# DA62<no value>
The `DA62` airplane sample can be downloaded from the [Help](../../../devmode/menus/help/) menu in DevMode. This sample contains a complete aircraft project, with all the files required by the simulation to fly the aircraft as well as source files which can be examined to see how the model was created and the flight files are set up. Once downloaded and installed, it can be found in the same folder as the other samples.

 

It is worth noting that the **Sources** folder contains contains an **Art** folder with 2 sub-folders: these contain the model files used for this project, one folder for the **3DSMax** files, and another for the **Blender** files. These can be used as reference projects when creating your own models for the simulation.

### Loading And Building The Project

In order to load and build the project in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, you must have previously enabled Developer Mode ([see here](../../../introduction/sdk-overview/) for more information). Once enabled, simply follow these steps:

 

-   Use the **Open project...** command from the [**File**](../../../devmode/developer-mode/) menu.

-   Select the file `DA62_SDK_Project.xml` from the `DA62` sample project.

-   The **Project Editor** should open automatically and show you the project `mycompany-aircraft-simple` (if the Project Editor doesn't open, then you can open it from the Developer Mode [**Tools** menu](../../../devmode/menus/tools/))

-   Clicking on the project in the Project Editor will open the **Inspector Window**, and here you need to click the `Build Package` button (if the Inspector Window does not open automatically, go to the **View** menu in the Project Editor and open it from there).

-   This will build a package from the files specified in your project. This package will be named `da62-sdk-aircraft` and will be output in the **Packages** folder created in the same directory as `DA62-SDK-Project.xml`:

-   Building the package will also install it into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and so you can now proceed to the aircraft selection screen and see your newly created plane:
