Target Simulators

SimForge generates complete, standards-compliant packages for both major flight simulator platforms.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Full SimObject Package

aircraft.cfg Aircraft definition and metadata
flight_model.cfg Aerodynamic coefficients and tables
engines.cfg Engine parameters and performance
panel.cfg Panel layout and gauge definitions
HTML/JS Gauges Interactive cockpit instruments
LOD Meshes Multi-resolution 3D models

DCS World

Full Flyable Module

entry.lua Module entry point and registration
Cockpit Scripts Avionics and systems logic
Device Definitions Clickable cockpit device mapping
EDM Models DCS-native 3D model format
Clickable Data Interactive cockpit element definitions
Flight Model DCS EFM flight dynamics tables

Conversion Phases

35 tools organized across 5 sequential phases. Each phase builds on the output of the previous one.

Powered by Blender MCP

Blender MCP Integration

SimForge leverages Blender MCP for the entire mesh pipeline. Every mesh passes through Blender for optimization, material conversion, LOD generation, and format-specific exports.

  • ✓ Mesh optimization and polygon reduction
  • ✓ PBR material conversion to sim-native formats
  • ✓ 4-level LOD generation with configurable thresholds
  • ✓ glTF export for MSFS, EDM prep for DCS
  • ✓ UV optimization and texture atlasing

Fidelity Levels

Visual
Mesh + Textures Only

Export visual model with materials. No flight dynamics or instruments. Fast conversion for previewing in-sim appearance.

Basic
+ Basic Flight Model

Visual model plus AI-estimated flight model parameters. Flyable with reasonable aerodynamics. No custom instruments.

Full
+ Instruments + Systems

Complete conversion with cockpit instruments (HTML/JS for MSFS, Lua for DCS), systems simulation, and validated flight model.
