Do you have Cloud 9s' F4E and are not using it in FSX because of the black canopy problem? Well, this may be old news, but to those , like myself, who didn't know...it's been fixed.
The fix is at the terrific Australian site, OSX. Their Australian Air Force repaint has it. Just take the files that fix the problem, and copy them to all of the other textures that come with the airplane.
While there, make sure you grab the freeware Tiger Moth. Beautiful model.
I know the Tiger Moth is old news, I've had that for a while. But the glass fix for the Phantom might be fairly recent, so, thought I'd share.

And many thanks for the tip, downloading the Cloud9 Phantom now.

Ok, got the C9 Phantom installed in FS9.

Any tips or tricks on how to transfer it to FSX?


Thanks

The old method i used to install to my desktop then transfer the files over to FSX. With this installer though i can't do it at all without digging for my FS9 CDs then cross it over like you're trying to do.

I got mine to work with surprisingly little trouble.
Reinstall the plane to FS9. But not to the real one. Rename your FS9 folder something else, and then make another one. Install into that. Now take those folders and move 'em over to FSX. You'll have a folder named aircraft. Rename that "Airplanes" and then move that one over to your simobjects file.
Now copy those two glass files into all of your Coud 9 paintschemes. Has to go into every one that you fly. Unfortunately there isn't a "common" file.
Hope it works. It did for me.

By the way. I don't mean that you should make another complete FS9 folder after renaming your original one. Just an empy folder called "FS9" OR "Flight Simulator 2004" , or whatever. Just so the Cloud9 installer can find someplace to go.
