• 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.

Guess there is no "AeroFlyConnect.dll" yet? For the Cockpit builders...

I believe that's in the SDK as this quote from the SDK announcement says:

This update is a preparation for our initial SDK version. With this version Aerofly FS 2 can send flight information to an external DLL or over a network connection and can receive new messages from the DLL or via network. Its currently not public yet.

Actually, Ron, they do. I do not remember the name of the program they use, but it links in with airplanes or scenery and is a background program manager. I want to say its Microsoft Visual Studio and I believe its C++ code. (I know nothing of this tech). I believe I read of this on the Discussions forum in Steam.

I never thought to look at the forums at IPACS. argh... I'll bet they have a huge forum system there.

I want to start animating the Q200.

What an odd place for a tree though, right in front of the rabbit lights?

I had to reset back to Beta to get the update. 150 Megs. Small download.

I wonder if I can link up my Samsung VR to my computer? Have to google this. I want to see what thats like in Aerofly. They say its amazing!

I know I can get a steady 120fps with everything set to ultra on my 1080, and that it has tech for 1 pass 3d vr rendering.... I just have to decide which headset I want to buy.

That DeHavilland Twin just looks brilliant! I can hardly wait to fly that baby.

Very nice F15's. The USAF boys will be loving that. They will want Florida so they can do exercises out there by their base. I wish we still had 15's at our Luke AFB.
 
I just took up the 172 for a flight around my town, Northwestern Phoenix out of Deer Valley at sunset. So beautiful. Its so dang realistic to me, the scenery, the roads, the sky, the sun, the bump mapping. The darn Tarmac is absolutely brilliant. So glad these guys did this simulator.
