• 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.

veneaviones rockwell turbo commander 690B FSX

Might want to check the download section, Milton has already been busy making it into an FSX Native model.

My mistake, Milton did the 560A model for us!

The 690 belongs to Veneaviones, not me, so I would not attempt a conversion of someone elses work.

I have converted one version of my AC500, the Hangar Queen cargo series, the AC520, and the AC560A(HC).

How tricky would it be to convert this to an FSX native model with MCX?

It's been 10+ years since I've flown the 690, but I assume that it uses quite a bit of custom code and has 3D switches in the VC. The custom code will have to be recreated from scratch (and that's a science in itself if you don't know input and output variables) and the 3D elements animations and clickspots will have to be retagged one by one. Add a new prop disk (the old one will be lost in the conversion process) into the fray and you have more than MCX can handle.
The best course of action is to export exterior and interior models as .OBJ files and recreate parts, smoothing, materials and animations in Blender (GMax won't do, 3ds Max is too expensive). Certainly not a one-week job.
