Problem with Aerofly Converter

  • Hi anyone who might be there. I have been trying for weeks to get the content converter to work so that I can add a new building to Aerofly FS2. No matter what there is some kind of an error. I finally got the converter to state there were no errors, but nothing was done either. I am using the farmhouse model provided in one of the wiki help pages to ensure it was not my model causing the problem. I have the text files below. Please help!

  • I don't know if this is the problem, but If you want to get models in Aerofly FS 2 and not Aerofly FS 4, you should also use the Aerofly FS 2 Content Converter.

    And also check that you got all the nessecary files for the conversion. So texture-files (like bmp, png, etc.), the tsc-file and the tgi-file.


    Btw. the output-folder "objects" isn't a thing in Aerofly FS 2 (as far as I know). You have to bring the models into the folder "places".
