Nice shot! Now I have the BOC song playing in my head. Was that done by the guy who is doing all of the sci-fi vehicles? I almost downloaded the Razorcrest, but it needs more work.
 
Occasionally I see screenshots of military aircraft that have been successfully added to MSFS2020, except there aren't any cockpit screenshots. So am guessing THAT part of a conversion process has still not been solved. Am I correct? NC
 
Much has not been resolved NC. Legacy ports are a way of getting your old FSX favourites into the sim but not much will work, like landing gears, doors, and the bulk of instruments. The question is whether you can stand all of that for the sake of watching the aircraft "fly" (after a fashion) in the new sim. Yes there are now conversion programmes to make it easier to convert the old stuff but I still don't know why you'd want to do that. FSX was not PBR so all textures will not be true PBR, so they can't take advantage of what MSFS has to offer in graphics.

The reason you don't see many Vc shots of FSX ports is that usually there is quite a bt of 2D XML used in FSX and that does not work in MSFS, meaning you get just squares and rectangles where the gauges should be. I don't know if anybody has yet got a P3DV4+ model to function. :engel016:
 
I think as long as the gauges are .cab files they will work. I know next to nothing about how gauges work but of all the aircraft I've tried to convert that seems to be the commonality.

And while I agree that older models don't take full advantage of the new sim, some of them still look great.
