Question - does sbuilderX work for FS9 at all?

My problem is that I'd do more scenery if I could make it into a technical exercise (i.e. build atop a map or aerial image) instead of the artistic one it is with AFCAD 2.2.

If nobody wishes to take it up, I am working on EG77 for FS9 using Rick's afcad (modified with his permission)

Hi there - I'm new to this excellent site (and to Flight Sim) having just retired and taking up leisure activities. Please can someone point me in the right direction?

I am involved with a group investigating & commemorating my local WWII RAF Harrowbeer in Devon. One of my colleagues did work on Harrowbeer Scenery for FS2004 however part the way through, Microsoft changed all of the scenery standards when they released FSX. As a result all the work that had been done so far was voided. As a result he has shifted to X-Plane rather than FS and is reworking the Harrowbeer scenery for X-Plane9. Maybe one day he will finish the FSX version.....

Does anyone know a quick way to convert his FS2004 RAF Harrowbeer to FSX? Or even the X-plane version? Otherwise, how much hassle is it to start from scratch, and where do I start?

TIA
Ted :flying:
