I'm trying to port into FSX the C.R.D.A. (Cant) Z.506 Airone (V1.0) for FS9 by Manuele Villa (z506b_v01.zip @ avsim). More info about this rare Italian floatplane-bomber from 1938 here in the FS9 forum (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?90144-C-R-D-A-Cant-Z-506B-ready-!!!).
Seems to work quite alright in FSX. Might even work out-of-the box in DX9, and possibly in P3D. For FSX DX10, I just had to use the toolbox included in Steve's DX10 Fixer ("tag model as aircraft" function) and convert only one old 8-bit texture file (Z506B_126.bmp) located in the shared texture folder. Note: gauges files 'ASKANIA.remote_compass.cs.gau' and '340.ap.gau' are not compatible. Just discard them, for now...
