Aircraft modelling
In this category you will find articles related to making add-on aircraft for Silent Wings, including how to set up aerodynamics, sound, graphics, config files, etc.
- Aircraft Physics - Articles related to the physics modelling of an aircraft
- Graphics and sound - Articles related to the visual and audible modelling of an aircraft, and instrumentation
File structure
An aircraft model is defined by a set of files in a directory in the Silent Wings/data/aircraft/<modelname> directory. The directory name defines the model's name as it appears in the Silent Wings GUI.
These files should be present in the aircraft model directory:
- aircraft.cfg - The master configuration file
- aircraft.gng - The external 3d Gng model file
- cockpit.gng - The cockpit 3d Gng model file
- icon.png - An icon picture for the Silent Wings GUI
- autopilot.dat - Autopilot settings
- aero.dat - Aerodynamic model
- config.dat - Various settings that don't fit anywhere else
- controls.dat - Controls sett[ings
- engine.dat - Engine settings (optional)
- gear.dat - Landing gear and hardpoint settings
- mass.dat - Mass settings, waterballast and fuel
- options.dat - Set by the GUI (will be overwritten, so don't bother editing this)
- panel.dat - Instrument panel settings
- sound.dat - Sound effects
- AI_aircraft.cfg - AI aircraft master configuration file
- AI_aero.dat - Aerodynamic model (simplified) for the AI controlled aircraft
- AI_pilot.dat - Autopilot file for the AI controlled aircraft
