FSX2FS9 Converts FSX Airport Files for Use in FS9

Images related to this file:

• fsx2fs9_060-1.png

File Description: FSX2FS9 is a utility based on the ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine. It allows users to convert Airport Files designed for FSX for use in FS9. The program provides user control over the conversion process including selection of elements to be removed prior to conversion, handling of vehicle path networks and handling of those items in the FSX file which would cause the FS9 compiler to fail. The user also has the choice of whether to allow the program to automatically fix and faults found or to use the built in fault finder for more control. The program uses the Microsoft FS9 Compiler (included) to generate the FS9 Bgl file. The XML source is also available. Please note that while airports converted with this program should work in FS9 there are a lot of variables and we recommend that the converted Bgl be opened in an Airport Facilities Editor (such as AFCAD, AFX or ADE) for further processing to ensure a satisfactory result. This program is still a beta and users should use it in that light and make sure that valuable files are back up in a safe place. Please read the enclosed operating notes before using this program.

Big Thumbnail Pack

File Description:
Pack that contains thumbnail images of all the stock library objects in FSX. Intended for use with Airport Design Editor but can also be used with other tools. (This is a re-upload of a file lost or corrupted from the library)

This is yet another collection of library object thumbnail images for FSX. It is however probably the most complete. The thumbnails are made using Instant Scenery of all the stock library objects found in FSX. It includes the objects found in OBX files as well as local specific files and general object files. There are a few where the thumbnail did not work however. Can be used with Instant Scenery or Airport Design Editor (version 1.30 onwards).

Library Object Viewer ver. 0.20

File Description:
Library Object Viewer is a utility to display FS9 Scenery Objects outside of the Simulator. This makes it easy to check out object libraries and the objects they contain. It reads library files and displays the objects they contain. These are displayed in full 3D, can be rotated in three axes and scaled larger or smaller. The objects can be displayed in day and night textures (assuming there are night textures) and in solid or wireframe. It also takes thumbnails of the object as it is displayed which can be used in other programs. The program is currently beta and can display most objects accurately, but fails with some. It cannot read objects shipped with the FSX demo at this time. The program uses DirectX 9c to create the objects - this is used by FS9 and FSX. Please read the installation notes carefully to ensure a successful installation. Support is available from www.scruffyduckscenery.co.uk

Library Object Manager with Scenery Maker Version 0.99

File Description:
This is the final beta release of this program. Library Object Manager is a utility to manage your collection of FS9 Library Objects. It can import information from a number of sources including library files, SBuilder, RWY12 and EZ-Scenery. It can export information about objects to SBuilder, EZ-Scenery, RWY12 and other Secnery Design Programs. You can catalog objects by libary, user defined category and author. If you have a lot of objects then LOM makes using them in your scenery very much easier. Scenery Maker is part of LOM and tightly integrated with it. It uses the database of objects. Scenery Maker is a placement program and uses your Flight Sim aircraft position to place objects (Similar to RWY12). Works only with FS2004 objects and Simulator. Requires Microsoft dotNET Framework Version 2 and bglxml. Full details are in the download documentation. Support is available from http://www.scruffyduck.plus.com
