Of course every designer has read the excellent blog posts by Adrian Woods on how to optimize your performance by now. If not I would say do so now: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 So after having read that you know that polygons do not matter so much, it is the amount […]
Jason leaves ACES
You might already have read this on his blog, but Jason Waskey is leaving the ACES team (and MS as well). This happens more often of course, so why do I blog about it this time? That is because Jason was the first ACES team member that I ever had contact with. A few years […]
(Finally) another ModelConverterX update
It has been much too long ago that I wrote about the ModelConverterX tool. Or actually it was also much too long ago that I programmed on the tool. But since last week I have been making some progress again. That is partly because I have a little more time now that all the travelling […]
FSX SP2 SDK update available
The SDK update for FSX SP2 is now also available. So if you are a developers make sure to install this one as well and you are ready to go with SP2!
More on SP2
After making my last post, I realized some information was still missing.

Over the last few weeks the FSDeveloper Wiki had become more and more alive. I am very happy to see that more people have started to add and edit the content of the Wiki. So be sure to check the Wiki now and then, as a lot of useful development related information is being collected […]
Microsoft ESP
I know this is old new, and I guess you must have read about this multiple times already by now. But as I think it is still very interesting I am writing this blog post about ESP. ESP is a new simulation platform that Microsoft has recently announced and it is based on the same […]
Back home from Florida
This weekend I arrived again at home after my trip to the I/ITSEC in Orlando for work. I have got rid of most of the jetlag by now, although I guess it will take me a few days to get back on speed with the forums and emails again. The fact that we celebrate Sinterklaas […]
Perfect timing
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 […]
