cubanace Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Are there any tools to helps us make EFM for our mods/modules? No special downloads or anything ? Or is it just pure coding and upgrading PFM? SU-57 Discord https://discord.gg/kVUEak6b66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrovague Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If you haven't already, take a look at API/ExternalFMTemplate/ED_FM_Template in the DCS directory. There is a .sln file there that you can use to compile the whole thing in visual studio, and you can then use that dll as a flight model for your plane (make sure to select 64bit and release mode, else it doesn't work). It doesn't do much though, just a minimal example, but shows you exactly what the API looks like for implementing an EFM. The rest is up to you, lots of aeronautical and physics math equations etc., and coming up with an accurate model for your plane under all circumstances (attitudes, thrust conditions, control surface positions, damage etc.etc.). Not trivial. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
