Seeking Developers to Collaborate on a Fouga Magister Model for MSFS 2020 - Resources Provided

Hello Francois,

I truly appreciate your passion for aviation, evident by your ownership of a Fouga Magister. It's not every day that someone reaches out with an offer as generous as yours, willing to provide resources to help with the development of a highly authentic aircraft model for a simulator. The Magister is an iconic piece of aviation history, and having such a detailed and accurate model in MSFS 2020 would certainly enhance the user experience for enthusiasts.

Conversion from FSX to MSFS 2020
First off, converting aircraft from older simulators like FSX to the latest MSFS can be tricky. MSFS 2020 utilizes a whole new set of technologies, especially regarding aerodynamics, rendering, and other core systems. Thus, a simple conversion might not bring out the best in terms of performance, graphics, or even flight characteristics.

Collaborative Approach
I believe collaboration is the way forward. With your resources (sounds, pictures for texturing, and specs), the community or potential developers would have a gold mine to craft an aircraft that not only looks good but also feels and sounds authentic. That, combined with the advanced physics engine of MSFS 2020, could make the Magister model something truly special.

Steps for Progress:

Gather All Resources: Before you approach developers, ensure you have a well-organized set of resources. High-quality photos from various angles, sounds (both internal and external), and detailed specs will be invaluable.

Engage the Community: While I'd recommend avoiding competing forums, there are many dedicated MSFS 2020 groups and Discord servers that would be interested in such a project. Seek them out and engage the community.

Reach Out to Established Developers: There are developers who've shown expertise in creating aircraft for MSFS 2020. Given the unique proposition you're offering, some might be very interested in this project.

Stay Involved: With your firsthand experience and resources, staying involved in the development process will ensure the final product remains true to the real thing.

As a side note, I took a look at www.fougamagister.com and must say that's a beautiful bird you've got. I'm sure many would love the chance to virtually fly something crafted with such authenticity.

From my knowledge, many in the community deeply value contributions from real-world aircraft owners. It bridges the gap between simulation and reality. Best of luck with your venture, and do keep us updated on the progress!
