SceneryDesign.org Remember that ugly picture I posted a few days ago of the API macro I had read into ModelConverterX? Today I did some work to let it also read in the colors and textures used and after that I must say that it already looks a lot more like the museum building it is supposed […]
The curved earth
Ever since FsX has been released, there have been a lot of discussion about the display problems with the old style ground polygons that are used a lot in addon sceneries.

SP1 and SDK SP1A?
The last days I have seen a few posts on forums about people having difficulty running FsX after installing SP1 or SP1A for the SDK. It seems that it is not clear to everybody that you need to install both service packs, as FsX SP1 does not work with the old SDK DLL files and […]

Strange maps
A few days ago I came across this very cool blog that has a collection of all sorts of interesting maps. For example I found a blog post their about some Dutch annexation plans after the second World War. But there are is also a nice post about the presidential elections in France from last […]
While I was away…
While I was away to Cologne this week to attend a exhibition for my work, it seems quite a few interesting things happened in the FS world. Here is a quick summary of all the things I seem to have missed: The software of the community server this blog is on has been updated, all […]
Did you say manual?
I know some time has passed since I said that I would make a manual for Library Creator XML 2.0. But the good news is that I actually started doing so today. So once that is ready, you can expect a non beta release of this new version, as it seems quite stable at the […]
