You can still convert aircraft from FSFS into FS95 or FS98 formats - if you
still have both converters.  Running the FS95 version converter will place the
converted texture files in your "textures" directory, and the *.air and *.mdl
files in your "pilots" directory.  The FS98 converter will convert the
aircraft into FS98 format, build the correct folders ( directories ), and
place the converted aircraft into them.

Not exactly sure if that's what you wanted - good luck!
