warmanbrent Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hello - How do I get the aircraft to display in FSX? I can select the aircraft from the menu, but it comes up with an error message where the aircraft won't show up. Thank you.

mrzippy Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 It won't show because it's for P3D and the model is incorrect! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I heard some people say FSX aircraft addons work perfectly fine in P3Dv3 because both use the same 32-bit system, is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice, but the OP is trying to use a P3D aircraft in FSX. Aircraft made for P3d will not show in FSX as the model is different. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

SGFlightSimmerYT Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 just to clarify, @warmanbrent the 777X with Rikoooo's VC is only compatible with P3DV4+ since its 64-bit. FSX up to P3DV3 is 32-bit. Thus it is not compatible with FSX, and P3D up to V3.

I'm sticking to FSX currently and it's good to see someone still making add-ons for it. Just a question: How did you make P3Dv4+ addons compatible with FSX? Did you use Migration Tool?

Did you use Migration Tool? what is migration tool? anyways the model usage in FSX and P3Dv4+ is diff: P3Dv4+ has PBR which FSX doesn't. Since SSP's 777X included both, thats how its done as for Rikoooo's cockpit, it also includes FSX and P3Dv4+ models also for the same reason: compatibility with both 32-bit and 64-bit anyways thx for the compliment!

Anyway, thank you for the explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igami Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think this is a late response but will explain about the format of MDL files. There is MDL8 format MDL which is used at FS2002/2004 MDLX format MDL which is for FSX PV20 format MDL which is from P3DV2.0 PV44 format MDL which is from P3DV4.0 FSX can handle MDLX and MDL8 Can't handle PV20 and PV44 since from PV20 .. Index to the vertex is changed from 16 bit to 32 bit so can't handle a PV20 and PV44 format. I think some saying P3D model is from from P3DV1 which was almost same as Microsoft ESP and SDK's export format was same MDLX. For checking which format the file is , use "Model Format Checker" in this library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igami Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Just made a simple image for understanding. The point between FSX and P3DV2 or later is data's INDEX is expended from 16bit to 32bit. And section names are changed. So FSX can't read P3DV2 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
