• 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.

an airbase simulator, who would like to help this project?

hello all. i am planning to create a large project, called AB sim (Air Base sim). many features will be available. such as:
  • Almost every aircraft and airbase from all the worlds air arms 1950-2024.
  • Mod support from a addon website.
  • Day/night cycle.
  • Choice to choose your starting year, month, date, and time.
  • An intergrated AI flight planner, so you can plan flights to anywhere around the world for the ai aircraft.
  • Onboard cameras on select aircraft, (more can be modded)
  • First Person Views for ground crew and pilots
  • QRA launches. (can be set at random or triggered by the player)
  • Radar screens so all aircraft can be found where they are flying around the virtual world.

but i really hate to sound stupid guys, im no good at coding. because this will be a standalone sim!
if anyone would like to help this project become a reality, feel free to send me a message here, and we can hopefully get started!
i need people to make the software and others to make the aircraft airfield vehicles and of course air bases.
 
To be honest with you, if you have no experience in coding, its best to start learning that first before taking on such a large project. That's just my advice.

Even with my modelling and coding experience, It took much longer than expected to develop a small scenery, obviously due to learning along the way many things that I didn't know. What it would take to develop a whole new stand alone simulator, just makes my brain hurt thinking about it.

My advice is like i said, dabble into coding / modelling a little and understand what it takes to actually put these together.

The concept does sound interesting.
 
I don't know if I understand the idea, what do you mean by an Air Base Sim? Simulation of the operation of a military air base? What would be the role of the "player"? Operate ground services? airplanes? plans, authorizations and air traffic control?

And on the other hand, when you say a "Standalone Sim" do you mean building a Sim from scratch? the game engine? the "AI" for NPC components? Interfaces? SDK for addons?
 
You came to MAIW with the same request, and we asked much the same questions of you - which you did not answer.

The impression I get is that you want DCS under another name, you want someone else to build it for you, and you have no budget with which to pay them. Tell me I'm wrong.
 
Why wouldn't you just work on producing an AI pack for P3D or MSFS? That's feasible.
