• 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 just had my account approved... so Hello there :)

I have a question.

I recently have moved from FSX to P3D. The reason bieng I had alot of add-ons and kept getting the "Out of memory" Error.

Although I never had any intrest in developing add-ons before - finding the correct add-ons for version 3 (v3) is incredibly hard. On top of that, I have never been able to find the exact version of the aircraft that I actually fly IRL.

So, how should I start learning to build both aircraft and scenery for P3D v3. Where do I start??

I'm super excited to get started learning all of this. I have a basic knowlede of 3d modeling and no programming experience whatso ever, but I'm eager to learn.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Kamal :)
 
Blender tutorial for aircraft modeling: https://www.youtube.com/user/kpgamemods/videos (start from the bottom)
It will teach you everything you need to make an aircraft.

The rest is basically reading the P3Dv3 SDK documentation and skimming through the forums here.

Don't get too overambitious at the beginning. Payware quality is out of the question without a few projects under your belt.

Click to expand...

I also recommend Kris' tutorials and as a bit on top of that (though these tutorials are actually for X-plane but the same basics apply) this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDB0F4B925CF9169C

I think you can learn more from Kris' tutorials though ;)

And like Heretic says, don't expect to be at payware level on your first project....
