Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried to create something for FS20/FS24 using AI with the SDK ?

You mean vibe coding? 
 

not specifically with the SDK but I’ve dabbled with something flight sim related. It’s great for frame working but I still had to go in an engineer a number of things. Otherwise it can get unnecessarily messy fast. 

Don't one or two developers do this already?

That's something I'm hearing mentioned a lot lately.  So I checked out what that is:

Definition of Vibe Coding

Vibe coding is a modern software development practice that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to generate code based on natural language prompts. This approach allows users, including those without extensive programming knowledge, to create applications by simply describing their ideas in plain language.

Key Features

AI Assistance

• Natural Language Prompts: Users provide high-level descriptions of what they want to build, and AI tools generate the corresponding code.
• Rapid Prototyping: This method enables quick creation of working applications, making it ideal for testing ideas and iterating on designs.

Accessibility

• Democratization of Coding: Vibe coding lowers the barrier to entry for software development, allowing non-technical individuals to participate in app creation.
• Focus on Creativity: Users can concentrate on the creative aspects of development rather than getting bogged down by technical details.

Limitations and Concerns

Code Quality and Maintainability

• Potential Issues: Relying heavily on AI-generated code can lead to problems with code quality, maintainability, and security vulnerabilities if the output is not thoroughly reviewed.
• Lack of Understanding: Developers may use AI-generated code without fully understanding its functionality, which can result in undetected bugs and errors.

Professional Use

• Suitability for Prototyping: While vibe coding is effective for rapid development and experimentation, it may not be suitable for production-level software where a deep understanding of the code is essential.

Conclusion

Vibe coding represents a significant shift in how software is developed, emphasizing speed and creativity. However, it is crucial for users to balance this approach with careful review and understanding of the generated code to ensure quality and security.

 

Until I looked this up, whenever i heard "Vibe coding", I couldn't help but think it was something from the 60s:

 

AI should be used to REPLACE photogrammetry that is horrendous in MSFS.
