Custom WASM Flight Model development

Recommended Posts

Hello!
I want to have a poke at creating a skydiving/parachuting addon, which is a little different from powered aircraft.

Some of the issues were discussed here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/paid-parachuting-addon-i-know-there-is-an-fsx-freeware/552750/5

I have a lot of real world experience in it, as well as development, but finding it difficult to find good resources on getting started with doing a custom WASM flight model, which is what is needed for this type of "aircraft" scenario(s). 

eg: (from link above)
Skydiving/parachuting is unique in the sense that the flight model geometry of the human body/parachute morphs into many possible states, wheras the current SDK CFD implementation is based around a static geometry underlying the aircraft model, which makes sense for the use cases it was designed for but that doesn’t actually cover the full range of aerial use cases.

I've got some bits and pieces from different places, but was wondering if anyone had some good starter projects/guides for that here?

Thanks!
