• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 AirWizEd

I retired from my day job several years ago, and since then I've been working for a company that builds turn-key general aviation flight simulators. The development work that I used to enjoy doing as a hobby now provides extra retirement income.

I didn't realize the licensing mechanism broke when Flight1 Software removed AirWrench from their catalog, so I've decided it's time to release AirWrench and AirWizEd as freeware. There are new download links near the bottom of the mudpond home page for downloading a zip file containing both AirWrench and AirWizEd. These programs are both 'portable', meaning you don't need to install them. Just extract them from the zip file and put them in any convenient folder and run them. They are functionally equivalent to the commercial versions; the only difference is that all licensing has been removed. Both programs are free for anyone to use for any purpose. There is also a link for downloading a zip file that has a few user documents. I have no objections to these programs being hosted on other websites, as long as the programs are offered free and unmodified.

I did my best to design AirWrench to work for all MS simulator versions from FS2000 to FSX, all MS CFS versions, and all LM Prepar3D versions. I won't make any claims for using AirWizEd on the older sim versions. There are too many differences in where parameters are located in the older sim versions versus the later ones.

Thankyou for that ... I'll look forward to being able to use AirWrench again :)

Hi Jerry,
I thank you again and I rewrite here below a comment that I did some time ago in this forum.
It is not a criticism, it should be read as feedback.

"...I share the point about documentation.
Often a software can have awesome features that are very poorly explained.
It seems that something remains in the "pen" of the designer....
So much time spent in creating powerful tools that risks to be wasted because the end user even doesn't know about or misuse them.
I personally think it is really a pity!"

With new flight simulators around, I have no idea how much the "past" is still matter of interest for "developers", but as a retro simmer with the desire to modify the existing or adding new features to his hangar (for personal use and knowledge), I'll try to use your tools at best.

To do it without begging for help... an extended documentation, I think it would be very interesting.
Maybe some videos on "how to do".

Again, take this post as you want, at least as a way to share the interest.

Sergio
