• 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 world's tiniest request

This is going to sound nit-picky, but do you think someone could add a favicon.ico file to the site's root? That way there'd be a little FSDevelopers logo next to the bookmark listing in IE and Firefox browsers, and for me that helps. I can make one if you want, but I thought somebody might be working on it already.

See? Told you it was tiny. 16x16 to be exact. :)

[EDIT]: I decided to put my money where my big mouth was. If you want to use the favicon.ico file I've created, download it from http://www.antelopesimworks.com/files/fsdeveloper/favicon.ico -- obviously this will only work if you have root access to this site, so it won't do casual users any good. Use it if you like, Nick or Arno.

thx,

Bill, I like that. Consider it done... urrrm... when Arno uploads it. I don't have the FTP info.
 
Should be uploaded now, although I don't see the image yet in my own browser. Let me know if someone does see it.
 
Of the forum yes, there was already a favicon there and I replaced it.
 
Seems to be working now (put it in the fsdeveloper root). But I had to clear my cache before it showed.
 
Not working for me in IE7.

Apparently this is a bug... if the icon has a 32 x 32 and a 16 x 16 version of the image in it?

Or:

I had some trouble making IE7 show a Favicon image so I decided to help those of you that are doing the same thing. Please keep in mind that only IE5+ supports the favicon image. Here are the steps:

1) Create a .gif image that you would like to use as a Favicon.

2) Use a suitable conversion program that will make this image a Favicon image with a .ico file extension. Here is the one that I used:

http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/
3) Once you have created the image and converted it, you are now ready to upload the image to the root directory of your web site.

4) This should now be enough to make the Favicon show up in Firefox, but it may not show up in IE5+. So, let's continue.

5) Place the favicon.ico image in to your "image" directory. (eg: www.yoursite.com/images/favicon.ico)

6) Place the Favicon image on your Index.htm(l) page ensuring that the complete path is www.yoursite.com/images/favicon.ico

7) Now, once you have uploaded all of the above files, it is time to clear out your cache. here's how:

A. Open IE 5+
B. Go to Tools>> Internet Options
C. Delete your Temporary Internet Files (include offline content)
D. Delete your History as well.

8) It may be necessary to place a "link" (<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico"/>) tag within your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags.

9) Close IE5+, then reopen IE5. Now, type in the URL of the web site that you have your Favicon uploaded. It may be necessary to press F5 on your keyboard to reload the page in order to force IE to show the Favicon.

If you have followed the above instructions to the letter, you will now have a Favicon showing on your browser. If you are still having trouble, please use the support form to get help.
