Don´t expect quality! :-)Hanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04109963919927136900noreply@blogger.comBlogger191100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12354891.post-66604191378271086722007-02-21T11:11:00.000+01:002007-02-21T11:17:17.505+01:00

Hiya! Long time and lots of water under the bridge since last. Since my own, real-life, flying occupies most of my time, scenerybuilding nowadays are seldom. But I am highly active anyway. Building an aircraft for FS2004/FSX has proven to be quite a challenge, but it´s darn fun! And now, when I realize that it actually someday might be finished, the satisfaction is enourmous.More to come! :-)

Yes, indeed! And the winner this time, is ESSX. Yes folks, I´m almost finished, have just made some small adjustments, and then the scenery made by me & compadres will be released. Really, it´s just the ReadMe (which noone ever does, anyway) left.Then I will embark the greatest adventure since I took my drivers license. Those plans are high-flying, believe me! More when it cools outside.

Yes, if you´ve missed it, do not fear, SketchUp is now free! Thanks to Google buying another of my favourite software (+Picasa, Writely, and yes, Blogger) this 450€ software is now available for free. Slimmed, yes, but not much. Most noteworthy is that the 3DS Export is missing, but it might be that we´ll find a solution to that.Sketchup is not a substitute for Gmax, but it is the most easy way

I hate Word. Yes, harsh words but I do believe that I do. Why? Because it tries to think instead of you. Thankyouverymuch but I think I can manage on my own... That´s why this is written in Writely ! :-)

Well, consider yourself lucky! I´m checking out Picasa (another googled thing) so I needed a pic to publish. And, a once private comparison now lies here for you to watch. D-mn, I´m good! ;-)

Furios? No, not me. But I´ve been furiosly active in Gmax since last thursday, a friend of mine showed me a couple of tricks that I did not know, and it turned out good! I`m re-working my first airport, ESMK, the project which learned me Gmax. And it shows now, looking at the models some 4 years later, that it really is a beginners project. Well, I´m not a pro now neither, but I´ve learned! A lot

Hiya! Silence, silence, silence - I´m going on a vacation tomorrow, way up north. No PC, no TV (I think) and almost no phone. Just snow and sunshine!I´ll be needing this, it´s been too much for a while and it´s starting to take it´s toll. I have done almost nothing in the sim for a while, but I have actually taken up another hobby - R/C - in the form of Mini-Z. Great fun, a little expensive,

Brian Fletcher over at Avsim.com have just had his review of FSDS 3 published. It´s an interesting read, but I have to quote him here. Being a keen Gmax user this line is quite amusing;"Those people who have created highly detailed aircraft and scenery objects with Gmax are a breed of their own who have most likely spent many years mastering the program"...a breed of their own... well, it´s

Hi and have a lovely future! As I write this news of the next version of FS - or rather info on that there will be a new version - is just a few days old. Good for us all, or rather exiting! The screens available show a sim that at least looks better, but apart from this we do not know much else. Digging deeper into the vast resources that are available (and trying to filter what is total b-s-h-t

Things are going okay right now... I did a lot of work on SweClass yesterday, if this continues I´ll have a first version ready in a couple of days. I´ve also started to put textures on the main terminal of ESMK, which looks good if I may say so, and the guys up north working on ESSX are doing a great work. Nice, to have some progress to report for a change. I was also interviewed by a regional

Hiya! Again, almost an eternity passes between the postings of this source of information. Howcome? Well, If you do not have anything to say - keep quiet! Not a rule that many people pay any attention to, but I find it quite true. Well, what´s new this time then? i thought I´d be writing about the progress of SweClass - there is progress, belive me! - but instead I´ll just share a thought on our

Ahh, sweet summer vacation! 3 weeks of doing nothing, or at least that´s what I´m thinking about. But chores are due and some stuff just have to be done. I´m doing a display of FS2004 this autumn (September 17th) which requires some preparation. I´ve done a highly detailed VFR area to fly over, with the aid of shape-data this area is precise in the location of roads, railways, cities, waterbodies

Yes, you read that right! V1 came half through Sweden but no longer. New source material came up that made me decide that it is worth starting all over again. The difference between the old material and the new is of course that the new material is much more detailed. Starting over have some advantages. Work with V1 was a learning process, and mistakes that where made in V1 are not repeated. The

Long time nooo post. I´ve done other things, tuning into favourite records on new speakers (www.dynaudio.com, haha!!) for example. But I reached race mid-point last week, as SweClass reached up to Östersund. Yes, it´s far up north but still you actually have half of the country left!As perhaps hinted elsewhere on the web I´ve scratched my head over some (minor?) problems. The FS landclasses are

After having spent last Thursday - which is normally a good workday because at ÖSJ there is no web - demonstrating FS2004 to a bunch of crazy trainspotters, yesterday turned out to be creative.SweClass is based on the world as it is created in FS2004, which means that every part of the country that is covered needs to be extracted. This means a fair deal of work using LWMViewer (thank you SO much

Sorry, nothing new to say. Have not had the time to do any "usefull" work last week, except for a display/demonstration of FS2004 to a bunch of trainspotters. Amusing!Springs here, work sucks, blah blah the usual.I´ll get back when I have anything to say (sorry Jenny!). Take care! :-)

Just a few words on this project... FS2004 is a program happily devoid of all political boundraries, which is great in some ways, but it is not helping out when you want to place maps according to the Norwegian border. So hopefully the rest of the maps will be placed fairly accurate, but - as is the case with the rest of the country - do not expect inch-corrected placement of cities and forrests!

Okidoki! What´s up right now? If you by chance have visited the Swedish Design Team (SDT) webpage, you might have a hunch of what we do. Being a group of grown-ups, time is limited due to the stupid thing called work - we all have to do some... Actual flying in the sim is rare these days, mostly you end up taking a short spin to check out if the latest development is working. But I´m not

Hi!I´ve fallen into the trap of blogging obviously. Actually, I have no idea whatsoever of how many flightsim-related blogs there might be out there, or at least not with a nordic connection. Nevermind, here´s one more!While working on creating all kinds of addons to Microsoft´s Flight Simulator I often stumble on things that are noteworthy. Perhaps this will be the place to publish my own
