I can’t believe it’s Friday again already. Ordinarily, I’d try to think up something witty to say – maybe find some cool links for you ’sim dudes and dudettes. It’s been such a busy week of trying to finish up Siletz Bay that I think I’m gonna just post a few shots and let [...]

Sorry to everyone who was enjoying my newly-revived Fanboy Friday posts. I’ve been too quiet the last few weeks. For what it’s worth, I have my reasons – some personal, some professional. The best news is the professional part: my next airport is drawing nigh! Without further ado, say hello to S45 – Siletz [...]

Sorry for missing the last couple of Fridays, but things have been in a bit of turmoil around my house lately and it’s drained off all my attention dealing with non-sim stuff. In the midst of everything else that’s going on, I thought it’d be sporting to pop in here and catch you up [...]

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but this week has been really screwy in the US. I mean, who puts a major holiday smack in the middle of the week? We all trudged off to work on Monday, slogged through Tuesday, then got a day off and gorged ourselves on barbecue, [...]

Fanboy Friday: Fabulous Freebies!

I talk about a lot of payware add-ons on this blog. Mostly that’s because of the amazing variety of top-notch work available from so many talented devs. Even though they’re great, you could drain your bank account pretty quick buying all of these goodies, so every now and then I think it’s nice to [...]

What a way to start a Friday! I was walking my dogs this cloudy morning when I heard the unmistakable drone of old radial engines. Instinctively, I scanned the sky for the culprit, hoping to catch a glimpse of what I figured was probably a DC-3. A shadowy form emerged from a bank of [...]

Ground Poly Tutorial

Today’s Fanboy Friday is aimed directly at budding FS scenery developers. A couple of years ago, I did a tutorial for simpilotnet that detailed how I went about doing airport ground polygons at the time. Although it was a popular page, the site hosting it seems to have gone belly-up. After scouring my hard [...]

Fanboy Friday – Talking to Myself?

I get it. I haven’t posted in a long time, so you decided to go elsewhere for your FS blogging joy. Thing is, it takes a lot of effort to put together a longer post like last week’s, and I’m a little busy at the moment, so this week you get an in-progress shot. [...]

Fanboy Friday Lives!

Hey, it’s been a while! How’re things?
Life sprung up and swallowed a whole bunch of my time these past few months, but there’s just too much happening in the FS world right now not to blog about it. And what day better than good old Friday, the gateway to the weekend. In no particular [...]
