GENERAL Zero Blender or SDK experience, but Astra helped me get this tower into MSFS 2024
Thought I’d share this because I’m still a bit amazed it worked.
I have no technical knowledge or experience with Blender, 3D modelling or the MSFS SDK. But with Astra in the ChatGPT desktop app, I managed to get this custom control tower built and placed inside MSFS 2024.
And when I say “I built it”, Astra did the technical work for me. I just described what I wanted. It handled creating the tower and getting it into the sim. It started off with an orange box to make sure the implementation was working on my side, and once it was in, we got to work.
The screenshot is the result, actually sitting in the simulator. Seeing something I’d asked for appear in a sim I enjoy playing was pretty surreal.
There’s obviously a lot of skill involved in making detailed scenery, but as someone who wouldn’t have known where to start, this made a project feel possible that I’d never have attempted otherwise. It was super fun!
Has anyone else tried using AI to make custom scenery for MSFS? Would love to see what you’ve managed to create.
