• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    Latlonalt

    Hi, quick question. Does anyone know the format of the LATLONALT structure used by FS9? References can for example be found in gps_info.h. typedef struct LATLONALT { SIF48 lat; ANGL48 lon; SIF48 alt; } typedef union SIF48 { struct {...

    ILS in AFCAD and atc

    For the leg type abbreviations, read that first document page 206. Please don't just start duplicating the decompiled code. I certainly wouldn't be against seeing more approach bgl's being published, but it's very time-consuming: you have to be committed to study the documentations, study the...

    AFX By Flight1. Will this change you course Russell?

    Legally this is a *very* difficult subject. Imagine the FSX installation only put 2 files on your harddisk: readme.txt and afx_kjfk.bgl . The same EULA (a license agreement grants you limited rights to use the software, not own it by the way) applies to both files. No one will say its a...

    Are the FSX's interfaces documented anywhere??

    Hi I don't know if itrafficinfo is still supported in fsx, I guess not cause I dont find such include file in the sdk. (My previous post was mainly about fs9 im sorry to confuse you.) Here's how I found the function in acontain.dll . I put a breakpoint on the queryaircraftnearuser function of...

    Are the FSX's interfaces documented anywhere??

    They're not :rotfl: There has been some talk about the slow performance of the simconnect interface. I believe Pete Dowson said he was pushing aces to look into this. No one is stopping you from running FSX in a debugger and find the internal function calls yourself. This is how FSUIPC...

    Announcing some new FS Tools

    The data in the airport facility files is licensed to Jeppesen. For that same reason they probably cannot include an AFCAD program with the SDK. These databases cost a lot of money. If you have ever used the BGL2XML decompiler to see how the approaches are coded, you can clearly notice how...
