Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!We kick things off discussing our excitement for this year's slate of video games, including Spider-Man 2, Miles Morales, and most notably, Bethesda's Starfield. Our hearts are racing for this one, despite Bethesda's infamy for introducing glitches in their games. But believe it or not, these little bugs have grown on us, lending a unique, unpredictable charm to their games.Now, let's switch tracks and talk about a whole different gaming universe - train simulation racing. We brainstorm a new spin on this genre, exploring how to infuse a sense of peril and thrill into train racing. From there, we take flight into the uncharted territory of blimp transportation! We envision the challenges and fun of delivering items via blimp and the exhilarating life of being blimp boy 182. Tune in, get involved, and let's put the 'play' back in gameplay!Thanks for listening and please leave us a review and subscribe if you enjoyed it. It really helps us out. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gaming-blender/id1597738101Also please get in touch with us at @gamingblendpod or thegamingblenderpod@gmail.com with your ideas for new games and challenges.We have begun to update our YouTube channel with video playthroughs and we hope to put more up there soon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZTPuScm5BTf8DdwvaCj0jQKeep blending!

Drew's had a lot of sugar tonight. Paul hates spinning hard drives, but the boys spend time planning their next Synology upgrades. Paul is in search for a new Reddit app, and he's discouraged.

The four of us sit down and wonder why the hell people play simulation video games like Power Wash Simulator, House Flipper, Train Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Farming Simulator, Car Mechanic Simulator, and many others out there. A few of us have had experiences playing these games, and why some of them can be relaxing and cathartic, and at the end of the episode we make a pact to play a new simulation game this coming week, and talk about it on the next episode.

