• 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.

Hello,

I've been wanning to start my first Plane Model and make the CS300. I have two questions to you.

1. Are you interested to fly this plane in Flight Sim? :)
2. Do you all experienced creators have some tips for an starter like me?

Greetings :)

Yes of course, I would be interested in a CS-300 if it's been created in the style of Qualitywings... and if it would be created for FS9 as well... since I'm an FS9 Simmer only...
 
Tip: Start with a smaller (prop) aircraft. A jet for a first project is an insane task and will take years even with a team (not to mention, being a rather new aircraft, getting reference for the CS300 could prove challenging).
 
Brandon has offered the same advice I always offer to new modelers. The most important advice for your first plane would be to do a project because it is one YOU want to do, and not something based on a poll.

Always start small I've learned that the hard way :p

Not necessarily. A newbie can start big with the caveat that they have a good foundation in structural and mechanical engineering and by inference a well founded grasp of mathematics combined with knowledge of CAD. With this one could start a major project interspersed with smaller tutorial projects as needed. Either way it could take years to complete. One final note, always build what your heart desires and not what others want. I found this out the hard way. ;)

I wouldn't build something I wasn't interested in: do you like it?

Ah, I recognise that! As soon as I see an airplane that intrigues me, I start feeling like: "WANNA BUILD!!" It is, I think, expressing your experiences with what in your eyes beauty is: "I feel thrilled by the beauty of this, want to express this!"

My D.21 project was purely emotion-driven. The T.5 is a mix of love and fascination. This can only exist because it is a freeware hobby project, I think.

I think for work load: work expands quadratic with airplane size.

Yes and no. The amount of visual details that you have to include in models of smaller aircraft does not have to be included in larger aircraft. You've got more leverage with flight dynamics in larger aircraft as you'll never find enough freely avialable source material and pilot feedback. You have to include gimmicks like maintenance and repairs into small aircraft to give users a sense of responsibility. Large aircraft, on the other hand, require a more thoroughly modeled avionics suite, with glass cockpits being the ultimate development nightmare and just about the only thing that really blows up the workload. The work required for proper sound is about the same for both kinds of aircraft.
 
Well good luck and all the best with it, there are lots of people here can help you as you go along. Don't be a stranger!
