[Program] YSFlight Map Reverter

Post by decaff_42 »

Have you ever run into issues trying to open a .fld file to edit it? Ran into a snag with different versions of Scenery Editor of YSFlight?

YSFlight Map Reverter processes .fld files and removes the elements that were added since the stable version of YSFlight Scenery Editori was released in 2009. Thus any map made between then and now can have the clock turned back and any version of scenery editor or ysflight since 2009 can use the map.

Some maps will see more details and features lost (textures are one of the big things), but if you don't mind that, you can fly and work with maps that you couldn't previously play with.

Looking at the licence he can say what he wants where ever he wants.Telling a creator what he can and can't do with their creation isn't anything to do with the licence. He's absolving himself of risk, something completely legal under any licence!

I'm lost on how this works. I ran it on a map that was made in 2015, but can't find the fixed file. Readme says it goes to an "Output Files" folder, but that folder isn't there. Is it just not outputting the file, or...?

You may need to re-download the zip files. The zip file contains an Output folder, but I likely have a typo in the readme. It should be "Output Maps" folder
