Is plane from FS2004 working in FSX?

I saw someone told me that the planes mod in FS2004 also work in FSX is it real? or just a joke?

No joke! I flew many FS2004 aircraft without any modifications done to them! Only some need any kind of modifications to make them work!

Many will work fine, some will work with issues. Common problems can be either no glass or black/white glass (an easy fix if you know how to edit texture files) or prop blur textures disappear behind clouds, trees, buildings etc. which can be fixed by replacing the prop textures with a set from a FSX native aircraft.

Many native FS2004 aircraft have already been converted to native FSX so that you don't get these types of issues.

Oh thanks you that's make sense when I saw the same plane from FSX in FS2004

If you see the term 'port over' on an FSX aircraft it means that it was originally a FS2004 aircraft that has been made to work in FSX (bad glass/prop textures have already been changed etc.) but the model itself is still a FS2004 model.

If you see the term 'FSX native' this generally means that a FS2004 aircraft has been processed through a program like 'Model Converter X' and has been made fully compliant with the FSX way of doing things. It can also refer to an aircraft that was made exclusively for FSX originally.

If you see an FS2004 aircraft you would like, I would suggest looking for the same one in FSX first. If none found, then try the FS2004 one.

@Hitori131 adding to remarks by @Tako_Kichi one can generally tell a port-over from a native FSX model by having a quick look at the model folder of the relevant file: native FSX aircraft have the distinct interior and exterior model mdl files, while the port-overs typically have the older 'unified' single mdl model file, common to FS2004; another marker is evident in the texture folder of the aircraft release: native FSX typically feature dds textures while the older FS2004 port-overs generally have bitmaps

cheers!

Any FS2004 plane can work in FSX as long as you use FSX compatible panels.

Late to this thread but as a long time FS9 vs FSX-SE addict, I can confirm that most FS9 aircraft work great in FSX. I have several FS9 Carenado paywares along with many FS9 freeware kites which I use quite often under FSX. Also good sport is aliasing one aircraft to another, especially when playing FSEconomy, such as I have done since 2014. Often one wants to fly a particular airframe but has none available in their flightsim library, ex. A Cessna 207 on amphibious floats. I take my FS9 (or FSX) older Carenado C206 which includes float versions, tweak the .cfg file and FSEconomy will recognize it as a C207.

Well, FS9 aircrafts in FSX (especially with DX10) is mostly a hit and miss affair. The thing is, just try it! If there is some issue, the community here can help!

I was very surprised by Martin, Gary & Huub's Fokker Dr.I, there is almost no problem with my FSX DX10 setup, and it's a fun aircraft, with rotating piston engine (you have to see it to understand the concept). Just some weird transparency issue with machine guns. I fixed it by removing alpha channel from one texture (bmp attached to this post).
