Scenery compatability

Post by stegs »

Hi all

Would a FS2002 airport scenery work OK in FS9?

I think the clearest answer is

Some will and some wont .. :lol:

Trial and error is the key here.

I have tried FS2002 airports that crashed the FS9

But I have also tried even older that worked a bliss.....

I think one of the biggest difference is the AFD/AFCAD between 2002 and 2004.

I try to use only older airport sceneries that has an AFCAD version as well ..

Classic example there is the Edwards AFB scenery from Dennis Waggoner; it worked perfectly well, apart from the fact that any parked AI aircraft were hovering at about 100 feet!! :shock:

If you do get any issues with elevation there is a nice utility from Jacky Brouze, called Jabbgl, on Avsim. You can find it here:
