• 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.

In this blog post I want to explain some things about the new development releases of my tools that I just put online. This time it is not an announcement for new exciting functionalities, but it is to let you know that the last week I have been updating my .NET projects. I started working on ModelConverterX in 2007 and at that time it was my first C# project. Since then I have of course learned a lot of new things, but the basic why my .NET projects were structured did not change a lot. Recently I was noticing that this limited me to use new libraries and other recently developments. So I have now upgraded all my projects to the .NET SDK format so that I can go to more recent versions of .NET in the (near) future. Also I have used NuGet more to get the 3rd party libraries that I use.

The development release that is now online does still target the same .NET version as before I changed the project version. So it still uses .NET Framework 4.8. But I plan that somewhere in the next weeks I will try to upgrade to a more recent version, probably I’ll go to .NET 8 directly. Once that is changed I will of course announce it.

The changes I made now have changed quite a lot internally. I did quite some testing to make sure everything still works, but still it could be I missed something. So if you have any issues with the latest development release, please let me know on the forum or by email.
