MSFS Dev - Thrust Vectoring


Recommended Posts

I'm new to MSFS 2020 development (come from x plane 11) and could not find any resources on how to implement a thrust vectoring system. Trying to build an evtol with tilting rotors but cannot find how to implement such a feature. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

 

trying to make something similar to the below image:

Hi Lorben. I don't think this is forum will be much help, since we're mostly users and not developers.

 

Head over to the official MSFS forums. I think they'll be able to help you a lot better than we can.

 

Here is a link to the Third Party subforum:

And here is one to the SDK subforum:

Good luck!

It might be early days for that kind of physics in MSFS... might not be doable without your own physics addon. Helicopters are not available for MSFS, officially, because there is no code to support that kind of flight... well, not from MS or Asobo...

 

But a gentleman named Fred Naar has been making his own helicopter physics for several sims, and now has a version being used by several projects including free and pay helos for MSFS:

There may be another who's done something similar, so now there is an H-135, EC-145, Bell 47, and Robinson R44 for MSFS that doesn't have any programming for helos! And there is an Aerospacial Squirel/Ecureuille (now Airbus H-125, same heli renamed) comming soon too. For a sim that doesn't yet support rotorbirds!

 

So a tilt-rotor config like yours might need some fancy creativitity to make it fly right.

 

You could try FSDeveloper, there are people who might be able to help you, or at least give advice:
