• 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.

While I have been enjoying the new MSFS, I of course wanted to get my A350 exterior model in the sim as soon as I could. Now, I am still reading up on how to do that exactly. In any case, I've done some housekeeping in terms of labelling things in my Blender scene. This was something that urgently needed to be done and now I can say the labels make sense (no more Circle.##). I hope to be able to start exporting the aircraft soon again and show you guys what she looks like in MSFS.

It's a start to port this to MSFS. Although getting my head around to understanding it all is proving to be difficult. It's likely to be a while before she is on her own gears as I am trying to figure it all out. But at the very least I see a wingtips that looks like an A350's. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

If you using the Blender2MSFS toolset, I don't think it supports aircraft export currently. I am not very sure about it but I have seen someone in A32NX discord mentioned it is not supporting aircraft exporting yet. That is the reason they creating their own toolset for the default aircraft being imported and exported correctly.

I have as well, because I really struggled with the SDK thus far.

And this very much explains why that is the case... So right now there is no clear way to export an aircraft to MSFS from Blender?

Indeed. Either have to wait the Blender2MSFS toolset to be ready for aircraft export or wait until A32NX complete their toolset. It looks like their toolset will be ready soon. You may see the progress of their toolset in their discord.

I found some plane maker has been successfully export Blender model into the sim via the toolset. You may try asking him how that was possible.

@F747fly are you still into this project? I’m a blender user too mainly a modeler. I’m the one working on the freeware A320NEO fleet for P3D currently W.I.P. I also have a A350 model in very very early stages.

"First drain Cup from old wisdom, before trying to fill it up with new msfs2020 knowledge" - an old Zen phrase.

At least you have all parts already assembled in 1 place inside your MSFS2020.
That is a good start, Just keep going!

But at the very least I see a wingtips that looks like an A350's.
You already have gotten this far, so I'm very sure you will master the rest of (the wings, body fuselage and entire plane) it too. Keep'm coming those WIP screenshots
