DHC6 in MSFS
Posted: 04 Jan 2021, 18:22
Not having any success in further converting David's Trident for Msfs. Legacy cockpits are just not supported and probably never will. I've just not got the skills to make my own from scratch.
There seems to be more mileage for anyone wanting to fly anything other than the default, to merge a default cockpit to their legacy aircraft.
With that in mind, I downloaded a copy of an FSX version of a Twin Otter. I believe it to be by Premaircraft.
First issue was the model mdl file was Fs9 and needed passing through Model Converter X to give me an FSX native file , Strangely lost one of the cargo doors in the process??
Used Msfs Legacy Importer to give me the Json files and the Msfs config files structure (also rips the .air file and puts in into the performance config file) Then imported the model interior, panel and interior texture files from the King Air (past through Legacy Importer again to reset the json file count)
Bit of fiddling with the configs to give me a realistic performance and fuel use
Pity its not got the proper cockpit but Its the best I can do
Silvery texture in the daylight Wish I knew how to alter them
Next project is Thomas Ruth's A300
At least i can use the A320 panel, which won't look out of place.
