FS9 to FSX migration tool

Vinet have released a tool that makes it easier for you to copy your library of aircraft from earlier versions of Flight Simulator to Flight Simulator X:

Basically, it is designed to process the FS2004 folder. However, it is possible to also select FS2002 and even FS2000.

FSX does not accept .DLL files and gauges from versions prior to FS2000. For FS2000 and FS2002 aircraft FSX will display warning messages: you can just accept them This tool analyses aircraft.cfg, mdl and air files to find all ressources required. For instance, it looks at a mdl file to extract a list of the textures used and verifies if they exist. It also searches for non standard Windows DLL’s.

Sometimes there is a lot of unused textures listed in the visual model file.The migration preset (in file.options) desactivates the logging for this particular category.

NOTE: Some 3rd party aircraft use sophisticated gauges and DLL. They may require an update in order to function under FSx.
