I've been toyin around with Ivan Hsu's MDLC convertor and mk_mdlc, and following the instructions found here:
http://www.michael-reimer.com/CFS2/CFS2_Tips.html

I understand that to go from 04 to CFS2 you should convert to 02 first then tto CFS2 and the step from 04 to 02 is no problem however no matter what I do the program will not make the step from 02 to CFS2. It tells me to first try converting to 02 which I have already done... starting to get very frustrating

anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Craig

Thanks, been talking to a guy over at SOH as well and his verdict was that some models just will not convert period. Was trying to get the Zephyr in and have pretty much given up, I did however get the Etendard in though like you said the airfile is kind of screwy so I'll take a look at that tonight/tomorrow.

thats the  Zephyr, going to try again with a different version of MDLC then call it a day.
Managed to get a fwe other birds in though so starting to get to grips with the process.

Craig

cool, after trying again its in though with issues.
The  canopy is black and the arrestor hook instead of deploying moves forward to a position 20' infront of the nose...
still its a start  

Craig

I'm going to add this here since it must be related to what I've been doing over the last few days since I havnt otherwise touched the sim

Most of my guages have stopped showing in either 2D or 3D panels, I havnt changed anything in the guage folder so dont really see what I could have done.
A complete reinstall dosnt fix it and neither does a reinstall of the affected aircraft (Razbam A-4's being the most noticable)
I'm now out of ideas  

Craig

ps. heres the list of missing gauges:

gauge00=f4u1a_corsair!Fuel_Quantity
gauge02=Extra-300!Magnetic-Compass
gauge04=Lear_45!Backup Airspeed
gauge05=cessna182RG!Attitude
gauge06=lear_45!Backup Altimeter
gauge07=kingair!Itt1
gauge08=kingair!Rpm1
gauge09=kingair!FuelFlow1
gauge11=concorde!VOR
gauge12=f4u1a_corsair!Hydraulic_Pressure
gauge13=f4u1a_corsair!Oil_Pressure

gauge00=kingair_radio!Adf
gauge01=kingair_radio!Xpndr
gauge02=kingair_radio!Com1
gauge03=kingair_radio!Com2
gauge04=kingair_radio!Nav1
gauge05=kingair_radio!Nav2
gauge06=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio AP

gauge13=mooney_bravo!VOR2
gauge14=concorde!Radio-Altimeter
gauge16=cessna!Vertical_Speed
gauge17=cessna!Heading_Indicator

gauge00=cfs2hud!Digital-Readout

gauge01=737-400!Flaps Transit
gauge02=737-400!Flaps Ext
gauge03=737-400!Left Gear Light
gauge04=737-400!Nose Gear Light
gauge05=737-400!Right Gear Light

Very odd indeed, just checked and their all there. Lasat night I tried reinstalling CFS2, reinstalled FS2K2 and ported the gauges from there and also reinstalled the Skyhawk pakage, nothing worked. I've spoken to Ron and he's got a guy looking into it, though I really can't think of anything else that should fix it since as you said everything is default.
Also I've had a look through my hangar and it seems to be only the Skyhawks that are affected.
This all started after I set up another aircraft to use the A-4E's panel however it was a C&P job so the A-4E is still as was.

Craig

Posssible, hopefully Ron can sort it out.

thanks

I tried once or twice a few years back with no good results, and have since founded the ACL (Anti-Conversion League)....if you need an aircraft, build it, get the author to do a CFS2 version or borrow the source file and do it yourself.  

Hagar, on the other hand, can do it, if anyone can.
