Aerosoft's Mega Airports are FS9 models ported over.

Add UK2000 Scenery to the list. All of them have now been updated to be native FSX products.

Is it possible for a mod to sticky this, so everyone can see it?

FSX native MUST have BUMP MAPPING and SELF SHADOWING, unless it is an airport (in which case it must render properly within the simulator).

To be specific, a model CAN be FS-X "native" WITHOUT bump mapping and self shadowing. This is modeller's preferences. (I will grant you that a payware publisher that doesn't include the FS-X eye candy, unless other features are part of the package, may be 'behind the curve').

One rule of thumb to a true FS-X compiled model is that if the "model" subfolder includes a <modelname>_interior.mdl file. A ported over FS2004 model, compiled with the FS2004 SDK, will NOT have a separate interior model file.

To quote Phil Taylor (before he left ACES)
Quote:

To determine if a model was built with the FSX SDK, use a file viewer or hex editor to look at the file. Near the beginning of the file, you should see the characters "MDLXMDLH" if it's an FSX model. An FS2002/2004 model will show "MDL8MDLH" or something else,

Again, this is a "point of information" post only, and does not mean to detract from your excellent thread of listing "FS-X Native" payware aircraft models.

I will mark any FSX native without bump mapping or self shadowing with, so that people who don't care about the eye candy, can fly with reasonable frame rates.

As far as I can tell, all the new Razbam aircraft lack eye-candy, but have been compiled with the FSX SDK. The same goes for the majority of A2A Simulations' aircraft.

Thanks for highlighting that Felix. Wink
