MaidenFan Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Hi, I'm a Mac user and I'd like to convert FlyTampa FS2004 scenery for X-Plane use. I tried using fs2xplane, but I had to luck. I tried it on my friends' Windows machine and it asked me to find the FS2004 folder, which I don't have. Any way to get around this? Quote
emin0413 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Use the windows FS2X-plane, fly tampa doesn't convert with the mac fs2x-plane. When you download it to the PC, it comes with a decoy FS9 and FSX folder, direct it to that. Quote
nickff Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 hey are any of you experienced with st maarten fly tampa converted for x plane 10 mac? if you are can you tell me how Quote
scubajuan_new Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 FlyTampa St Marteen converts ok, some trees are missing a texture. Just delete them in WED Quote

When you download it to the PC, it comes with a decoy FS9 and FSX folder, direct it to that. That is not correct my friend I have done many conversions from FlyTampa Scenery and i use a MacBook Pro. And FS2X-Plane does work on a mac You have to create a new folder named FS9 or FSX and put a random file in it and rename it to "FSX.exe". And then the machine recognizes that file as an actual FSX system file. Now you just have to locate that file for your conversions. That is the same thing for the FlyTampa installation. You just choose the "Fake" FSX file and install the scenery in there. Quote
SwissCyul Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 hey are any of you experienced with st maarten fly tampa converted for x plane 10 mac? if you are can you tell me howI put the description on how you convert it in the post above. The FS9 scenery converts better then the FSX version. The FS9 conversion has mostly all of the objects and the ortho-photos. Thats why it's better to convert that version. You just have to edit a bit with WED and OE to remove missing textures or move the runway around, because the coordinates are not the same in FS9 and X-Plane. I hope it helps a bit Quote
