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.

Cant Wait
You got the access to the cockpit to take pictures?
Not yet.... But this will get me a long way to start

I just finished redrawing the coastline of Morocco (1835 km) that is in addition to the coastline already redesigned the Sahara occindentale (1110 Km). Data source NASA SRTM 1 arc sec. Terrain Mesh resampled at LOD11.

I'm working on a plane loosely (very loosely) based off the gulfstream g650. I've started a blog about my progress, and it can be found here: https://itrytomakeaplane.wordpress.com

Working on a new career mode for FSX.
Not sure I can do it better than AirHauler and FSEconomy but let's try
C++?
If you're working in XML, you can expand on my attempt.

Looks cool, I def have a closer look.
Not working with C++, though.
My "main objective" is to somewhat combine a career mode with a simple VA functionality which means it needs a persistent online world.
I write the server part in Node.js and to keep the stack simple the client is mostly node as well with a c#-bridge to connect to FSUIPC/FSX.
I could imagine not all of you would support this choice of techstack but well, deal with it
I didn't plan to bring any UI elements into FSX itself so the actual interaction with FSX is fairly minimal anyway.

If your main objective is online functionality, you could interact with the save files generated by MIT. Write a module that runs in the background when FSX is running. It queries your online database for the VA's funds and reputation and the status of its fleet and accordingly modifies the save files generated by MIT or the variables for Funds, Reputation and aircraft lock status at runtime.
That way, you'd already have a frontend in FSX and only need to worry about the backend.
MIT might have to be equipped with an installer though to make aircraft integration easier.
Also, I suggest using SimConnect instead of FSUIPC though as comes free with FSX and P3D.

I'll look into it but I'm already quite some time into the development so I probably won't change the undercarriage entirely.
However it's always good to get some more examples that do similar things as the lack of documentation is disturbing.
I was looking into both, FSUIPC as well as SimConnect and at the end I just went with FSUIPC because I could get it to work "easily" and it has some documentation.
Why would you suggest SimConnect rather than FSUIPC for this? What would be the advantage in your opinion?
