  • Heading for Brussels

    Tomorrow I am going to Brussels for my work, as we are attending the ITEC there. This means that during the next days I won't be behind my computer. Over the weekend I have been working a bit on the FS2004 MDL reader for ModelConverterX, but I am afraid it is still a bit buggy. I had hoped to iron...

  • International Flight Simulation Consortium

    You might have read about the International Flight Simulation Consortium on the internet already, for example at Avsim or Francois Dumas' blog . I don't so much to add to what has been said there already, except that I was also present at the meeting and that FSDeveloper is thereby involved in...

  • Back home from Canada again

    This morning I came home from my bussiness trip to Canada, so currently I still have a small jetlag. But that is not the reason of this blog post, I have made available all the changes I made to ModelConverterX in a new development build now. This new build includes the features I blog about before....

  • FSX material settings

    Over the last days I have been working on extending the material settings supported by ModelConverterX. I have now come to the point that all of the specific settings that you can make with a FlightSimX material can be edited with ModelConverterX as welll. If you download the latest development build...

  • Time for an update

    It has been a while since I wrote on this blog, other things kept me a bit too busy lately. So it is time for an update! I am still working on the next release of ModelConverterX. I had hoped to have the version 1.0 release ready by now, but the last few bits seem to take slightly longer than planned...

  • DevDays video

    Last May I gave a presentation about ESP and FSX at the DevDays in Amsterdam. Until now I never found out what they did with the video recording of that session, but today I found it back on the MSDN website . It is in Dutch, so unfortunately not everybody will be able to understand what I am saying...

  • Back from vacation, but...

    I am back from vacation now for almost a week, but today I finally had the time to get up to date with all the posts on the FSDeveloper forum. This was partly because I had to go to Paris on bussiness trip two days this week and also because there were just to many things to catch up with. For example...

  • Levels of detail

    You might already have noticed that last weekend I released a new update for ModelConverterX . It contains just some small, but important bug fixes for the version 0.50 release. So with those annoying bugs gone, I have started to concentrate on the next version again. The first feature I am working on...

  • User interface and manuals

    It's already some days ago that I wrote that the next version of ModelConverterX is almost ready. One reason for the delay is that I got a cold this week and that reduced the amount of time I would like to spend behind the screen a bit. But another reason is that I, and I guess more developers, tend...

  • ModelConverterX update avaible

    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 version of ModelConverterX. On the forum you can read...

  • ESP at DevDays

    Tomorrow and on Friday I will be giving a presentation at the Dutch Microsoft DevDays titled "Flight Simulator Secrets Exposed: The Microsoft ESP Visual Simulation Platform". I must admit the titles comes from a presentation by Todd Landstad of the ACES team that I luckily could make use of...

  • DevDays

    For those of you in the Netherlands this might be interesting. This year I will be attending the MS DevDays in Amsterdam. I am going to give two presentations there, one about ESP and the other one about FS. At the moment the exact scope is still under discussion, once I know more I will post a bit more...

  • Start of spring

    Today was supposed to be the start of spring, but looking at the weather outside (snow, rain, cold) it seems not really to be the case yet. There is even some chance that we get a white Easter this year, maybe that can compensate for the lack of white Christmases lately. But this might also have a positive...

  • Real-time rendering

    Recently I bought an interesting book, Real-time rendering . I have not completely finished reading this book, but it contains a lot of useful information. For example I have found there solutions for some problems I had while working on my ModelConverterX tool. But the explanation of how the rendering...

  • Merry Christmas!

    Christmas is almost there, so I would like to take this opertunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Of course I will spend the Christmas days with my family, but for the rest this time of year is a good opportunity to catch up with some of the things I want to do for a long time already. So those two...

  • Little update from abroad

    As you can see I do have internet access while on travel for my work at the moment. Yesterday we arrived on our destination and today we had a sort of free day to rest from the travelling and enjoy the surrounding landscape a bit. So together with my collegue we drove around in the car a bit, we have...

  • See you in two weeks

    My vacation is now really getting near. Tomorrow morning I will have to leave very early to get to Schiphol and fly to Malaga, Spain. I am really looking forward to get cycling again in an area that is not so extremely flat as the Dutch polder landscape I live in. I have also been able to put an updated...

  • Vacation is getting nearer

    It is Thursday morning now and I don't have to work, that's a nice feeling. Or maybe I should say I am not sitting in the office, as there is some hard work ahead. I'll have to try to pack all my stuff for my vacation that starts this Monday. I am going to Andalusia (Spain) this year and...

  • ModelConverterX progress report

    After spending most of my spare time on the upcoming FsDeveloper update in the last two weeks, I was able to get some work done on the ModelConverterX tool again this evening. In my last update on this tool, I mentioned that the code to read the API macros needed some more work and that is what I worked...

  • NL2000 version 3

    As you might have read on the internet already, the new version of the NL2000 scenery has been released. This latest release is for Fs2004 and again covers the entire country, with all its airports. The main difference is that this time the entire country has been filled with 1 meter per pixel photo...
