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
  • 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
