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.

It is not wrong if you have ambition to build something extraordinary.
However it is not a poker game, keeping all the cards only to yourself. You need to show what you have before saying some ambitious words.

Early on in that thread I provided some thoughts and tried to input a positive spin to the thread that at the time was going south fast due to some accusations being leveled at him by people that were clueless and just wanted to beat him down.
Frankly, I think the guy has absolutely no idea what bringing a product to market actually entails. His first endeavor was attempting to start a VA, and his initial post read just like many VA start-up posts I have read in various forums. That said, it was just as easy to try and give some positive guidance as it would have been to whack him like everyone else seems to want to do.

Sometimes the only thing people can show is their interest and enthusiasm. 5 years ago I was clueless. I knew nothing about development or even programming. Yet Colin took the risk and brought me onboard at Milviz which opened up the environment for me to learn and get to where I am now today.
I sometimes wonder how much talent out there is being buried because we want to see results and skills first rather than consider the potential that a clueless and apparently useless wannabe might have if those of us who have mastered our respective arts would take them under our wings and teach and nurture them, carefully encouraging them and guiding them to become what we can make them. Especially in the gauge development and programming realm. There is a huge shortage of talented gauge programmers in the payware world. So much so that a programmer can almost make or break a company. Anyone who gains the necessary skills could quickly be snapped up by almost any team. It took 6 professional programmers to teach me the basics in addition to all the extra knowledge I have gained from members here at FSDeveloper and other communities. Looking back, I can say they did a pretty good job. Perhaps there are many youngsters (or even greybeards) around here on FSDeveloper that pros should keeping an eye out for, who can outdo their teachers once taught.

Many people give up halfway because they underestimate the complexity and work needed to work around FS add on. Fact is if you are good enough, you can probably earn way more out there then doing FS development.
The other part of the negativity comes from the fact that we as humans don't want people to get a free ride of ourself. There are many individuals that try to come here and recruit when they themselves know nothing about FS Development and end up wasting the recruited time.

... he'd get similar responses, just not so many of 'em. I did idly wonder why the OP asked here, since he was an active participant in the linked AVS thread, but it's of little interest. Yawn.
If only I had a dollar for every new developer with plans to compete with the main fs developers...
AVSIM thread has gone but I could read it on Google cache. It's nice to have big dreams but it really needs to be backed up with some hard work if they are ever going to come to fruition.
He also posted in the panel and dev forums though (no replies yet to that thread):

LMAO at this most humorous term to describe FSDeveloper Forums !
And I once thought my own past use of the term "FS-Illuminati" was funny !

Well people need ambition to learn to develop, so I don't think we should be too harsh on them for letting their minds wonder where their skills aren't capable of taking them yet.
When Kennedy announced to send people to the moon the technology wasn't there, they had only put a man into IVA orbit 6 months before, the vision had to come first.

But Kennedy had the resources of the entire USA. These people's thread was removed by AVSIM - eventually! It website is still advertising for children -"Must be 14 years or above" - despite having being warned on AVSIM.

Nobody's going to apply, if the do it'll be a life experience. Not a good one mind!

Since the topic at AVSIM was locked and hidden by Jim, you folks never got to see the reply he'd made just prior to the lock, where he stated that he would raise the minimum age to 18...
...however possibly because of Jim's lock and subsequent hiding of the thread I note that he has not revised the minimum age on his still incomplete "application."
