SceneryDesign.org As you might have read in my previous post, I am packing to travel for my work. And just at this moment it seems that the FSDeveloper site is not accessible. I have already contacted support of the host, but as the server is in the US they are still asleep I guess. So hopefully […]
Almost travel tired
Last week I arrived home from my trip to the DevCon and FanCon, so by now I have got rid of the jetlag and have catched up with all things at home again. But today I will leave again for a trip, for work this time. We are going to the I/ITSEC. Although I will […]
Day 13: Travelling home
So today I arrived home safely, the only minor problem I guess is the slight jetlag I have now. It seems I am not that good anymore in sleeping in aircraft seats. Or maybe the fact that I left Seattle around 13:00 also has something to do with it, as at that time of day […]
Day 12: Olympic National Park
The DevCon and FanCon are now over for a few days already and since then I have been exploring the area around Seattle a bit more. On Monday I went to see Seattle Downtown and although it was a bit windy and wet, it was nice to walk through the city and feel the atmosphere […]
Day 9: AvSim FanCon day 2
Today it was much more quiet on the FanCon, it seemed quite some people had already left. But this also had some advantages, for example that we could play a multiplayer Reno airrace mission with a group of developers. Although we could not do the mission in slew mode, it actually went quite well and […]
Day 8: AvSim FanCon day 1
The 2nd and 3d day of the DevCon kept me quite busy, so I did not write a new blog posts about them. But I can tell you that those two days were great as well. Learned a lot and spoken to a lot of interesting people. Yesterday was the 1st day of the Avsim […]
Day 5: DevCon 1st day
So today was the first day of the DevCon, my main purpose of this travelling. On this blog I can not talk about all the actual stuff being discussed there, as we are under NDA for that. But I certainly did meet a lot of interesting people. I am sure I will forget to mention […]
Day 4: Museum of Flight
Today I went to the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle. I have seen quite some aviation musea by now (for example Duxford in the UK, Aviodrome in the Netherlands), but this one also has a very good collection. And also the volunteers working there are very friendly and have great stories to […]
Day 3: Boeing Factory
Today I visited the Future of Flight Center and took the Boeing Tour. The center itself has a nice display that explains the history of the Boeing civil aircraft and also shows you something about the materials used, the engines, etc. This all is mixed up with a lot of videos and other interactive displays, […]
Day 2: North Cascades National Park
So the daylight saving time ended today in the US. That was a little bit of a surprise to me, as it already ended last week in Europe. This explains why there was only 8 hours time difference with the Netherlands when I arrived yesterday. At least this meant the day was a bit longer […]
