| ABL

provides developers of adventures and lessons access to and control of aircraft and game
parameters without requiring extensive programming knowledge. |
|
Aircraft
Container SDK |
This SDK describes the Aircraft Container system in
detail, explaining how the different files work together. It provides information on how
to modify and share components among existing aircraft. It does not explain how to create
new aircraft. |
| ATC
Voicepack SDK |
The ATC Voicepack SDK describes the tools used to
design and build air traffic control voicepacks for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. The
term "voicepack" refers to a compressed file (.gvp file) that contains all of
the content (audio and text) required by the ATC system. The SDK includes the information
you need to create a fully functional voicepack for Flight Simulator 2004. |
| BGLComp

The BGLComp SDK describes the latest version of the
BGL scenery language compiler. |
| FSEdit
SDK |
The Aircraft Editor (FSEdit) tool enables you to:
- Modify, add, or delete aircraft.
- Add, delete, or change aircraft panels, including gauges, instruments, and radios.
- Change, play, or remove sound files.
- Modify aircraft textures.
- Alter flight dynamics. |
| gmax
Gamepack SDK |
Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2004 includes gmax, a
3D modeling tool from discreet. The gmax SDK contains four separate SDKs, bundled together
in one download and install. |
| Make
Model SDK |
MakeMDL (MakeMDL.exe) is a program that converts
3-D models you create with modeling tools, such as gmax (a 3-D modeling tool from discreet
included with Flight Simulator 2004), into scenery or aircraft objects that work with
Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2004. |
| Multiplayer
and Flight Instructor SDK |
This SDK is aimed at developers who want to build
add-on products for Flight Simulator specifically designed to take advantage of its
multiplayer capabilities. For example, you could use this information to create an add-on
application that holds races between multiple players on the Internet or on a local area
network (LAN). |
| Panels
and Gauges SDK |
Provides the information you need to create new
gauges and panels for aircraft in Flight Simulator 2004. |
| Special
Effects SDK |
The Flight Simulator 2004 special effects system
places emitter points in the Microsoft Flight Simulator world, which then spew forth
particles. These particles can have rules of physics applied selectively and creatively to
approximate a variety of real-world effects--from wakes on pontoons to fireworks above Las
Vegas. This particle-based effects system has been improved from the previous version,
especially with the introduction of the "controller effect." A controller is an
effect that can emit other effects, creating a great degree of subtlety and variety. |
| Terrain
SDK |
The Terrain SDK explains how to add new line and
polygonal data such as roads, rivers, coastlines and lakes to the Flight Simulator 2004
terrain system. |
| Traffic
Toolbox SDK |
The Traffic Toolbox is a set of tools and utilities
that allow you to view and customize the AI (“artificial intelligence” or
computer-controlled) aircraft traffic in Flight Simulator. |
| Weather
Themes SDK |
Weather themes are new to the latest version of the
product and a simple way for users to experience visually appealing and challenging
simulated weather. This SDK describes how to create and distribute weather themes for
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight using a special theme creation tool. |
