In the old Aircraft design download area there was a utility that supposedly swaped FSDS fsc files to AF99 AF files. I need to find this utility. I know it does not work well. but I need it to research how it is supposed to work. Anyone help?

Could'nt find it earlier, thanks for the link. I have a member of my squad that cannot run cfs2 and wants one of my designs for multi player. I can get the design to show up in CFS1 but it will not show up in multiplayer. I have imported cfs2 aircraft before for cfs1 and they show up in multi player. Perhaps this plugin will give me a clue.

Remember - the fsc to afx plugin works only on FSDS 1.3 and earlier.  Around 1.4/5 changes to the fsc were made to make the models more CFS2 compatible.

Roger that Felix. Doug had clued me in to that a while back. I want to see how the plug in works. Not nessesarily use it. The model I want to convert is too complex for the parts limitations of AF 99  I hope I will have more luck producing the aircraft as a bgl then using the bgl to mdl utility. I wish Shaun would just upgrade his cpu. But he is retired and on a fixed income,so I am trying to get this one to show up for him.

Produced into cfs2 or fs2000 from fsds, imported to cfs1 by adding cfs1 panel and sound folders. The aircraft shows up slightly transparent. In chase view, it only shows up if panel is up in cockpit mode. In multiplayer the aircraft is completely invisible to other players unless you key s twice so you are in the external view. Hard to fly combat sitting out side your aircraft. The multi player view prob is what I have to solve. Any suggestions welcome.
