• 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.

Is it possible to change the readout of the date for posts on my view of the forum (when I'm logged on), so I can see dates as MM/DD/YY, instead of DD/MM/YY?

Thanks,

I would have to check if that can be set per user. I assume you already checked your profile settings?

We put the default as it is now, because all administrators are European and the other notation confuses us. But I can understand the reverse is true for others :)
 
Perhaps we can use yyyy-mm-dd? It is, after all, the ISO 8601 standard. :p

Relevant xkcd:

Unfortunately my preferred choice of the Hijira calendar in Arabic is missing :)
 
It seems that time zone can be set by user but I don't see any personal preference to change format.
 
Oddly enough, I actually use the format YYMMDD as my version numbers. This way I can easily tell the precise date on which I compiled a project's installer(s).

For example: MilViz_B55_P3Dv2_v3.141230 tells me that this is the 3rd major revision, and the minor revision compiled on 2014-12-30.

:twocents:
 
I use YYMMDD a lot as well - can't get that muddled up
 
Unless you (or a colleague) does a DDMMYY by mistake...

I went and tried to restore some files from a backup once. "Oh, OK, these are the recent ones... these seems to be the most recent, and it's from... tomorrow?!?"

Thank you Mr. Bill Leaming!:D

That is a very good idea. I am going to start using that for my naming.

Thank you!:)
