Now you can fly on your iPhone too.....

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 to fit on the cool little platform that is the iPhone. We actually managed to get about 95% of the flight-model accuracy, many of the weather, sky conditions, and times of day, the default flight area, and 4 cool planes into this little sim, so you can fly around in the virtual skies when actually stuck back in seat 23-D, wishing you were flying instead!

X-Plane for iPhone is only $9.99, so grab it today!

I am austin@X-Plane.com... email me if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Austin

Phil Taylor. Thanks.

As you have probably already heard via Arno’s or even his own blog, Phil Taylor is leaving ACES for Intel.

Good luck Phil!   I hope that whomever steps into your shoes at ACES is as community driven as you were!

Did you know that Intel makes you smarter?

 

ExchangeDefender Outlook Add-in released

Remember this post?    Where I got a friend to develop a macro for outlook that would report spam to ExchangeDefender easily.

Well, no more is it needed!    The Guys at OwnWebNow have released a fully featured Outlook Add-in for ExchangeDefender that allows users to manage their Quarantine, Trusted Senders as well as report spam that gets past the grid.

Great news!

The only cool thing is that OwnWebNow have allowed the partners to self brand the add-in, so if you are one of my customers, or fancy just having my company logo on the add-in alongside that of ExchangeDefender, you can download it from the NTES site instead!

Here are some screenshots from the application:

Life outside Apple Adverts

Well, like most… I enjoy the Apple adverts, even if they do take the piss out of Microsoft.

Via Steve (thanks), here are the three adverts from Microsoft, and I have to say….   I like them : )

 

fdeveloper.com will be back soon

Hi All,

Have not had time for a blogpost lately, but I keep getting IM’d about this.

We know that FSDeveloper.com is down at the moment and we are working with the host to get it back up and running.

Thanks

Nick
