Back from Greece
We are back from our trip to Greece. We arrived in Athens and stayed there for a day and a half. That was just enough time to visit the Acropolis and do some site seeing in the old part of town. We also enjoyed a dinner together with Lefteris and his wife one evening. Great fun to […]
FSDeveloper connectivity – part 2
While I was on vacation in Greece the problems with the connectivity of the FSDeveloper site happened again. Lefteris did some good debugging on it and now we know what the reason of the problems is.

The first one I fixed is that levels of detail where not exported correctly to the FS2004 MDL format. This should be working again now. The second one is reading the levels of detail […]
