I'm pretty sure that every X-Plane enthusiast has some good (but old) X-Plane aircraft hidden away somewhere on their computer. As is often the case when a new version of X-Plane becomes available, certain aircraft fail to make the crossover. Some of these aircraft might have been long time favorites but because of compatibility issues, these aircraft are left behind, abandoned, never to be flown again!

However, all is not lost, as X-Plane allows the user to recover aircraft which have been designed on earlier versions of the simulator. With reasonable effort, it is possible to convert and upgrade a particular model, so old favorites can be enjoyed and flown again, even on the very latest version of X-Plane.

X-Plane 10.30 allows you to add arbitrary forces to the aircraft; the sum of all forces from X-Plane and plugins are considered in total to determine the behavior of the aircraft. (For example, if you apply a force pushing your aircraft to the right while it is on the ground, it may actually roll to the right, even if you push on the CG. X-Plane comes with over 40 aircraft. The aircraft in the X-Plane demo is limited to 1 and only 5 minutes of flight, unfortunately. What's really amazing about X-Plane is how many users they've taken from Microsoft. Reportedly, the actual physics and accuracy in X-Plane compared to Microsoft Flight Simulator is noticeable. X-Plane 5 - v.9.00 - Game demo - Download.

This not only benefits the X-Plane enthusiast, but also the X-Plane developer who created the original aircraft. Creating an aircraft, even a simple one, takes a great deal of time and effort, and as such, it would be a crime if all this work was wasted because of a compatibility issue.

Those of you who know me, know that I am quite a peculiar X-Plane addict, and one of the few users who are still enjoying X-Plane 7 as their main sim. This is due to certain reasons which I won't mention here. X-Plane 9 and 10 are the most popular versions of X-Plane at present and because of this, many users have asked if I could update my V7 models to a later format.

Depending on the level of details which we wish to introduce to the upgraded aircraft, this activity can be quite challenging. It is however well worth the effort and is considerably less demanding than building a completely new model.

If you're interested in learning more about this process, then that's great as this tutorial will explain how this is achieved. Before we begin though, I must stress that this is my way of converting aircraft. It may not be the right way, but it is my way. Other users might have a completely different approach, especially in regards to exterior detailing and texture fixing, and as such, I advise you to digest as much information as you possibly can on the topic.

How It Works And What Is Needed

X-Plane and Plane-Maker (included with the simulator), can read and run aircraft files created in the current version you happen to be using, and also the preceding version. For example, X-Plane 9 can read and load, without any modification, aircraft created in X-Plane 8. This is what we could call 'retroactive'.

This feature is what makes conversion possible. Unfortunately this conversion does not always take into account the numerous changes made to flight model/graphical data. This means that converting older aircraft can (at times) introduce both aesthetic and operational defects when used on the newer version of the simulator.

Because of this, some additional conversion work is required in order to fix these defects and restore, as much as possible, the original characteristics of the aircraft.

The issue becomes even more complex and necessary when we wish to recover an aircraft which is not just one, but two versions away from the version you intend to convert it to. For example, if converting from an X-Plane 7 version to X-Plane 9, the simulator, or Plane-Maker for that matter, will fail to open the aircraft at all as it is deemed obsolete.

To upgrade an X-Plane 7 aircraft to our preferred version, you do not have to have X-Plane 7 installed. X-Plane 8's included Plane-Maker will read X-Plane 7 aircraft so you can use that for the first conversion step. X-Plane 8.15 is the recommended version as it assures a far smoother conversion process from X-Plane 7 to X-Plane 9 than earlier releases, especially when concerning textures.

Plane-Maker operates by reading an aircraft's .acf file (the framework of the aircraft) which is contained inside an aircraft's main folder. As long as all the related texture files remain in the same folder as the .acf file, and are correctly named, they will continue to work (even after the conversion).

Let's Start

To explain the above in a clearer fashion, let's look at an example.

I am going to show you how I convert native X-Plane 7 aircraft to X-Plane 9.

The process is made up of two 'macro-steps.'

The first involves a quick conversion from V7 to V8 whilst the second requires yet another conversion from V8 to V9, including all the necessary modifications and fixing.

Let's start with the first step which involves copying the entire X-Plane 7 aircraft folder into the corresponding section of the X-Plane 8 simulator.

Once done, we open Plane-Maker (V8) and load the aircraft (remember the .acf), and then save it. The same operation must then be done with any weapons included in the aircraft's weapons folder. To do this, open every single weapon contained in the aircraft's folder with the function 'Expert' > 'Build weapons', load and then save it.

This simple operation makes the aircraft.acf file a V8 file.

The complete aircraft folder can now once more be moved, this time into the X-Plane 9 aircraft section. Once placed, we load the .acf file and the weapons with Plane-Maker (V9). By simply opening and re-saving it, we transform it into an X-Plane 9 aircraft.

Each weapon, in case it is a moving object, must be reassigned to the correct moving part of the airplane in the 'Default Weapons' menu (since the bindings unfortunately get lost after the conversion). However, we can use the data from the original aircraft to restore functionality.

As you can see from the above, what's possible for X-Plane 8 to 9, is also true for X-Plane 9 to 10. In this case you'd simply use the Plane-Maker application found in V10.

The last 'preliminary' operation required is to update the airfoils. Here we just need to copy the files contained in the aircraft 'airfoils' folder into the general 'airfoils' section of X-Plane 9, and use the 'Batch Update Airfoils' function of X-Plane's 9 Airfoil-Maker to upgrade all the .afl files to the latest format.

However, if we don't want to mix the updated airfoils with the originals, we can instead simply open and save each of the airfoils contained in the aircraft folder.

X-Plane v7.50 Demo/Update [Macintosh Full]

This is the full install of the great plane simulation by Laminar Research. This full install will upgrade any older version to the latest v7.30 or act as a demo if you don't own X-Plane and time out.

NEW STUFF FOR 7.30 SINCE 7.20:

Instrument panels may be any size up to 1024x1024 now!

Simply draw the custom panels that big, and hit the up and down arrows to scroll up or down... very easy!

Now you can really do those detailed systems... and set the res of X-Plane to 1024x1024 to see EVERYTHING when you fly, if you like!

(and you can enter a default offset in the VIEWPOINT window to get the default offset where you like)

20 fuselage sections now available rather than 12.

Now you can really get more detail into your fuselages!

The new fuselage sections and instrument panel size really lets us get our planes more detailed...

ALL WITH 100% COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING AIRCRAFT.

Now you can select angular weapon offsets in Plane-Maker... In reality, all those helos aim the missiles up a bit.

Body volume in Plane-Maker visible for all bodies.

Transponder continues to set the ID variable flashing as it replies, whether there is a transponder on the cockpit or not, for cockpit builders, plugin-users, etc, who could use that data.

You see silouettes of craft if you are really looking into the sun

Data output: Now you can also output aileron-set 2.

The data output order has been re-organized a bit for clarity... the UDP numbers are now shifted around a bit!

...And, you can now send in the direct, final flight controls via UDP to control each individual flight control on the plane!

As soon as you send in a flight control variable, the regular control assignment will be bypassed and you can control each flight conrol surface.

Panel Import in Plane-Maker now imports the various panel custom limits as well.
