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.gng - The external 3d Gng model file
  • cockpit.gng - The cockpit 3d Gng model file. Trim away parts of the aircraft that are not visible from the cockpit in this model, to increas the framerate.
  • icon.png - An icon picture for the Silent Wings GUI
  • 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
