Guys,

For some strange reason, I've always been fascinated by this a/c. The one available is only for FSX. Can it be converted to FS9? How? Would someone like to try it? to help teach me how to do it?

As far as I know, native FSX aircraft cannot be converted to work in FS9, at least not without a complete rework of the source files for the model in the software that it was designed in. You'd have to get the original modeler to do it, or get the source files from them.

It's just like you can't get an FS9 plane to work in FS98, and so on. FSX seems to have even less backward compatibility than earlier versions of FS.

Thanks, Mick. So, it's really a lot more than just converting the textures and then assigning the lot to another AIR file.

It makes me wonder ... can we persuade Paul Clawson to convert it.

Anyone else besides me interested in this plane?
