MSFS SDK 2024 Tutorial - Create a Basic Project

[@alexL-uh1db]

Thank You Federico!!!! You explained this tutorial in a way that I was finally able to build my own airport and scenery. You explained it in fine detail. I followed your steps and it works! You just made my day 🤩🤩👍👍👍👍

[@klausijoe]

Thank you so much! The first tutorial for MSFS 2024 I found. Please show us, how to prepare BLENDER-object for import in MSFS 2024. Grazie mille!

[@hansenc10]

Yes, it could be great with a tutorial covering making a model in Blender eg 3.6 and with an automated pluging for creating LODs and then export it to FS2024 ;-)

[@folcoav]

7:37 this part helped so much! thankkssssssss

[@VoandoPreator]

Love your tutorials,thank you,they will help me to learn and improve FS24!

[@artyke]

Prego! It´s amazing help!!!! Love the tutorial. You are great. Please make more videos doing scenery changes. Thank you so much! ciao :)

[@Andrewhg1995]

I'm sure glad that Dev Mode all seems pretty similar! Thanks for the refresher for 2024. Great tutorials from a great teacher!

[@phcos1]

Yeah!!! "Manu - Federico - My sceneries Maestro" is back for MSFS2024. For those who didn't know him yet, you'll become a fan, as every single of his video is a gem. I need to go check every scenery I made for msfs2020, thanks to you, and make them run for 2024. I have checked with my local airport and find out that in my 2020 scenery some of the persons and static planes are no more visible. I noticed that some elevations have changed too. I need to readjust their vertical position. I'm using the Steam version, and had no problem to install it on the first day. I was not able to use it later that day ( just like everyone), but now it seems fully functional, and it's AMAZING. Even the prettiest model use make-up, so let's make our already beautiful game even more realistic with the sceneries that we will create with your tutorials. Thank you Manu. PhilUSA

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

@@phcos1 hey buddy! Yep some Simobject have changed their name so those must be fixed to see again, also elevation are now tricky because of bump mapping, SDK team is working on it

[@Mkvy]

@@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS that sounds worrying! About sim objects

[@Artendo100]

The Thumbnails are a great improvment from the SDK in 2020. I hope i can use my old exclusions from my 2020 sceneries. Thank you this great Tutorial Series.

[@brianbuckley6713]

Fantastico. Great to see you doing another video Federico. You are looking well my friend. A great refresher for the new sim. Grazie

[@greglaw4451]

This is an excellent reminder of how to build a project. Thanks Federico.

@@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS would be great to see manual from you on exporting 3D models from Blender to MSFS2024. I have downloaded blender with installed 2024 gltf exporter from your discord but it not creates textures or any xml files, unfortunately it seems not easy. Many thanks in advance!

@@Mkvy your Gatwick is some very detailed stuff... Actually it really depends how well you have being doing your 3d objects

@ fingers crossed! All 3000 of them! I'm not back to planet Gatwick until end of the month, though probably best, everything should have settled down by then with the issues @ asobo

I may have it ready before fs2028 is released

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

@Mkvy major airports will have to deal with all the airport services/passengers new features Think everyone should take its time, especially freeware developers, because in the end it is just a very enjoyable hobby!

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

I had no idea all these tools were built-in to do this. I might just have to build out my local airport that is butchered in the sim. Like they have the runway on a taxiway bad!

[@phcos1]

@@jasonhurdlow6607 I know an airport where the runway is the taxiway. Are you from Ridgeland in SC? If yes, you can look at my scenery of 3j1. Runway, Taxiways, hangars, fbo, some famous local aircrafts and Denis hangar where he is building the P51 from scratch. All of that by following Manu's videos.

[@Akatoshsky]

Hi Federico, how are you? I wanted to know if you could upload a video tutorial at some point on how to add extra models from Blender to MSFS 2024 with the new Blender plugin. I've tried all the ways, but without success. Greetings, I'll be waiting.

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

[@jonaschen6712]

This is an excellent tutorial! After watching your video, I tried to remove a building on myself. I found that I can remove a building that comes with the original installation of msfs2024. But somehow, I just couldn’t remove buildings from add-ons. Is it possible to do that?

[@efrenreyes-c3y]

Hi, I used to do a build first, after starting a new project to create the folders and folder structure for the project- no need to do this anymore in the beginning? You said, that NEVER have the scenery you are working on in the community folder- why is that? You do not have to download the SDK and librarys to start with in MSFS 2024, as in 2020- it is already there? Thanks!

[@VoandoPreator]

Hi...can tou make a tutorial,step by step,(this one here is very confusing) about street lights,antenas and removing vegetation? Also,how can I install SDK in FS24?

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

You don't need to install the SDK, it is included in base game as shown in the video Addition downloads are anyway available in the Help menu (but again, no needed to achieve what is shown in the video and a lot of other stuff) Sorry you find it confusing The video in showing the basic project only, that's the purpose, not to go deep in every menu (that would be very confusing)

[@saytoga]

What type you use if you want to develop a mobile app that interact with Flight Simulator from iOS and Android? Is it also Custom type?

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

@@saytoga it depends upon the technology you want to use Wasm require a project with a Copy assetgroup type, so Custom is perfect For a standalone Simconnect application you don't need anything in the game, unless you need it for the very specific task you are creating the app for

[@alexfaf0107]

could you explain how to move a scene from MSFS2020 to MSFS2024? THANKS

[@speedbird8326]

Do you know why aircraft on the ground in FS2024 pop into view as you are overflying an airport or landing at the last moment ? It's very immersion-destroying.

[@MSFS-SDK-TUTORIALS]

@@speedbird8326 most likely bad LODs But The game is very intensive on both CPU and GPU, you may need to decrease you settings because the game has a Dynamic Level of details feature that help keeping FPS at details cost

[@speedbird8326]

@ Thanks but I have dynamic settings turned off. I have a 7800x3D and a 4090 with 64 GB of ram so I think that should be enough. I tend to agree that it is an overly aggressive LOD system implemented in FS 2024. I never had this problem in FS 2020.
