FsDeveloper work in progress

As Nick already hinted at in his recent blog post, we have finally started to implement the change to the FsDeveloper website that I already talked about before. Today I have played with the settings to integrate the wiki and the forums a lot better and I can say that I got it working quite […]

ObPlacer XML update

I have just released a small update for ObPlacer XML. This new version (0.84) does not have that many changes, but some recent discussions in the community still encouraged me to release it now. This first change is that it includes a new feature, you can now also place a fuel trigger object. For this […]

Airport Facilitator X

Flight1 has released a new scenery design tool, Airport Facilitator X. I have not (yet) tried this new tool, but looking at the info and pictures they provide it seems to extend AFCAD. Of course it is always good to build on such a nice tool. The tools works with both Fs2004 and FsX, and […]

Just got home this morning from my trip to Texas, so at the moment I have a slight jetlag. And to make things even better, my suitcase did not appear on the baggage carousel when the flight arrived. Luckily I already got a call from KLM that they found it though, so it should be […]
