December 7, 20178 yr While I've been quite critical towards FSW, this is certainly a big milstone I would compliment the developers for. An SDK can open the door to a host of user and of course professional contents. Well done.

December 7, 20178 yr Moderator Well folks, it looks like we finally have an SDK for FSW: http://steamcommunity.com/games/389280/announcements/detail/1464097650385123380 http://fswsdk.dovetailgames.com/ I'm disappointed to see only support for 3DS Max, and I'm hoping more options will come in time, but now we should finally start seeing some good content appearing.
December 7, 20178 yr :-( regarding freeware developers I guess, given the amount it costs :-/ Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Honest question: do FSX and P3D have 3DS max. Just wondering if it’s a step back or if it’s the status quo.

December 7, 20178 yr Moderator Yes, both FSX and P3D use 3DS Max, but the community stepped up and made plugins for other editors including Blender and even Sketchup. 4 minutes ago, switch686 said: They are looking at other options for software such as Blender... I hope so. Not everyone can afford the 3DS Max monthly tax, especially freeware developers.

Cryss talked about implementing blender in the future updates. I hope they do. Tony, how would someone annotate some autogen in the scenery with those tools? Not possible? As far as I read, they don't have visual tools to help building a scenery. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
December 7, 20178 yr Moderator Yep, I'm reading through the SDK and the terrain stuff seen in the P3D SDK is missing. I'm sure/hope it's coming, eventually.
December 7, 20178 yr Commercial Member FSW is based on FSX and so is P3D, so it MAY be possible to use parts of P3D's SDK in FSW. I have not tested this myself yet. It will be interesting to see how the public SDK differs from the dev SDK I have. Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer
December 7, 20178 yr The Blue Sky FS P40 is also released, and it's really excellent! Exceptional all around - spectacular textures, ground and flight handling, and sounds. Cold and Dark gets you right in there..... it's discounted I think for the next week, 27.99 USD.
December 7, 20178 yr Yes, it's a plane that needs tender loving care before you can master it, even during taxiing. I found that, just like a real aircraft with that kind of horsepower in the front, especially a taildragger, you just don't shove the throttle forward all at once. I get the plane rolling down the runway by gradually increasing the throttle, and, as soon as the wheels leave the ground, I shove the rest forward.
December 7, 20178 yr well, i hope to finally see some high quality airliners in FSW, so i can start testing it Zeljko Budovic
