 ===== Supported Modelling tools =====
-Currently (30th January 2017) the Aerofly FS 2 Software Development Kit ([[sdk:intro|SDK]]) supports 3D Studio Max 2010 or higher, Maxon Cinema 4D version 17 and AC3D version 8.

 ===== Robin DR-400 - Example Aircraft =====
-In the [[sdk:intro|SDK]] we have included an entire aircraft project, the Robin DR-400, including its 3D model and textures. By following the few steps of the [[sdk:aircraft:tutorial|aircraft tutorial]] the necessary development programs will be installed and at the end of the tutorial the DR-400 will be installed as an additional aircraft in the simulator.

+==== Propeller ====
+Aerofly FS 2 needs two models for the propeller. First is the static / solid model including the spinner / hub and the blades as separate objects. Second is the propeller disk, this is the blurred hull of the spinning propeller. The propeller disk needs to have a planar mapping from the front such that the disk fills the UV unit square. The corresponding texture is applied to the prop disk such that the bottom is at the center and the top is at the tips, left side is facing forward and right side is applied onto the back. Refer to the DR-400 example aircraft and the 'prop_color.bmp' for an example.
