I've downloaded an addon which was created for Orbiter 2005 ([ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1041]Soltech Package V1.1[/ame]) and not updated since.

I was wondering if someone could advise me on just what steps I need to undertake to convert the base contained in that addon so that it can be installed in Orbiter 2006.

Once I've done it I'll upload the base to the Hangar so that it can be available to everyone.
 
It's not too hard. First you need to add "BASE-V2.0" to the config file. And then add the textures to earth.cfg.
 
Chances are you'll also have to put the base's location in the base's .cfg. Older version bases had that in the Earth.cfg. You can just look at the stock Canaveral's .cfg, and see what's different with your old base's .cfg. It's not very hard, I updated my copy of the SRC bases before the patch was available (so I could use the Space Elevator), and figured it out in about 10 minutes.
