During the last weeks I did not write much on this blog. This was partly because of some travelling and also because of a new "project" I have been busy with. This project is not so compatible with FSX, or any other version of Flight Simulator...

Public transport

First, sorry for this rant, but at the moment I am just to annoyed by it. Since a few moments the public transport company of Amsterdam already decided to make it more difficult for me to get to work. They are renovating some stations, including the one...

Today I handed in the key of my old house, so the moving "project" is now really finished. The last days I already had some more time to do some programming on my FS tools again, so as a result of that I have also been able to release a new...
