jzeitlin Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hey Guys,As many of you know I have been repainting a fair amount of aircraft. Im putting that on hold to do scenery conversions especially JFK by FSDreamTeam. I have literally been trying for months just to convert it with no success. I have bought many aerosoft and imaginesim sceneries and converted them with incredible success including EDDF. I purchased it thinking I could use wineskin to convert it but I can not even open the files. I am a die hard mac guy. Has anyone converted FSDreamTeam JFK and be willing to share some advice? Also I have tried it on my old PC and have had little to no luck just extracting the files and when i am able i get green ground textures. I have grown up around the corner from kennedy and always go plane spotting there. It is the only airport I really want.Once again, thanks for the support with the repaints. I plan on doing more as soon as I get JFK. Hopefully someone here can help me out.Thanks,Jared ZeitlinAlso I do not own any version of MSFS. I only own X-Plane.One more thing, if after another week or two I am unable to convert I will look to develop a highly detailed JFK Scenery for X Plane. I need some help though. I have no clue how to use blender but am rather skilled in photoshop. I need someone to help make the buildings and objects if I decide to take on this project. Any one willing to help?

PWJT8D Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 The problem that I know of with FSDT sceneries is that you have to have them installed and working on a MSFS installation. As in, you have to run their installer, enter your serial code, and add them in the MSFS scenery manager. Only then you can start working with FS2XPLANE to convert it. Even then I cannot guarantee that it will work, but others have experienced it converting nicely this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maple-syrup Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 It's a wonderful scenery! I fly there all the time for CYHZ. Goodluck converting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzeitlin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The problem is I don't have any version of MSFS. I didn't realize when I bought it I needed MSFS. I have purchased imagines denver, detroit, atlanta, and la guardia and successfully converted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Would it work on a MSFS demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzeitlin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Nope I have literally been trying since August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzeitlin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 And don't think I didn't think of that I have even wineskined FSX and FS2004 demo's to try to fix that. Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB_XUSA Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have it and you have to run and install in FS2004 on a windows machine and convert it using the windows platform. If I remember correctly the FSX version will not work. It has to be 2004. Maybe someone else can clarify that. The scenery comes out without hardly any problems. A little clean up of the airport using overlay editor to delete some airport ground vehicles depending on your system and deleting some missing textures but thats about it. It is a great scenery and probably one of the best converted. The night textures are amazing but do put a hamper on the sim in regards to framerate but other than that its absolutely great.JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzeitlin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I guess i need to give up. I have no access to a PC just my macbook pro.guess i wasted 25 bucks or whatever it cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpny Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 You can buy both FS9 and FSX on Amazon for maybe $30 total, including delivery. I have them both installed in a Windows VM just for installing and converting MSFS payware scenery. So far everything has converted well.

Ryan M. Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have FSX, maybe I could have a go at the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzeitlin Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks, but I already was able to convert it. I had to use a friend of mines PC. Im still looking for a good FLL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan M. Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wasn't there an FSDT one? I might be mistaken, I haven't looked at them in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
