• 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.

Hello FSDeveloper community,

I'm working on an ambitious eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft project for Microsoft Flight Simulator and could really use some expert guidance (or collaboration) to bring it into the sim.

What we have so far:

A completed high-quality 3D model (created in [mention your tool, e.g., Blender / 3ds Max / Maya]). It includes proper topology, UVs, and basic textures.The model features articulated rotors/propellers, landing gear, doors, and other key moving parts suitable for an eVTOL design.

Basic research on real-world reference aircraft and performance data.

What we need help with:

Exporting / converting the model correctly for MSFS (glTF, proper LODs, etc.)
Setting up the aircraft project structure (aircraft.cfg, flight_model.cfg, systems, etc.)
Animations (rotors, control surfaces, VTOL transition mechanisms, etc.)
Integration of flight dynamics – especially the unique VTOL / transition behavior between hover and forward flight
Cockpit / interior setup (if applicable), lighting, effects, and sound
Best practices for modern MSFS SDK / Developer Mode

Any other tips for making it flyable and performant

We're open to paid collaboration, mentorship, or team contributions from experienced MSFS aircraft developers. If you're interested in joining the project or helping with specific parts (modeling pipeline, flight model tuning, etc.), please let me know your experience and availability. Reach out on forums, email rob@aerogaviation.com or join our discord.

I can share the model files (via private link or upload) once we connect. Happy to provide more details or screenshots.

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers to relevant SDK documentation / tutorials!
