Transfering between sims..?

[Civvy]

After months of using both XP & FSX i've decided i'm going to continue in this way, i would like to know if i can use XP scenery on FSX please

At the moment, you can only use some FS9 and FSX sceneries on X-Plane, not vice versa. To convert sceneries, go to: http://marginal.org.uk/x-planescenery/tools.html, and download FS2XP.

As for sceneries, there is no "easy" way - unless you get your hands under the hood. FS2XP conversions provide a base, but the result will never be what you expected. Furthermore, it's today a relatively bad ideas, as sceneries for fsx are not done to be optimized, so you get lots of objects with very weird uv-mapping, what is much more prone to kill your frame rate than to enhance your vfr flying.

As for planes, the short answer is "no". One could do it, but the work involved would be greater than a from-scratch creation, unless you're fluent in plane making in both sims (but then you would not have asked in the first place) and you are given the original blend (or ac3d or whatever) files.

So unfortunately, both sim worlds are quite separated.
