  • FSDeveloper video tutorials

    This week I came across the Procaster application to stream you desktop to the internet and yesterday I used it to do a interactive video tutorial about GMax on the FSDeveloper channel at Livestream . There was a good audience of about a dozen people, especially when you keep in mind I only announced...

  • Some Wiki updates

    I have added some additional information to the FSDeveloper Wiki . Update of the information on the FSX MDL format . This is mainly what I figured out while adding support for animations to ModelConverterX. Added an article to explain the different DXT compressions that can be used for textures. I would...

  • Normal map tutorial

    It is quite a while ago already that I wrote on this blog about how to use normal maps on your FSX models. Today I finally found the time to put that information into a tutorial on the Wiki. I hope it makes the process of creating a normal map more clear. Or else feel free to enhance the tutorial even...

  • Gate IK animation video tutorial

    Do you remember that Nick has been talking for a long time already about a new video tutorial for FSX? One that shows how to make those nice new skin and bone IK animations for your gates? Adrian Woods made a really nice tutorial about that and Nick has got it edited now. From now it is online at the...

  • Are they listening?

    Complaining about the SDKs has been a favourite thing to do among developers for years. With previous versions of FS we always had to wait for ages to get them and of course it never told us what we wanted to know for our project (how could MS forget to include what I needed to know). I am sure you can...

  • FsDeveloper

    The last week Nick and I have been quite busy in getting our idea for a bigger community going. For those of you who missed the previous posts where we talked about this, let me start with a short explanation of the idea. The plan is to create a community for FS addon developers, it should be a place...

  • Do forums grow?

    Lately Nick has been trying to hijack the SceneryDesign.org forums and today I finally gave in to him. So you can expect some changes to the forum in the near future. And of course Nick has no evil intentions with the forums, so you don't have to be afraid of it. Now more seriously, as you probably...

  • Another LiveMeeting

    After the success of the first SceneryDesign.org LiveMeeting, we have now scheduled a second one. Where the first LiveMeeting was a short of online-video-tutorial-demonstration of the MDL Tweaker II tool, this second meeting will go a little more deeply into the techniques of scenery design. The subject...

  • LiveMeeting - part 3

    Tonight was the night. We had our first LiveMeeting about scenery design for FS. As a subject for this first meeting we had chosen the MDL Tweaker II tool. Mainly because it is a new and interested tool that we wanted to show more about. And also because it was an easy enough subject for a first meeting...

  • LiveMeeting - part 2

    About a week of two ago, Nick and I played a little bit with Microsoft Office LiveMeeting. Back then we saw a potential to use this technique for some online, interactive tutorials as well. So tonight we did another test and this time Thorsten joined in as well to see how well everything worked from...

  • Live Meeting

    While chatting with Nick today, we were looking for an easy way to show each other what we were doing on screen. For example to describe a bug or explain how we would like a feature to be. In the end Nick came up with a Microsoft Office Live Meeting test session and I must say that it worked great. It...
