FSX to P3D Scenery and AFCAD conversion

[Michael Blakely]

I like to use my flight sim hobby to see the virtual world. My AAVirtual profile shows I've visited 163 different airports in my career here.
I also like realism, including having my AI traffic parked at the correct gates when I visit an airport. This was easy in FSX, I could find a customer scenery or AFCAD for almost any medium to large airport in the world.
P3D has a much smaller pool of airport sceneries and AFCADs available.

UNTIL NOW!

Last night I learned how to convert a freeware scenery or AFCAD from FSX to P3D using the Airport Design Editor tools from Scruffy Duck. Now I can upgrade all my P3D airports.

If others are interested, I'll post instructions.

Here's a before an after for LIPZ Venice Marco Polo airport in Italy.

Mike, that's a nice upgrade to that airport.
