It should pretty much port without any problems. What difficulties are you experiencing?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Thank you for responding. The props do not show nor do they spin. The landing gear struts & tail wheel are not visable.....

I can't fix the props but the gear should display & work properly. Open fs9.cfg in Notepad & look for this entry under the [FrameCallNoWarn] header:

B-17D=0

Change the 0 to 1 & exit Notepad saving changes when prompted.

Depends on your OS.

WinXP - C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9

Vista/Win7 - C:\Users\YOUR NAME\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9

You might need to use the "Search hidden files & folders" advanced option before it will show up on a search. When you find it I suggest creating a Shortcut to it & paste it to your desktop.
