i saw this, but where is price for alien materials? or there are other files?

ShipIt:
alienmaterials are defined in otheritems.ufo
aircraft defs are in components.ufo

You will also need a model to be shown in the ufopaedia and battlescape, another low-poly one for the geoscape. And map tiles.

Noordung:
thx.

battlescape model? but there are no mission on crashed interceptors? so do i really need battlescape version?

geever:
I'm afraid that adding a new aircraft is not that easy...

One thing you missed is the tech entry (see research.ufo)

But also I remember some nasty enums in the C code wired-in for aircraft types which makes it impossible to add new planes without changing the sourcecode. :(

Noordung:
i see... so would it be possible to change that code so more aircrafts could be added later?
