# SimpleAircraft<no value>
The `SimpleAircraft` sample is a [Modular SimObject](../../../content-configuration/modular-simobjects/modular-simobjects/) showcasing a single aircraft created using the "modular" format, and including additional **liveries**.

 

 

### 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 `SimpleAircraftProject.xml` from the `SimpleAircraft` sample project.

    alt="SimpleAircraft Project Directory" >}}

 

-   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/))

-   Once loaded into the editor, you can simply click on the `Build All In Project` button to build the sample. Note that this should be done from the main menu of the simulation - *before* starting a flight - if you wish to see the different aircraft modules listed as selectable aircraft.

 

-   This will build a package from the files specified in your project. This package will be named `mycompany-aircraft-simple` and will be output in the **Packages** folder created in the same directory as `SimpleAircraftProject.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 aircraft:

### Liveries

The SimpleAircraft package includes different **liveries** for the aircraft. These can be accessed from the aircraft selection screen by clicking on the aircraft and selecting the **Configure** option:

    alt="Configuring The SimpleAircraft Sample" >}}

 

From this screen and you'll be able to select one of the three available liveries:

-   "Default"
-   "Aluminium"
-   "Matte Blue"
