gPoly from Arno...... looks interesting

Hey all, It has been a while since I posted anything about Flight Simulator. Various reasons for that including my complete lack of interest in the product since Microsoft sacked (almost) everyone, and the fact my time has been massively limited by various business projects. Of course, there are loads...

MVP Summit 2009

OK OK... I'll bite....

I keep getting emails from people asking what I think about the ACES studio closure… so I am going to give in and write this post to those that want my thoughts and ramblings. Initially, I was devastated. I kept thinking about those on the team I now consider friends and how they were going to...

Irish Flight Sim Design - the end

Well… it was fun while it lasted. For the last two years my life has been hectic! Moving home, new company offices, general life stuff. During that time, one thing has become clear. Unless I figure out a way to clone myself, something has to give. Unfortunately, the thing that had to give was...

thanks to Austin Meyer, whom has released X-Plane on the iPhone. Very cool idea, though I wonder how long it will take for the novelty to wear off! From Austin: Hello everyone! X-Plane is now here for the iPhone! X-Plane for iPhone is a fun little 'slice' of X-Plane that is just the right size...

Flight Simulator as therapy?

Many flight simmers in the world use their time with the sim to wind down from a long day or to escape from the realities of day-to-day life. Have you ever considered how this could be done in a hospital setting to help patients "get away" from...

Flight Simulator X RTM support lifecycle over

FYI. As of July 8 th 2008, Flight Simulator X RTM is no longer supported by Microsoft Product Support Services. I guess that means that if you have to call PSS for support on the simulator, you should install SP2 (or purchase Acceleration )! Not quite true... see here Tags: FSX , Flight+Simulator
