    Project C57D Cruiser

    Take your rudder value and add 1, then divide by 2. That will give you a 0-1 range. :)

    Curious about the way Don Pettit is holding the Nikon D3

    Maybe he is just using the camera as a telescope to get a better view?

    HyperDart is technically still under development, but RL has been kicking my butt lately :) Once the load at work calms down I'll be back working on the Dart and the FLD-5

    Project FDL-5MA

    I may just do that :) I scavenged a bit of time the other night and decided to play around with this project a bit. After sitting down and looking at code I decided I wasn't in the mood for that ;) So, I decided to do a quick and dirty multistage build of the titan. It came out pretty nice...

    Gaming O-F Dedicated FSX Server

    Just joined. I'll be heading from KMRB (Martinsburg, WV, USA) in a DC-3. I'll be leaving sometime this afternoon and will leave fsx running as much as possible.

    Project FDL-5MA

    I spent a little time working on my Titan III. I've got a full stack now :) Textures are still a wip, but the basics are there. I've been digging through the Atlantis source a bit exploring how it works, and it seems doable with my abilities, I just have to give it a try :) I'd like the whole...

    Gaming Payware to Freeware Simming

    I'm running Russian heavies (Love my KV with 107 :) ) and I've almost unlocked the IS. I also have a su-85 that is a few games away from unlocking the 107 (this is where I spent CBT), i need one more radio to elite my Leopard, and I'm also working an easy 8. As you can see I'm all over the...

    Gaming Payware to Freeware Simming

    I play RoF, WoT, and Arma2. I've bought most of the add on planes of RoF and some of the addons for Arma2. If I was more into Arma, I wouldn't think twice about getting more of them. World of Tanks is my big timesink now :) And, yes, I support them through purchases Overall i think this is a...

    Discussion The next 100 years..

    2020-ish - China has built its small space station, everyone congratulates them and moves on. China continues with manned launches to the station over the next few years. A few years later, China launches a rocket with a large "orbit maintenance booster" as its payload and docks with their...

    Project FDL-5MA

    That seems to be the general consensus. I'm not an aerospace engineer by any means, I thought the craft looked cool and I found a ton of documentation on the wind tunnel studies: http://contrails.iit.edu/resources/BiblioGraphySearch3.asp?lineNumber=42 It appears to me that the idea is to fly...

    Project FDL-5MA

    Its has been a while since I had time to work on the FDL-5, stupid world of tanks ;) anyway, I coded the gear animations, and reworked the nose gear doors on the 3D model since I never liked the big door that followed the nose strut. It now opens sideways. I also added hinge detail to the...

    Poll What flight sim do you prefer and why?

    Of the ones listed I use FSX the most. mainly because of all the add-ons I have, extra planes, enhanced scenery, etc. I've really been enjoying soaring in it lately with the addition of cumilusX and aerotow, both available through SOAR. I love a nice relaxing flight in my aerosoft Catalina...
