• 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.

I will be releasing a new stable version of ModelConverterX and scenProc in the next few weeks.The reason behind these new releases is twofold.

On one hand over the last months there have been many improvements to the tools, mainly in the area of performance. So it is worthwhile to have those improvements in the stable release as well.

On the other hand I am also working on some changes to the internal architecture of the tools at this moment. This changes will allow me to develop the code better in the future, as it makes the code more testable. So in the end that should result in better tools, but because it is a relatively big change on the short term it also increases the risk of new issues. So before I make that available in the development release, I want to have a good stable release available for users to fall back onto if needed.

In the next one or two weeks I will closely monitor if the current development release has urgent issues that need to be fixed. If I see none, I will promote it to the new stable release after that period. So the current development release can be seen as a kind of release candidate version of the new stable release.

Hi all,

In the last week a few serious bugs have been reported, so I am going to try to fix these first. For the rest I am ready to release a new stable release. So hopefully in one or two weeks I can get it out.

Hi all,

I have finished all the bug fixes that I still wanted to include in the stable release. So in a few days I will make a new stable release available (and also make the new development release available with some changes I have been working on already).
