Jonx's Aircraft Template (Developer Toolkit)
Do you have some 3D modeling knowledge and know how to use Notepad? If so, you may be able to make your own aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator!
Files Included:
- Project Folder (Perfect for 1st Time Developers and New Project Templates)
- Blender Folder (Interior and Exterior Model Files)
- Tools Folder (Links to the best MSFS Tools as well as some Extras)
I wanted to create a Template that beginning developers and experienced developers could use. The files included are basic and fully in use. The animations in blender fully correspond to the animations in the model .xml files and nodes throughout the .cfgs.
If you're a new developer, you can dig through the blender files to understand animations, names, materials, nodes, and modifiers. Then in most .xml files I have included notes to help you understand how the connection from 3D model to MSFS is integrated.
If you're an experienced developer, you can copy/paste this template instead of using the DA62 SDK template. These files include all your required flight animations, SU7 data points (VR, Nodes, Etc), and Asset Group folders to save you time down the road. Simply start changing the names and replacing the files with your data.
A full tutorial series will be coming out soon on YouTube where I go through the entire process of creating an aircraft from scratch and will be using this template during the tutorial series.
This template is ready-to-go and you "technically could load it in the game and fly it. Even if it's an ugly duck! :D
- Enjoy!

Hello Jon. Thank you so much for this package. I figured it out, you explained everything in great detail. But after uploading to the MSFS, I can't see the interior in the external camera mode. With great respect and thanks. DZIES
