Yes, Pete. I know about those and all these shots of early progress made me very optimistic about it.
But after some months, I couldn't see any enthusiastic mood incomprehensibly or any ongoing progress here around, neither from developers and - more strange to me - users interest. So my question ...

Yes, there are some interesting options how to convert legacy aircraft into MSFS, even the Wilco Harrier. But I don't know anything about its behaviour and its VTOL works.
But to be honest: Here in P3D, I like being back into the 80s and flying cold war missions between Air Bases and training areas ...

In my opinion, we got stuck in two different ways:

1. The technical requirements: As John said (and I am with you, mate), the coercion to always exchange running systems we can work with into new bullshit every 4 to 6 years (and even faster each time...) - which destroys a lot of familar software ...

My enthusiastically work on RAF Bruggen was deeply destroyed when at about the same time MSFS2020 was released. An almost 5 year-project was dead as a moment's notice. With MSFS, nobody was interested in FSX or P3D addons anymore although they actually had deserved.
2021 I was deeply disappointed ...

How about a seperate desktop, John? A clean Windows 10 taken as a basis and then all you needed legacy progs and tools you need to work with (Gmax, MCX etc). Set Win 10 to the latest upgrade and then cut it off from the internet. I do so with my older music creating progs. A little inconvenient, but ...

Some few more - hope it helps

If still up to date:

I use for all my air bases the tool "FSEarthtiles" which make the ground photoreal.

You can get it here:

I would recommend to have a look at the tutorials to settle in the programmes behaviour. You can have a look at here:

Project abandoned.

To all who are interested furthermore in the latest state of the scenery, please send me a PM.

PM sent...

Okay, both files seem to be identically equal with my xmls.

I only can remember to add some new shrub sections to the spring and fall seasons. So I will send you my latest SIMOBJECTS/ETUO folder shortly.

Expat, will you please attach the SODE ETUO seasons.xml and animations.xml file for me, please? So I can compare it with my working ones.

At flightsim.to indeed.

But I would like to see any screenshots from users maybe. Not here, but SOH for example where you placed your conversion as well. As you know, I don't have MSFS so I was very interested in how the users are using the scenery. Maybe I am too impatient, and especially I do not ...

Really surprised by the users feedback.

Expat, I forgot to add that the mobile tower lorries appear depending on the wind directions as the overrun barriers do as well.

So please set the wind from west direction, in this case you should see a lorry appearing at RWY27 (east side). Set wind to 8 kts at least.
If you set wind from east ...

Thank you very much for all this work and effort to sort it out. MAIW is still an indispensable site to me and thankfully it is almost back again.

Expat, in spring and winter, do you have

1. windsocks at both sides (09 and 27)?
2. the mobile tower lorry at both sides?

I am proud of seeing my scenery now also find its way into MSFS.

As previously mentioned I am still no MSFS user, so I am happy that Dale did make the offer to convert it into this sim. Really looking forward to the next steps...

Holy......

That's a sensation - simply the final chapter of a long-awaited story...

Thanks. Will have a look at.

Thanks for response, Expat.

The red X is a missing object in the SODE Simobjects folder. Does the X appear at all seasons or especially at spring?

I will have a look into it next days to search the culprit...
