• 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.

The Owls Nest Fully Renovated

Over the past several weeks, I have completely renovated The Owl’s Nest.

A brand‑new airport database with 80,000 records now forms the foundation of the site. It powers the Airport Search, the Airports Database, and the Airport Distance Calculator. The distance calculator now optionally includes two intermediate stops in its calculations.

The Flight Traffic Radar has been switched from Flightradar24 to ADS‑B.

All pages that rely on tabular data—such as the Military Aircraft Database, the Military AI Aircraft Database, the Military FSX & P3D AI Model Database, and the MAIW Package Database—now use a modern and unified table design.

I am particularly pleased with the picture preview on hover over the Wikipedia link in the Military Aircraft Database.

The Download Center has been integrated into the site’s design and no longer opens externally.

In the Photo Gallery, I showcase photos I’ve taken at various airshows.

All other pages have received smaller updates. Visually, the entire site has been modernized while preserving its original style.

I hope you enjoy the improvements and notice the overall increase in quality. Looking forward to your visit!
