Haven't we already heard this one before?
So last weekend I had my rear in gear and ripped a couple of CD's (music all legally purchased) to listen to while working. This weekend? Still listening to the same stuff.
With the hi fi system cranked up then, it's off we go...
With actual, unpaid, proof that someone outside of Microsoft (and a few loyal readers) reads this blog, comes Kilstorm McBride and a question posted at Avsim. Mind you, I have no intention of giving an answer here, as I have no idea why the feature in question is no longer in the product. I shot a mail over to Hal who probably does know, and maybe he'll throw a post up in a few days.
Oh, and Kilstorm? We do read our mail at tell_fs@microsoft.com. Even the really long feature request ones sent last year... ;)
Congrats to frequent blog commenter Owen who started his own blog Polypoke...
Over at Flightsim.com a fellow named helldiver (I'm sure that's not his real name...) asks in his post terrain resolution in FS2004 vs FS2002: "has the terrain resolution been increased from FS202 into 2004?"
If Mr. Diver is asking if the terrain texture resolution is increased between the two products, the answer is no. Both products have the same terrain texture resolution size of ~4.8 meters per pixel.
Poster Orlaam on the boards at Simflight.com offers up some interesting aviation and sim related links. The screenshot competition for October is heating up at Simflight. My current favorite entries are from Yode and Roughlandings, both get the theme for October. I wonder if Flightsim.com Orlaam is the same as the Avsim Orlaam?
Meanwhile, Simviation's screenshot contest has floatplanes as the theme. Current faves are: Rollerball, Congo, and Spitroast. Check 'em out.
And lastly, while I'm mining other people's sites for content, If you're a member of the Flightsim user community interested in Flightsim, I encourage you to read these following posts:
