The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 SDK gives you a great deal of flexibility when creating add-ons for the sim, starting with the tools available to you in Developer Mode and then going though all the different CFG and XML files that you can tweak and edit to create great content! However, sometimes you need even more control or depth to create that perfect add-on, which is where the programming tools available to you through the SDK come into play.
In this section we have information for those of you that have either created add-ons for previous versions of the flight sim, or that have experience programming, in particular using C#, C++ or JavaScript.
