Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Bob,
We have already converted that model over to FSX and P3D standards. You should be able to find it in this thread
https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=26166.0
But to answer your question. If you want to do the conversion yourself (as a learning exercise) then you will need to isolate the flap part, export it to a modelling tool (FSDS, GMAX etc) re-create the animation so that it is correct and then re-attach it to the converted model.

Thank you Gavinc....Will have a look....Think I will pass on the conversion technigue 
Now for a DA Question. The model folders are called (1)HTAI C208b CP_P3Dv4 etc on the converted folders and the original was called model and model.cp. Do I need to change the model name for a cp to HTAI C208b CP_P3Dv4 in the aircraft cfg for all 256 textures...whew.
Warmest Regards,
Bob M.

The aircraft.cfg file reads the names of the folders. The model.cfg file inside those model folders reads the file names inside each folder.
If the aircraft.cfg file contains the line:
model=
then FS looks for a folder named
model
If the cfg file contains the line:
model=PWEngines
then FS looks for a folder named
model.PWEngines
Hope this helps,
