Urrgh... oh, and a little bit of miscellany.

The server at work was acting up, so I wasn't able to make my final post for today while there. Now, here at home, I find that if I try and access one of the links I established for my music list, that the MSN music sample won't play here at home on my G5 (Mac) tower. This is what I, here at home, call... STUPID.

Yahoo works.

iTunes works.

 

Urrgh.

 

Anyway, I wanted to point people to the following video, which I thought was pretty durn cool. It shows off several very nice add-ons for Flight Simulator; TrackIR 3, FlyTampa KSFO , and Megascenery San Francisco. There's an freeware add-on aircraft as well (see the Avsim thread here) . Anyway, Ithought the video shows off really well both what the sim is capable of, the joys of flight, and the reason why thre are things you can do in a sim that you ought not to do in real life.

Anyway, the video's here. Take a look. Look for the moving B.A.R.T...

oh, and can I just say that the video plays here at home on my mac? with sound?

I can't comment on Macs ... I don't own one.

That video is awesome! That hangar sequence reminds me of the scene in 007's 'Octopussy' where James Bond flies that BD5-J thru that hangar, and escapes thru the other side, leaving a rocket to explode inside. Excellent use of TrackIR 3-D too!
