• 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.

... past few days i have been asking questions and showing things off for your feedback, it feels like i am being ignored.

What is the problem? what have I done wrong?
 
People DO get busy with other things sometimes ;-) Quite a few of us were at the FS Weekend (and making preparations for it the week prior).
 
Hi,

I think in general concrete questions get most feedback. Threads showing or announcing progress in general get less responds. But that is not weird given the nature of this forum :).
 
arno is right, the dc8 project thread gets about 600 views a day sometimes 1000+ and nobody responds unless I ask a question, just depends what it is that you are posting, hey, you got a respond on this thread, so no we are not ignoring you :-]
 
Join the club. :D

At first I thought people were intimidated by my handsome eyebrows......
 
One of the hazards of not communicating face to face, I suppose. I know I've had my moments when I've felt the same way over the years. Pretty tight-knit bunch of folks around here though, don't think you have anything to worry about. :)

I think you haven't started a thread yet where you ask a question and reply to your question many times as you find answers yourself. I see a lot of threads like that here.
 
We all get 'ignored' from time to time - it is nothing personal :)
 
It happens...
When I developed my Azerbaijani airport, barely anyone gave it any notice! At first, I thought my project was horrible, but then again, maybe everyone liked it but no-one had anything to say...


...then again, it could have been a horrible addon indeed... :o
Ah, the shame of being a pathetic amateur developer.... :(
Then again, I don't live or come from anywhere around that area, so I didn't have enough resources to work with...

Also, some folks here are not even developers but join the forum so that they can keep track of new projects. They can subscribe to threads those which they like but may never respond to anything.
 
I see, but it is nice to get some feedback on preview shots - pushes us developers alot lot further
 
I am too often ignored as well:mad: but only by my wife :D.
Feedback on preview shots would push us husbands a lot further:).

PS: I get :confused: by all those smileys.

Perhaps people who don't like the previews don't wish to hurt your feelings by posting negative comments ;)
 
Well i think gettign negative comments will be good to push you further and make it look better up to present day standards
 
True
Then there are the blant and insulting comments, or the comments that refuse to acknowledge anything that's right and just focus on the cons you can't control.... :(
 
I mean something like

"the windows look a bit too big"
"the textures are not very detailed"

Things that can be fixed...but this is a developer forum like we all know, so therefore as developers we know what can and can not be fixed so they dont really apply - but if someone didnt like my projects... I would sure like to know and why
 
Hi,

Besides the joking, let me be constructive for once.
I think you have added more than enough detail to your airport scenery (most of which will probably be an ordeal anyway on a lower end computer).
So why do you not concentrate on integrating your scenery into the surrounding terrain ( something which you may have done already but that many developers forget about resulting in an ugly patch of detailed but unintegrated terrain when looking at it from a certain distance).
Even when flying in with a helicopter, I will not feel the need of taking a second look at those fuel pumps you so delicately built.
Mind you, I make the same mistakes myself but try to avoid them.
Nevertheless, when nobody tells you but only praises you into your grave, it is not going to help either :).
 
I understand that I may have put too much detail into my models and may cause lag on some users computer, however, we're in the year 2011, so I presume most people now have computers powerful enough to run FS2004 and its peak.

Moreover, my extreme level of detail will never be lowered, it will get greater and greater, just want to show my audience that I am certainly not a lazy developer and take extreme care in my modding.

There are also people (like me) that make videos from amazing views, and could lead to someone watching that video, liking the scenery and then buying it.

This is a small GA airfield I am making, with a very few buildings, so therefore I can add more detailed buildings to compensate.
 
Then again, you might be surprised at how many simmers run XP with maybe a gig of ram and a 256mb apg gpu. That system will not run detailed scenery in FS9. Folks that develope have better rigs, but it may not be possible to assume most others do. I also run FS on a brand new laptop. I3, 4gb ram. But because there is no real gpu, too much detail drags it down.
