I'm sorry if this question has already been asked but is it possible to import the CFS3 aircraft into FS 2002 ?

Thanks in advance,

Only if the aircraft has been put through the Gmax treatment and CFS3 exporter. :-)

James,

Thank you for your kind answer. Now I'm off to get CFS3 ! :-)

Best regards,

I Think Hakan meant the default CFS3 aircraft. The answer would be NO. The CFS3 default birds have a lot of goodies that FS2002 doens't like. In short, they will probably crash FS2002.

Greetings,

The aircraft sounds from CFS3 can be used in FS2002
with minor changes to the sound.cfg file...



*****Changes to CFS3 sound.cfg files for use in FS2002*****************

*********Note that "brackets" don't show up in the forum***************
*********Where you see "parentheses" below, put in "brackets"**********

Open CFS3 sound.cfg with Notepad:

Delete this:

(CFS3)
product_code=CFS3

Cut this from the bottom of the file, put at top:

(FLTSIM)
product_code=FSIM

Delete:

(BOMB_SOUND)
filename=bomb

(FLAPS_UP)
filename=usflap
initial_volume=9500

(FLAPS_DOWN)
filename=usflap
initial_volume=9500

Add:

(Flaps)
filename=usflap

Delete:

(GEAR_DOWN)
filename=gear_us_engage,xgear_engage_bomber

(gear_up)
filename=gear_us_retract,xgear_retract_bomber

(GEAR_DAMAGED)
filename=gear_us_broken

Add:

(GEAR_DOWN)
filename=usgear_e

(gear_up)
filename=usgear_r

Delete:

(LEFT_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=chirp_bomber01, chirp_bomber02

(RIGHT_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=chirp_bomber03, chirp_bomber04

(CENTER_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=chirp_bomber05, chirp_bomber06

Add:

(LEFT_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=cmtouch8, cmtouch5, cmtouch3
minimum_volume=9000
maximum_volume=10000

(RIGHT_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=cmtouch7, cmtouch4, cmtouch2
minimum_volume=9000
maximum_volume=10000

(CENTER_TOUCHDOWN)
filename=cmtouch6, cmtouch1
minimum_volume=8000
maximum_volume=9000

******************************************************
The above changes will let the sounds be used in FS2002.

Or you could just find/copy the sound files from CFS3 into FS2002 (regarding the broken gear) ;)

Greetings,

Yes, the "shared" sounds can be used by copying them over, but the "flaps" section still seems to need editing to work...

The B-26 sounds from CFS3 work very well with the A-26 Invader
freeware AC recently available for d/l....also with the DO-24K
flying boat....CFS2 AI B-24 and B-25....B-17...B-29...:D
