• 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.

MSFS20 FS Legacy Importer

Good Morning,
I downloaded FS Legacy Importer to convert some FSX models to work with MSFS 2020. However, when I open Legacy Importer, it asks for the location of FS2020 and FSX. When I installed FS2020, I obviously didn't need FSX anymore, so I uninstalled it. Do I need to have FSX running on the same computer, or is that only referring to the folder where the FSX aircraft are located (downloads)? I've checked Legacy Importer's site, and I haven't been able to find contact info for the developer. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin Davis
 
Hi Kevin:

If a FSX default aircraft is to be converted, FS Legacy Importer must retrieve it (as proof of prior purchase ? :scratchch) ...from:

[FSX install path]\SimObjects\Airplanes\[Aircraft Name]\Model ...sub-folder.


Note that after final conversion processing and SDK compiler output, there will be (2) packages which must be loaded for use in MSFS-2020 (one will have a _CVT suffix).

Note as well that this will be a legacy FSX-compatibility mode aircraft which requires one to manually set MSFS-2020 Flight Model into Legacy Mode when flying it. :pushpin:
