SceneryDesign.org You might have read this on other blogs already. For example Francois and Lefteris wrote about this already, but I feel it is too important to not repeat it here as well. There is a “new” flight simulator that is being marketed currently. The ads promise that it is the best out there and even […]
FSDeveloper connectivity – part 4
This Sunday, November 28th, we plan to move the FSDeveloper website to another server. This move is necessary to fix the connectivity problems we had a couple of weeks ago. We have already tested that the site runs fine on the new server. So what we will do Sunday is close the site on the […]

This will be a wizard where you just select your object (for example a SketchUp made COLLADA file), tell which scenery folder to use and enter which location the object should get. After that the wizard will […]
The past FSWeekend
This weekend it was the yearly FSWeekend again the Aviodrome aviation museum in Lelystad. I was there at both the FSDeveloper and NL2000 stand. I think it was a good event again, with a lot of people visiting, especially on the Saturday. It was always nice to talk with the users of the NL2000 scenery […]
Fixed camera views
I have added another small feature to ModelConverterX tonight. This is something I had in mind for some time already. You can now select a number of viewing directions for the preview. This allows you to fix the view to the front or left for example. In some case that makes it easier to monitor […]

You can select at which keyframe you want to fix the geometry and then that becomes the static state of the object. The […]
