• 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.

FSX-Steam success

I love acronyms, like VAS. A quick search suggested Variable Angle Scatterometer, Vermont Archaeological Society, Vasenmmistoliitto (a Finnish political grouping) and a Turkish airport among many others.

None of which I can find on my PC. Am I worried? No!

That was a Very Astute Summary. :duck:

I would also point out that without us VFX whores buying up all of the latest eye-candy, some people here would have no livelihoods, and we would all still be happily enjoying our TRS-80 era graphics.

What a great world that would be...

Virtual Address Space is - contrary to rumours - not the place where the postal service sends your lost mail, but instead the limiting factor that has been punishing VFX whores and inefficient model designers by the hundreds. Simply because Microsoft, being the ultra-evil entity it is, refuses to allocate more than 4 GB of space for FSX and all its currently used files in the system's RAM and page file.

A 64 bit flight simulator effectively does away with that limit and thus the average model developer will have to contend with a horde of visual whoring idiots asking for pilot skin textures so detailed that you will be able to count pores and models with polycounts in the billons and shadow baked textures of the content of the trashbin in the galley while still performing with 60 FPS at JFK during the morning rush with thousands of autogen people, each as detailed as your pilot figure, oil stains on the tarmac calculated in real time. Not to mention the ultrarealistic, detailed other stuff a new flight simulator will have to bring to the table.
How's that for a dystopia?

I always though it was a Virtual Announcement System, or a "forum" if you will ;)
 
Perhaps some prefer to, or must, fly the sim while undressed. Eccentrics abound in flight sim circles.

You sound like you might be one of those people who puts on a captains hat and epaulets to sit in a cockpit in front of his computer...
 
At least my shirt is spotless and perfectly pressed. No ketchup stains in this 'pit!

Tell your wife, "Remember, it's 'miss' and 'sir' while I'm at the computer. Now go get your captain a nice hot cup of coffee."
 
That would be impolitic: where do you suppose this immaculate shirt comes from?
 
It is simply procedural and part of the immersive experience. If the woman remains within earshot it's tacit proof she understands this already.
 
You do like to live dangerously. My rather spirited wife would introduce you to a new facet of 'immersion' were you to meet: immersion in coffee.
 
Two wives? Wouldn't that get you into trouble outside of Utah or some middle eastern countries?
 
It could be part of the simulation, or someone could dress up in a cop suit and play along...the lines get kind of blurry if you think about it too hard and I'd only meant two hot coffees, but anyway. Sounded exciting, so does two wives...
 
Twice the nagging, twice the monetary requirements, twice the age-related, increasing unattractiveness.

I mean, there are people out there who like being whipped and degraded in any way possible, but that's just sick.
