• 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.

    Convert Google Earth polyline into flight plan

    Is there any tool that allows to convert a Google Earth polyline (kml) into a FS9 and/or FSX flight plan ? I'm doing a lot of my flight planning in GE, and it would be great to be able to load the created courses as flight plan into FS. Thanks.

    Does dsd_supercharger.gau by Doug Dawson work in FSX?

    Does dsd_supercharger.gau by Doug Dawson work in FSX? I've stumbled across it in Tom Kohler's b50f_911.zip. Doug, in case you read this, I've said it already, but I'll say it again. I believe it would be great to have your work either all together in one place, or at least all gauges...

    Just a test

    Just testing - can't postmessages in forum. Edit: Found what was wrong; Seems the message editor does not accept the word "x_replace" in a message under some circumstances... (Note I had to put an "x_" before the r-word for the message to pass.) In other circumstances the r-word goes...
