Default Get the Reflex and AFP conversion tool for AFPD here

First off, sorry for the new thread. This is the final resting place for the tool that I created. Any correspondence should go in here.

I'm pleased to announce that the 2nd version of the AFPD Scenery Installer tool is finished (link below). The tool will take any scenery collection whether it be for Reflex XTR, AFP and even AFPD and install it automatically for use in AFPD.

The ReadMe.txt file explains everything but once you run it, it should be pretty self explanatory.

One thing to note, if you receive an error, it could be that you don't have .NET Framework version 1.1. Just go to [link=http://www.windowsupdate.com]http://www.windowsupdate.com[/link] and install it.

A few other things to note:
1. There are some sceneries that probably won't work. If you find one that the tool chokes on, email me and let me know which one is having problems.
2. The tool will work with the photorealistic scenes in AFP as well as the 3d scenes!
3. The Reflex XTR scenes convert quite nicely. If a Reflex XTR scene converted fine but the quality is bad, its more than likely the camera the author used. Nothing I can do about that.
4. If you convert an AFP or Reflex XTR scene, there is NO collision information. I would have to reverse engineer AFPD collision info and Reflex XTR info in order to figure out how they both do it, but I have neither the time nor the patience to figure that out (unless IPACS emails me their spec's ).

Hope ya'll enjoy. I know I've been having a blast playing in some of the XTR scenes (which now only takes about 5 minutes from download to flight time).
