added another former ACES team member to the alumni roll...

Niniane's had a blog around for a while now, I just keep forgetting to add it to the roll. I was reminded of Niniane's blog by former ACES team member Steve Lacey (wow! now there's a blast from the past!) who sent along this link: http://www.valleywag.com/tech/google/niniane-the-google-blogger-156128.ph

First rule of Fight Club? You do not talk about Fight Club

As we move into the six month of ACES team members writing blogs and interacting on Flight Simulator user community boards, I thought it appropriate to point people to this gem from Guy Kawasaki (former Apple evangelist): http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/02/the_art_of_crea.html

Are we there yet?

We released some new screens of FSX lately, and as I read over the reactions, one of the things I see are folk asking for shots of this and that. I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that we're not done yet! :) We try not to show stuff off in

A brand new Flight Simulator

Perusing Roy's blog , I came across a brand new free flight simulator: New Sim My best distance record was 78 feet. I have no idea how I got that, as the best I was able to do after that (consistently anyway) was 68-69 feet.
