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.

I know I have that one but wish there was a high quality payware one. Do you know any sound packages that sound like an Aero AT3 that would be awesome.

Hello Jonah,
You might rethink your strategy. If this plane is that popular, you might approach some flight sim groups (teams that make planes) and do a 'nice' intro letter (email) to them (the lead team leader) and request the plane. Tell him/her that you can supply as much of the information as you possibly can. Let them know if they need anything. Sometimes, pilots of the real planes can help out with feedback when it comes time to tune the flight files (FDE files) for the plane in how it handles.
You need to be a little 'nicer' when you ask for something this huge. Making a plane is going to take at least several months. It can take over a year. There is a lot to making a model. Then to paint it with graphics so it looks half way nice. Special gauges will have to be coded and tested. Then the FDE files tuned to this particular plane so it has the right take-off and landing speeds, cruise speeds, behavior in turns, stalls, fuel ranges, etc, etc, etc. Its no easy task.. You do not just quickly make a plane and be flying it in two weeks. Its radically hard.
So again, you might approach some teams and email them with a nice email that requests this plane. Send a couple of photos of the plane, really nice ones, to show them what it looks like so they do not have to google it. Pitch the request with some cool words. Try to sell the package, if you know what I mean. Put your heart into it. That is what the team will be doing.
Also, you might consider making it yourself. Learning Blender, learning how to make parts, export them into FS. It would be a long path though. You need to be into this to do that, but its there if you want to learn. Thats how each of us got into it.
I hope that helps. Looks like a fun trainer.
You might also ask the company if they know of, or have thought of creating a sim version of their plane for students to do sim-time in. They might also be able to hire a team to make it.

Wow Bill is promoting Blender? What is going on? I thought you'd be more in favor for GMAX

Its ancient. Might as well go with Blender.

Well, I started doing one, years ago. As I do not have free time (exams, exams and well, exams) and much interest (kinda gave up on FS) I'm not sure if it'll be ever finished.
