• 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.

Microbrain at it again - help

Not sure if this is the right spot - but here goes. Apparently M$ has decided that just giving us a free Visual Studio 2017 is not enough. They also want us to sign in on their site in order to use it. I didn't realize it came with a 30 day free trial or I never would have used it.... I don't see much of an advantage in using it over VS 2010.

Anyway, so I start VS2017 and it wants me to sign in to something... I presume my MS account. Fine. Oh, it says - We can't sign you in - your browser has javascript turned off. Huh? Really? I use Firefox and verified that it was enabled. I turned off no script, and it still complains. I also tried Internet Explorer (which I don't normally use) with no luck. Any ideas on how to get VS2017/the browser to work? VS2017 does not actually open the browser so I'm not even sure where it's looking.

And I know that M$ does not read here - but just to vent - WTF Microbrain???

OK - I found out what's wrong. Despite I use Firefox - VS2017 was apparently trying to start IE. A quick search found how to set javascript enables globally. Precisely why I don't use IE (excpet for Visual Studio).

So now they know who I am - probably recording keystrokes, making copies of files. Yippee! Another freedom gone.
