Flight Simulator: Cannot import new aircraft or scenery to older versions of simulatorsArticle ID: 303857 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q303857 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to import an aircraft or a piece of scenery from a newer version of a Microsoft Flight Simulator or Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator into an older version, one of the following may occur:
CAUSE
This issue occurs because newer versions of Microsoft Simulators have updated Aircraft and Scenery files that are not backwards compatible with older versions of these products.
MORE INFORMATION
Although it is unsupported by Microsoft Technical Support it is usually possible to import aircraft and scenery from the previous two versions into the next available version. It is usually not possible to import aircraft and scenery from any versions outside those parameters. For example you can import Planes and Scenery from CFS2 and FS2000 into FS2002 Standard or Professional but you cannot import Planes and scenery from CFS1, FS98 or FS95 into FS2002 Standard or Professional.
