To convert '''Microsoft (R) Flight Simulator scenery objects''', first convert them to X-Plane format using [http://marginal.org.uk/x-planescenery/tools.html FS2XPlane], then follow the method described below. | ||

X-Plane objects are positioned using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_ground_level AGL], while FlightGear's .stg files expect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_mean_sea_level AMSL]. We will use FlightGear to automatically query the elevation at the object's postition. Therefore, the corresponding scenery tile must be installed. Find out on which tile the scenery you want to convert is located.

The most convenient way may be to use [[TerraSync]]. | ||
