• 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 all, i have come up with a new sim idea, but instead of being standalone, it is a plugin for MSFS2020!!!
its name is "Command Center: Fleet & Base Operations" (CC:FBO), and it has the following features:
  • Control and command military air bases and aircraft carriers from around the world
  • Coordinate AI aircraft traffic, including takeoffs, landings, and patrols
  • Simulate historical and modern-day military operations, from World War II to contemporary conflicts
  • Manage aircraft fueling, maintenance, and arming
  • Interact with AI pilots and air traffic controllers to execute complex missions
  • Configure and customize air base and carrier operations to suit your preferences
  • Compatible with a wide range of military aircraft, including historic and modern types, from the spitfire, to the javelin, the EE lightning and the typhoon!
  • SDK to create your own conflicts liveries and even aircraft!
  • air to air refuelling
  • radar displays
but heres the bad thing, i have no experience in coding or modelling, so i'm going to need some help to (no pun intended!) get this project of the ground!
 
Sounds like a great idea. But - what is your budget? I hope you have a lot of money to pay people to develop all this. There are whole companies out there that build their whole business model on a far less ambitious project. There is nothing wrong with dreaming up an idea, and be enthusiastic about it. Taking it to the next level is the real challenge. You need capital or investors, business plan, and you need to hire the best people. And THEN - you need to get lucky and have strong sales so that your investment at least breaks even.

Unless, you are looking for people that like your idea and are willing to work for free. But that's the thing... everyone has a "pet" idea of a "great project"... so, everyone wants to do their idea.

Bro is dreaming harder than me here xD

I have a similar project idea, since a few years so you have an idea for how long I've been looking into this... MSFS limitations is a massive break, Not knowing Coding nor modeling is Other breaks too.... reading that you dont know any of this, what would have been your role in the project anyway?

Having a Free working team can exist Of Course, just looking at FlyByWire, only relying on donations, but in the end, Their A320Neo & A380 and 100% Freeware! and you, did you planned your project to be Freeware or Payware? :) Freeware you may have hope as long as you find people sharing your ambitions.... but it can also never happen as people are using DCS for their Military Ops, sad truth.... like you, I have a similar Idea, just Because I want a worldwide "map", but being realistic, If you don't know 3D nor Programming yourself..... I don't think thats a good thing, because even to attract Freeware devs to join, you'll have to show work, proof of concept or anything, just like the FBX A320Neo, it all started with a 1 person improvement mod ;) .Then there are MSFS Limitations...need to know then, if you can bypass them, and HOW to bypass them.....

Thats the thing, you Need to show something working on MSFS, or, its its an external app, showing the achieved features and all, a sort of prototype or else. but that means you need to Code it/model it yourself :/ because no one is going to do it for you, or not for free :/ . Also because most of the people believes this is impossible due to MSFS limitations, some have been able to by pass them, but it took them a very long time to learn and understand ;)
