N-9M FS2004 to make it run in FSX (?)

Postby scda » Fri Jan 17, 2014 2:30 pm

Hello,

I have find on a site the Northrop N-9M flying wing but is for FS2004. I like to fly in FSX but unfortunately I do not have enough time to spent to understand how everything works and to convert it for FSX.
Actually I am not sure this is possible.

Can anyone help me to make this FS2004 model to work in FSX?

Thanks,
scda

The aircraft should port over to FSX just fine. However a few possibles arrise.

Model folder
--------------------
You shouldn't have to do nothing with this, the model 9 times out of 10 will show

Texture folder(s)
---------------------------

Panel folder
---------------------------
Depending if this aircraft came with a panel, and not using a default FS9 panel it will show. However the gauges used will not show on the panel in certain areas. If this happens you will need to replace the contents of the Panel folder with a FSX panel. Or if your good at editing a panel.cfg you can replace the gauges missing with FSX ones. If it uses a default FS9 panel you will need to replace the entire contents of the panel folder with a FSX panel. If you view the contents of the panel folder and see .bmp's and etc. the aircraft came with a panel as mentioned above. If all you see is a panel.cfg it is a FS9 panel and you will need to replace the contents with a FSX panel of your choosing.

Sound folder
------------------
If the sound folder came with a sound set included with .wav files you should be good to go. If you see just a sound.cfg file there chances are they are using a default sound from FS9. Then in this case you will need to replace the contents of the sound folder with a FSX sound of your choosing.

Now you should have a working FSX aircraft ported over from FS9. This is still no gaurantee, there are no absolutes here.

Unfortunately I am nubby in writing and configuring programs. I was thinking that there could be some one interested to do the job well, even if the job needs rewarded in any reasonable way.

I can provide the N-9M file.
Thanks
