Example

Configure the Advanced Fixed Wing Tool and set the aircraft to use the resulting performance models
[C#]
// Get the advanced fixed wing tool
IAgAvtrAdvFixedWingTool advFixedWingTool = aviatorAircraft.AdvFixedWingTool;
// Set the basic geometry
advFixedWingTool.WingArea = 300;
advFixedWingTool.FlapsArea = 50;
advFixedWingTool.SpeedbrakesArea = 10;
// Set the structural and human factor limits
advFixedWingTool.MaxAltitude = 65000;
advFixedWingTool.MaxMach = 0.98;
advFixedWingTool.MaxEAS = 460;
advFixedWingTool.MinLoadFactor = -2.5;
advFixedWingTool.MaxLoadFactor = 4.5;

// Opt to enforce the max temperature limit
advFixedWingTool.UseMaxTemperatureLimit = true;
advFixedWingTool.MaxTemperature = 900;

// Use a subsonic aerodynamic strategy
advFixedWingTool.AeroStrategy = AgEAvtrAdvFixedWingAeroStrategy.eSubsonicAero;
// Cache the aerodynamic data to improve calculation speed
advFixedWingTool.CacheAeroData = true;
// Use a high bypass turbofan
advFixedWingTool.PowerplantStrategy = AgEAvtrAdvFixedWingPowerplantStrategy.eTurbofanHighBypass;
// Cache the fuel flow data to improve calculation speed
advFixedWingTool.CacheFuelFlow = true;

// Create the corresponding performance models that reference the advanced fixed wing tool
// Specify the name, whether to override any existing models with the same name, and whether to set the new models as the default performance models
advFixedWingTool.CreateAllPerfModels("AdvancedModels", true, true);

// Save the changes in the catalog
