• 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.

FSACARS type software for VA's

Its been a dream of mine, to create a system for VA's that is better than FSACARS. Basicaly, the program would do the same thing, but add extra stuff like the aircraft's flightpath, instead of there being a big baloon, there would be a plane. I would also want the program to send the landing info like 30ft per minute descent on touchdown and record al that info for pilots. so if you where to click on a link of some sort, it would show all the flights done by that person on the google earth map.The explanation is kinda confusing but I would like to know what programming language this sort of thing would be best made in. Obviously, I need to learn php, but for the program itself. Something like c++ or C#. I really have no programming knowledge whatsoever, but I would like to learn as I go.
 
If you have no programming experience at all and have nevert been exposed to a programming language then you might like to consider C#. Although those who use C++ may not agree, C# is probably easier to use since the managed code takes care of some of the memory management and garbage collection issues that the programmer must ahdnle themselve in C++. The laternative would be Visual Basic. Both C# and Visual Basic are dotNET languages. If you had some experience of Basic then you might find Visual Basic easier (although it is quite different than older forms of Basic) otherwise take a look at C#. You can download Visual C# 2008 Express from Microsoft and use it for free.
