• 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.

Beta Aircraft for Aerofly

A bunch of Aerofly planes, all works in progress still, have been released for user consideration and beta testing on github. Keep in mind, many of the planes are incomplete or will have errors which the developers hope users will report:

By the way, many of these planes will be in folders with the suffix -Master. Remove that suffix, or the plane will not appear in the available aircraft list within the sim

Hi,

Lately I sorted out my projects and connected running versions of models to the GitHub platform. This allows me to share developed staff with others for testing. Most of models are still in the private domain as they are still in the early stage of development, but some of them are available in the public domain. You can find it here: https://github.com/krzysk1?tab=repositories

You can look at my repositories and see what is currently in the public domain, but also you can download models and test it! (use Clone or download green button). From time to time I will add new models there. If you create GitHub account, you can also cooperate with me to submit comments and issues, or develop these models yourself.

One note: it is the platform for developers, so the models included there are infinite, they can have numerous errors that cause problems. I am dedicating this possibility to those who can deal with installing and testing models at their own risk (that's why I do not give instructions on how to use it

Enjoy it
Krzysk

Keep in mind these planes are being updated on the fly! The plane you uploaded yesterday, or even an hour ago, may already have corrections, so check the dates!!

So amazing how the AF2 sim has such a realistic sunshine appearance and even the planes look more real in the sim then in the others.

That Wilga is a beauty. Same for the antique Cessna. All of them are really nice.

Yet another aircraft released by Krzysztof Kaniewski

The SZD-9 Bocian (Polish: "Stork") is a multi-purpose two-seat sailplane that was designed and built in Poland at Szybowcowy Zakład Doświadczalny (Glider Experimental Works) in Bielsko-Biała, beginning in 1952.

It was designed to be capable of fulfilling the needs of every area from training to competition flying. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

This is free add-on for AeroflyFS developed by Krzysztof Kaniewski, 2015 ver. 1.0 then for Aerofly FS2, February 2019 3D model by AJ MacLeod. https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/bocian Thanks to him (Read notes below).

Some features may not work as intended and this aircraft could crash your aerofly FS2. Use it at your own risk! https://github.com/krzysk1/bocian

Plane: Piper PA-11 Cub Special Float https://github.com/krzysk1/pa11f

The Piper PA-11 Cub Special is a later production, two-place variant of the Piper J-3 Cub light propeller-driven aircraft, manufactured by Piper Aircraft.

Original 3D design and original sound files: Adrian Fernandez Gomez (please visit www.alcala-sim.com).

Original Aerofly FS 1 aircraft and Aerofly FS 2 adaptation: Krzysztof Kaniewski krzysk (at) wp.pl

Aerofly FS 2 optimizations, flight physics, performance: Jan-Hendrik Hanuschik (IPACS)

Tip: To start the engine grab the propeller blade and rotate the propeller. When using a mouse drag down instead of around the spinner for the best result.

This is a Sherwood Ranger XP kit plane. Manufactured by the The Light Aircraft Company in the UK. A very cool project that lets students experience building a plane. The XP (CAT A(UK)) is a clipped wing version of the ST. Engine: D-motor LF2600 2690cc, liquid cooled, four cylinder, four stroke, 91.8hp, fuel injected, flathead Folding Wings for storage Level flight: approximately 70mph.

The prime difference between the Sherwood Ranger ST (Microlight) and the Sherwood Ranger XP (Cat A) is one of wing span and wing loading. The ST has a wing span of 7.92 m and the XP 7 m, they both have the same MTOW the XP therefore has increased wing loading and a higher stall speed.

Model for Aerofly FS2 made by Krzysztof Kaniewski. 3D Design by Jared Watson.

Heads up!!

Again, a reminder to check back often on these planes, as many are works in progress with constant updates.

Currently many of these planes are having the first iteration of VR hands added, such as on the plane above:

Its instructive to read the commits on these planes from time to time when there has been a recent update to see what has changed: https://github.com/krzysk1/rangerxp/commits/master
