Hello again, it has been some time since I last interacted, hope you are all well. The Mallard sim is up and running and suits the purpose right now but is very much becoming a legacy and outdated. I'm looking ahead and doing research into what it would take to bring the G73AT into MSFS 2020/2024. I'm not sure where to start so I jumped back in here and was hoping someone may be able to part with some info or steer me in the right direction. What is it I'm trying to achieve? A basic 3d model that does not have to look amazing at all as we will be using it for the trainer. A flight model that closely represents our aircraft in regard to handling and speeds. The systems working or "emulated" as they do in the real G73AT. The systems are fairly basic in functionality but would need to be tied into other systems and annunciator panels etc. We are not after an elaborate 3D virtual cockpit but instrument clusters that could pop out as 2D panels and be shifted to other screens in the procedural sim. We would not be sitting inside the Virtual cockpit in MSFS but siting inside our trainer looking out at views only if that makes sense. The ability to have a GTN 750 and 650 as the gps.
As mentioned, the sim as it is does work and it's great for training, but it's old and still running FSX on older hardware. The trainer I have built and implemented for the pilots at our company to use has been with my own blood, sweat and tears. The company I work for are very excited about it and the potential for us moving forward. I feel it is only a matter of time before the "platform" I am using becomes too old and no longer supported by today's standards.
I am looking to find a developer or team that would consider taking on this project or at least explain what is involved, cost and timeframe to bring it to reality. If it can be done and work as intended for us, I could put it to our company to finance the project. I would also seek the necessary permissions to give access to any aircraft data, pictures, sounds and manuals needed as they are our company owned aircraft. We have the only 3 modified it in the world.
Thanks for taking the time.
Kind Regards
Drew Daniell
