Trying to create simple MSFS mod
Posted: 17 Jun 2023, 18:52
I am trying to do a simple mod of the default Wright Flyer, to convert it into one of the later versions that are actually useful to fly (Model A), as such I am trying to make a container in my community folder that references the binary files in the official folder but overrides just a few config file parameters, like the model name, fuel and engine performance. Has anyone done anything like that or know if an example where someone has done that.
I do have a program that will build the layout.json correctly and I can see the package in the content library, but it does not show up in the selectable aircraft. At one point I set the
[VARIATION]
base_container
to point to the default folder and then it showed up as a different livery of the original aircraft, but the performance parameters I was trying to change were not affected.
I did try to hand modify the original files in the official folder and I know the values I want to set will give me the effect I want, but I would rather leave that alone.
