I have recompiled my sceneries using that for my own use using ADE but have not yet posted any updates for them. This was observed also with other freeware airports which I corrected in this way just for my own use.
