I’ve just uploaded the 1.5 update for Stark’s Twin Oaks. This is an all-inclusive patch that is supposed to work regardless of which version of 7S3 you’re running (RTM, 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3). This update adds a number of new features and fixes some old issues + mesh resolution compatibility.

Banging my Head Against the Desk

in FSX, Miscellaneous Ramblings

Even though I love flying small GA in and out of grubby little airports in FSX, every now and then I feel the need to shake things up. Maybe it starts with a review, a few tasty screenshots, or some raves from fanboys about this or that new tubeliner. I get to thinking hey, [...]

First Bear Gulch Preview Pics

In the rush to get the pics of Cushman Meadows posted last week, we mistakenly gave a few ’simmers the impression that Bear Gulch wasn’t part of the package. Fear not! I pushed the first full beta out to our testing team today, and the Gulch is definitely in there. It’s not finished yet, [...]

I still have a pulse!

One of the top ten signs you’ve been away from blogging too long: when your friends start emailing and asking if you’re okay. Don’t worry, Bob, I am. In fact, I’m great!
