Commander 685 Native P3D conversion

[expat]

Wondering if this was ever finished? I have tried converting it with MCX but having a few issues with the prop animation and glass and spinner reflections. VC came out perfectly and exterior model looks great. Need someone who knows how to use the MCX Materials Editor better than me!

Propeller conversion sound like you need to follow this http://www.calclassic.com/convert_tutorial/

I´m actually busy doing another plane exactly with this conversion problem. Maybe after this I can help you with the Commander. Actually I need help myself

Thanks Dan. That was my next plan - to look at Tom G's tutorial. Maybe we can figure this out together.
Cheers.

Yes of course. Just pm me, if you get stuck somewhere. But I´m at learning too at the moment.

Well, I got stuck pretty quickly. Using Tom's tutorial there are no Prop Variable in the set conditions variable box for the imported FS9 model.

Reading the tutorial's many steps to configure prop animations and appearance, this looks way too over my head and time consuming. I have been lucky before converting other models - mainly jets - making only a few needed and successful adjustments in the hierarchy editor to e.g. control surface positions, etc. but this looks beyond my ability.

MCX is quite finicky when it comes to conversions from either FS9, FSX or P3D. I prefer conversions to P3D as I've always had issues converting to FSX. With that being said, I had my go at converting the AC685 to P3DV4 native with PBR materials and here are my results. This was done in only a few hours and everything is there as it should be, including VC.
