• 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.

This is slightly off-topic and definitely over-the-top but this document by Lockheed Martin sets out the C++ coding standards for the Joint Strike Fighter development. Somewhat surprisingly, it draws heavily on the UK-based Motor Industry Software Reliability Association guidelines.

Until I read it I throught my coding sandards weren't too bad!
 
Very interesting read! It's amazing some of the cool stuff you can find on Bjarne's site.

I usually try to adhere to the Microsoft Coding Standards given with the All-in-one sample framework. I like them because they are modern, lightweight, consistent with most other MS standards across the board, and contain guidelines for both C++ and .Net-based languages (of which I work with both).

I'm certainly not trying to suggest that Microsoft always knows best though. :) Some of the most cohesive coding standards I've seen come from the iOS/OSX camps for use with Objective-C.
 
The Microsoft standards are helpful.

But, Microsoft being Microsoft, they recommend using some Microsoft specific features! The LM document aims at ensuring compiler-specific features are not used.
 
I use the ScruffyDuck standard which are certainly scruffy but also watertight ;)

Seriously I use StyleCop with ReSharper for my C# development.
 
One of my former colleagues used the "Think-Bung-Optimise" method :D
 
I sincerely hope my investment of a two-inch-thick "C++ All-In-One for Dummies" will help me learn this language... of course this comes from a person who understands only the basics of HTML!
