• 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.

    MSFS24 MSFS 2024 post release bugs

    I have been watching and I have a very long blogpost I have not posted yet. For me, the biggest issue is their choice to stream the actual menus and career mode. This was a massive mistake, and they should 100% allow two key things to happen if this franchise is to avoid another 10 year gap...

    I just came back to say Happy Birthday to this Arno fella

    Its funny, you always feel older, but you always look back to see a picture and think "damn, i looked good then" ;) My reliable time clock wife tells me its about 22 years or so since we started out on those old projects. That. Is. Nuts.

    MSFS20 -Everything you know about upcoming Flight Sim from Microsoft-

    You can sign up to the Alpha, and apply to be a third party developer, and email the team for that. For me, i LOVE the way things are going here. Its a clear and concise message from the new team that they are committed to a successful and well developed product. They are slowly introducing...
