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

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.
