N530L Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 When a aircraft is listed as "Native" in the file library; What does that mean/indicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Nels_Anderson Posted March 1, 2018 Founder Share Posted March 1, 2018 If for example is says "FSX Native" it means the plane was actually designed for FSX, versus a plane that was designed for an earlier version like FS2004 and is also compatible with FSX. Arguably, planes that are native will be better because they are designed to the standards of the stated sim which typically has new and improved features not found in earlier versions.

il88pp Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 A native fsx plane works with two models. Outside and cockpit. If you find a native fsx plane with no Vc, you can add one. A fs2004 plane always is one 3d model only. It either has a vc built into it, or not. And if it doesn't you can't add one. Sometimes the vc in a fs2004 3d model tends not work in fsx. You can then only use that plane in fsx using the 2d panel. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 A fs2004 plane always is one 3d model only. It either has a vc built into it, or not. FYI, technically speaking FS9 exterior and VC are two separate models compiled into one file. FSX native planes have the two models compiled into separate files. Slight distinction between model and file. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.
