HAL Tejas Aircraft for FlightGear

[Maccc]

Greetings fellow FlighGear heads!

I am working on a project which needs Hal Tejas LCA (link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_Tejas). I couldn't find the aircraft model on the official website. I came across some posts that had links to a website that ad an archive of FG Aircrafts but that site is not functional now, their domain is for sale. I would really appreciate if someone would provide me the whole aircraft model package with the model and .xml files.



Thank you.

Hello Maccc,

from a forum search, it seems like the aircraft was developed in 2008 (15 years ago) at viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2233.

Since there doesn't seem to have been any development since then, I'm afraid it's rather improbable that even if someone can dig up the archive from back then, it would work at all or reasonably well with current FG versions, so unless I missed something, your best chance is probably to use a similar aircraft or start the project from scratch.

Best Regards

Hello D-ECHO,
Thanks for the reply

It is crucial for me to find that specific aircraft, even if it's an old model. I request if anyone has the model, kindly share it with me or point me towards the archive website so I can start digging.
An other alternative would be to kindly assist me on how to create one from scratch. I have a decent aircraft model in blender that I can export in .ac format. Where I am stuck is the .xml file. I have never animated models in that way so a little help would be really apricated.

Thank you.

I'm no expert on this but the wiki should give you a good starting point:
