• 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.

Hi

Since I'm here, going to post here with other question;

I haven't searched anything about it yet, but posting here maybe can save me some time;

First, Where can I get information about aircrafts Flight Dynamics

Second, Any good tutorials or something like it you know?

Third, Programs... Do you advise any specific program for FDE editing/creating?

Best Regards,

João Godinho
 
Olá João!

There are many many sources, specially if you're up to taking the most out of MSFS or X-Plane.

On a recent post at the Portuguese Airsim Forum I posted links for some of the best sites I know:

We can start with

http://perso.orange.fr/hsors/FS_Soft/aerolinks.html

where Hervé has included links to yet another group of mandatory sites.

Hervé's site

http://perso.orange.fr/hsors/FS_Soft/index.html

has many other sections to explore, such as

http://perso.orange.fr/hsors/FS_Soft/fsairfile.html

Then, there are educational sites like:

http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/short.html

Hope this helps. Flight modeling in MSFS has allways been one of may major areas if interest, specialy when it comes to try and circumvent the limitations of MSFS FM.

As a portuguese you can allways join us at

http://www.airsim.net (sorry if you already know about this)
 
Boas,

So we meet again... :alert: ;)

Thanks for the help, you saved me a lot of time.

I'm already in Airsim Forum, but since they don't talk much about Design... Or really nothing about it..

Best Regards

My favorite are programs. Has you know I did sceneries and never did planes I'm not good enought modeller. I don't like Gauges very much since never liked the macro approach used.
 
Programs or gauges? I am not aware of any way to write gauges in VB.NET. You need either C++ or XML.
 
C++

However I have some hopes in XML for display and C# for the logic.
Didn't even think about how it can be done.

I think you can adapt VB for creating C+ gauges, I read something about in web, don't know correctly what was it..

Hmmm I would be quite surprised if that could be done - they are very different languages and I don't think it is easy to convert from VB to C++ certainly not in VB.NET, maybe it would be easier from VB6.
