Hi Guys,
I use some good CFS1 aircraft in CFS2, which work directly. I have also converted some to CFS2, using an MDL converter.
Unfortunately there are others which are made with AF99, which have resisted being converted%$£*!!

Does anyone know if it poss to convert these to CFS2 format. I've tried changing the MDL, but they will not display. In the model folder is an .mpi and a .nmp?

Clues?

Thanks

Shessi ???

Hi Shessi. 99.9% of all 3rd party aircraft for FS98/CFS1 (& many early FS2000/CFS2 models) were created either with the original BAO Flight Shop/Aircraft Factory or Aircraft Factory 99 (AF99) the updated version. There's no reason they will not work in CFS2 & this is not your problem. I suspect you're using WinXP. Some 3rd party aircraft that work perfectly well with Win98Hagar conflict with XP. Some early CFS2 models also have this bug. You can fix it by patching the MDL file with the MDL Repair Utility. Check out my CFS2 FAQ page for a link. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2faq.htm

These are backup files for Aircraft Animator. You can leave them where they are or safely delete them.

It's entirely your choice but the later FSDS2 & Gmax CFS2 aircraft are far superior to the older CFS1 models in every way.

Hi Hagar,
As usual I'm in your debt. Worked well. Another little lesson learnt!

I like the tit-bits of info on your site, updated the ol' brain cells!

I know what you say about CFS1 ac, there are just not some ac built yet, so for certain QCs or MB, it's good to have the ac I want.

Many thanks

Cheers
