Role overview
We are seeking a skilled individual with hands-on experience developing for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. The role focuses on implementing aircraft systems and logic using the MSFS SDK, with particular emphasis on XML/RPN behaviors, configuration files, and well-structured package development. You will work closely with project leads, flight model designers and artists to bring aircraft systems, animations, and interactions to life in a performant, SDK-compliant, and maintainable way.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain aircraft systems using MSFS SDK XML and RPN logic
- Implement and manage Behaviors, Templates, and Components within the MSFS framework
- Edit, configure, and maintain MSFS CFG files
- Tune aircraft systems, avionics, and interactions through CFG and XML integration
- Create, structure, and maintain MSFS package sources (SimObjects, ModelBehaviors, Panels, etc.)
- Ensure compatibility across MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 projects
- Debug, optimise, and refine existing systems for stability, realism, and performance
- Follow MSFS SDK best practices to support future updates and modular development
Requirements
- Solid knowledge of XML and RPN, specifically within the MSFS SDK
- Strong experience working with MSFS Behaviors (animations, logic, interactions)
- Ability to edit and manage aircraft configuration files (aircraft.cfg, systems.cfg, panel.cfg)
- Ability to create, organise, and maintain MSFS package sources correctly
- Good understanding of MSFS project structure and build workflow
- Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
Nice to have
- Experience with FS24 modular package architecture
- Understanding of creating and maintaining modular packages for MSFS 2024
- Experience with complex aircraft systems (electrical, fuel, avionics, etc.)
- Familiarity with gauges, templates, macros, and reusable SDK components
- Prior released MSFS aircraft or mods
Benefits
- Competitive rates
- Opportunity to showcase your work and build your personal portfolio on high-profile, highly detailed aircraft projects
- A supportive, creative, and collaborative team environment
- Continuous learning and professional growth opportunities
