• 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.

IRC Dev chat?

So, back when I was more active in game development I hung out in the #gamedev channel on an IRC server that was populated with other devs. It was an alternative to forums like GameDev.net and gave me a chance to talk to other devs about problems and issues right away in many cases rather than wait for forum responses.

Now, chat can be distracting to many people, and even I don't really make much use of chat rooms anymore to be honest. I tell myself it would be cool to have open while I'm working (on FSX projects) - but at the same time it's while I'm working and usually like working without being disturbed. but still - is there an FSX dev chat anywhere that is active? I wouldn't mind giving chat another shot - especially if more of the experienced devs wouldn't mind hanging out there.
 
Hi,

I haven't heard of something like that before.

Years ago I used to hang around at the avsim irc channel quite often. But now I don't use it anymore.

If there is a lot of interest in something like this we could alway start on as FSDeveloper I guess :). But you need to people to use it, to be succesfull.
 
yea the #gamedev chat was pretty well-trafficked (still is, I hear) so that was indeed key to making it worthwhile to hang out in
