== Exporting aircraft model ==
To check in the game the aircraft model you created you should:
# Create a folder in '''<game directory>\WarThunderCDK\develop\assets\gameres\aircrafts\<your aircraft's name>'''
# Put all the textures required for your aircraft in the folder (see. model requirements)
# Export all the LOD's of undamaged and damaged plane's condition in DAG format to this folder. '''Tip:''' by default you need 4 lods with names '''<aircraft name>.lod0X.dag''', '''<aircraft name>_dmg2.lod0X.dag''' where '''X''' is LOD's number, from 0 to 3, but amount of levels of detalization as well as their filenames can be changed in '''.folder.blk''' or in special file '''<your aircraft name>.dynmodel.blk''' and '''<your aircraft name>_dmg2.dynmodel.blk'''
# Export collision models and penetration models with the name '''<your aircraft name>_dm.dag'''. Similar you can change this names in '''.folder.blk''' or in '''<your aircraft name>_dm.aces.blk'''
# If aircraft has special animations, then you need to load animation in A2D format: '''<aircraft name>_anim.a2d'''
# Then you should start AssetViewer - program to view and export models to the game. If you see that model looks fine and after you make sure that console displays no error messages, in program menu (or context menu of your aircraft's folder ) select '''Export All'''

== Preparing aircraft for the flight ==
*In folder '''<game directory>\content\pkg_user\gameData\flightModels\''' create a file '''<aircraft name>.blk''', add parameter '''model:t=''' name of your aircraft's model. SAmple of such file and its settings you can find in War Thunder CDK package.
*Now in folder '''<game directory>\UserMissions''' you should create or change one of the existing missions, adding your aircraft as player's aircraft.
*In '''Menu''' -> '''User Missions''' choose this mission and if everything was done right you will see your aircraft flying in game
 

== If your aircraft has cockpit ==
*To create cockpit you should create a separate modelm which you should upload to '''<game directory>\WarThunderCDK\develop\assets\gameres\cockpits\<your aircraft name>'''.
*Undamaged condition, damage condition _dmg2, and animations are uploaded from '''3ds Max''' similar to the name ''<aircraft name>_cockpit.lod00.dag''', '''<aircraft name>_cockpit_dmg2.lod00.dag''' and '''<aircraft name>_cockpit_anim.a2d'''. Detalization levels and collision models are obviously not needed.
*Config file of the aircraft should have block '''cockpit{}''' or near config file there should be a file '''<aircraft name>.cockpit.blk''' with this block (sa,ple is in WarThunderCDK package).
 

== Adding cockpit to already existing aircraft ==
To add cockpit to already existing aircraft do the following:
* Create cockpit modelСоздать модель кабины ([[3D models for cockpits|see. Technical Requirements for cockpit models]]) and export it to the game from assetviewer.
* Create a file '''<game directory>\content\pkg_user\gameData\flightModels\<internal aircraft name>.cockpit.blk''' Sample of such a config file is in WarThunderCDK package
'''Notes:'''
''You can get a list of internal aircraft names using mission editor which you can find in War Thunder CDK package. You can create cockpits only for aircraft which do not have cockpit in the game yet.''
