I do not know if this is the right forum for this but after about 2 years of using FS9 I have decided that I would like to give something back to the community that has created so many great addons for the game. I would like to learn how to write .cfg and .air files along with creating panels to create very accurate realistic flight dynamics and systems (i.e. electric, hydraulics, etc.). For my first project I am thinking of doing a small relatively simple single engine prop. So here are my questions for those who may have answers:1. Where can I find how to edit the files necessary to create realistic flight models?2. Where can I find how to edit panels?3. How do I create aircraft systems such as electronics and hydraulics and even engine/system failures?If anybody has advice it would be much appreciated so that I can hopefully try and give back to the community.

Hi,I am new too. I think a simple answer the forum would give you is do some homework.Look at the tutoruials, ck with microsoft on FS9 to get the SDK's, Get the GMAX w/ tutorials,visit the libarary on this site etc.Wish you the best ....Wayner
