• 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.

I heard that someone within the sim community (and maybe there's actually more than one involved) was working on an FSX version of the highly secretive Aircraft Container Manager. Is there any truth to that. . .have there been any documented rumblings of such a project?

I found it mildly humorous and equally irritating that the FS9 version seemed to float around amongst the aircraft developers society hither and yon and was only spoken of in whispers or behind closed doors. Everyone who knew of it, would seem to suddenly have a case of memory loss if asked about it, as though they were a member of the Knights Templar guarding the Holy Grail, lol. (all spoken in jest fellas, so don't get your feathers all twisted, lol).

The fact is, it is (for the FS9 crowd) still an amazing program. I used it extensively for adding A2A redux light effects on all my airplanes among other things, but alas it will not function with FSX.

So what have you heard?
 
Question answered over at SOH. Apparently the originator of ACM is working on the coding for the FSX version, has been doing so since early last year (2009), so it could be quite a while before it's available. My hope is that it will be offered to the FS Community as a whole and not kept under wraps for developers only, which is what it appears was the case with the original program.

Anyway, that's the latest.
