Welcome to the FSDeveloper Wiki. In this Wiki you can find all sort of FS development information, like tutorials, tricks and manuals. All the information is categorized into the categories you see on the left.


* Manuals
Please feel free to add new articles or improve the ones that are already there. Any information that could help other developers is welcome. And if you are a tool author, please consider to place the manual for your tool up here as well.
* Tutorials
* Code Examples
* Design Examples
* Glossary


At the moment the manuals cover the tools available at [http://www.fsdeveloper.com fsdeveloper.com] only, but the community is free to add manuals for other tools if they want of course. The tutorials cover different subjects, like GMax, BGLC source code tweaking and many other. Everybody is invited to add his own experiences, tutorials and how-to-do's. Finally the glossary provides an overview of some of the more technical terms used in scenery design discussions. This should enable new designers to learn the scenery design slang faster. If you find a term is missing, please add it to the glossary.
As everybody can edit the Wiki, here are a few simple rules to make sure that the articles remain readable:
 
As you might have guessed from the above, this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki] system allows all users to add and edit new content.

I think this Wiki system can really add something, it is a good place to find article on how to do things. While the forums are more suitable for discussions with other designers and problem solving. A lot of people who do not contribute in forum discussions are looking for flight simulation design information, so I hope this Wiki can provide some of that information.
