• 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.

Updates?

Sometimes when I run MCX I see the following:



Normally this takes me to the download page, but, tonight, clicking on the "balloon" does nothing.
 
Hi,

Let me check, it's supposed to do so. But I also made some small changes to the code recently when I added the same notification to scenproc, so maybe I broke something.
 
It is still not working on W7 and I don't get the balloon on XP.
 
Hi,

I had a look and I know what is the cause. I made the balloon code a little more generic so that I could use the same code in ModelConverterX and scenProc. But with these changes it seems the event when you click doesn't trigger correctly. That's because I run it in a separate thread to keep the tool responsive while the website is queried for information about updates.

But I haven't had the time yet to find a fix for this issue.
 
Hi,

I have fixed this issue now. So from the next development release clicking on the balloon will open the website again.
 
Hi Arno,

have to disappoint you, it does not!

Oops, I first have to download the latest dev release manually, before it works, I guess?
Oops again:), I do not think that you have the latest dev release uploaded yet because the one I just installed is dated March 18th!

Let me check, but last night the new release should have bern build and uploaded ( automatically).
 
If you have installed the latest version with the fix there should not be a balloon :)
 
That is funny. I had the 26-3 dev release and the balloon came up. But clicking on it did not open the download page.
I manually downloaded and installed the latest (of 26-4) and the balloon did not show up any longer! Probably rather logical because I had just downloaded the latest dev. rel.:). Hence wondering, George, how you managed to get the balloon and the site come up again:confused:.
 
I updated last night and when I opened MCX this morning, the balloon appeared.