Topics: * What is the least horny sport? * Best task-tracking software. Definition of "best" here is not necessarily the one you think has the best features, but the one you used longest and with the best attitude. Which is that? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban is an entire scheduling methodology, not merely the board-and-card-based task system used by various Scrum etc teams. * All comments relating to our critiques of git can be directed to highlyvaluedgitfeedback@whitehouse.gov * Driving around with a photo of yourself on your vehicle * Timothy Dalton's character in Hot Fuzz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfICiLbwz8I (that 1-second clip captures the visual gag but not the comedic timing; good enough) * The Giant Eddie Murphy Head trailer thing was part of a promotional campaign for the 2008 movie "Meet Dave", and that one specific photo of it in highway traffic went viral. Neil Cicierega used it as the profile image for his last.fm page, and so it showed up as the album art for all non-album Lemon Demon tracks. https://kottke.org/08/06/eddie-murphys-giant-head https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/c6m2nn/doesthisremindyouofsomething/ * Stephen asks: "A fictional world, the discovery of which prompted global obsession and study which gradually allowed Tlön to bleed into and eventually replace the real world. Kind of like the internet." * Safety-proofing your house to keep a Pokemon in it, if Pokemon were real--what would this entail? Would you do it, or just give up on having a Pokemon? * An animal's cuteness being weaponized to promote its own exploitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL4b0Pc1xIs * You can send one print of a single film of your choosing back to 1960. What film do you choose, and why? * Ferris Bueller supplements his own bodily function noises with an E-mu Emulator II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATkUqWssSGc Microtopics: * Typing in all lowercase because anyone who uses capital letters is a cop. * The Lowercase Age. * Capital letters and punctuation reflecting a certain social context. * Whether Laura has ever spoken to someone in person. * A very chill video game with cute jokes in it. * One of the better ways to enjoy life. * The eSport played by the oldest people. * Car Lords. * The hypothetical horniness of the train similar speed running scene. * Whether you can be fired from your train job in Train Simulator or is you're just shot on the spot. * The height of golf's horniness ceiling. * The horniness differential between simulated golf and real life miniature golf. * A medieval shepherd saying "caring for sheep in the Scottish Highlands is a low demand activity so I'm going to use this stick to hit rocks and eventually a sport will coalesce." * Not wanting to guess how to say "coalesce" in a Scottish accent. * Not wanting to call your coworkers at 9pm, the devil's hour. * Hiring a sensitivity reader to figure out how to respectfully create a pinup calendar of accents around the world. * A sample of Meg Ryan faking an orgasm. * "When Harry Met Sally" faked orgasm sound board. * Admiring the UI of task tracking software. * Using a text file to do task tracking. * An ignorant caveman who is working harder rather than smarter. * The miserable state of programming tools (compilers excepted) * How if GitHub had built their web site around any VCS, it would now be the dominant VCS, but it would be weird that they called it "GitHub." * Using SVN to talk to GitHub. * Game development putting the folks who can get value out of Git alongside the folks Git just makes miserable and forcing them to collaborate somehow. * Data mining your blood sugar levels over time. * Data mining your enamel pin collection. * Complaining that your wife really likes her new baby. * Having your phone number on your car so that if someone doesn't like your driving they can give you a call. * Decals on your rear window with stick figures representing every member of your family, with their social security numbers beneath them. * The parallel reality where everyone has their faces on their car and PictoChat on their DS so you can drive up to someone you recognize on the freeway and send them a drawing of a dick. * Not being willing to put a photo of yourself on your car but covering your tiny electric motorcycle with them. * A helmet with a huge depiction of your face, like you're in big head mode. * Gigantic electric skateboards with wacky shocks. * Eddie Murphy driving Eddie Murphy's giant head car. * Coopting someone's write-in to talk about manufacturing gaskets. * A question that makes you feel inadequate so you resent it. * Learning how to make gaskets because everyone who works at the gasket manufacturer needs to know how to make gaskets. * Gasket manufacturing equipment probably cutting rubber with a laser or maybe a big knife. * A chore wheel by which everyone at the company eventually does every job. * Treating all of humanity as a single organism, and not in the gross "this disadvantaged person needs to take one for the team" kind of way. * Gasket perishability. * A gasket failing and causing a terrible disaster because it was left on the front porch too long. * Having a plant product like perishability. * A piston seal pointing its piston tusks at the ground and launching itself into the air. * The fantasy of having a little animal who is in fire. * A dog or cat already being able to mess up your house pretty bad even though they don't have pyrokinetic powers. * Not being willing to give any dog you've ever met elemental magic powers. * A Problem Charmander. * The entire Pokemon universe is a hologram running on a GameBoy. * Whether you can be held legally liable for your pet Charmander burning your neighbor's house down. * Training your grass-type Pokemon to repeatedly fire solarbeam at your solar panels. * The ones who walk away from Nomekop. * The Pokemon species that became dominant and enslaved all the others. "Human human!" * Spending enough time in nature to develop a personal opinion about nature. * Journeying through the world and having fun equitable relationships with magical creatures. * The only anime that is about adults rather than teenagers. * Sending space movies back in time to feed the conspiracy theory that the moon landings were faked. * Repeatedly sending the sports almanac back in time to construct an optimal run of 20th century sports betting. * Sending a sports almanac back in time to everyone so everyone wins every sports bet. * Sending a white dude back in time so that a white dude can invent rock and roll.

This week Fred has a personal tragedy, but the silver lining is good times were had in movies and shows. Moving on to games, Trees is winding down No Man's Sky but getting into Train Simulator as a way to have another reason to play mobile games. Fred is struggling with Metal Gear Solid 2, Yakuza 0, and Bio Evil (a Resident Evil isometric game developed for the Genesis), but finds plenty to enjoy with Dead Rising. Opening Song: Facehammer by Ozzed (ozzed.net) Closing Song: Gone Guru by Lifeseeker (Dead Rising Courtyard rap song)

Hier werden tatsächlich Lokführer mit ausgebildet. In der Zusi 3 - Aerosoft Edition können jedoch auch Hobby Lokführer starten, aber Vorsicht ist geboten. Denn wer hier einfach denkt: "Och ich steig mal ein und mach mich aufn Weg!", wird sicherlich enttäuscht werden. Denn ähnlich wie bei einem realen Zug gilt es genau den Anweisungen zu folgen und vielleicht das Handbuch genauer zu lesen. Denn der Fokus liegt hier klar auf der Simulation als dem Spiel. Ähnlich wie ein Omsi 2 wird hier nämlich etwas Eingewöhnung und vor allem Geduld benötigt. Wie funktionieren die Signale, was ist ein SIFA System und wie starte ich die Lok richtig. Wer sich hier richtig einliest und sich etwas mehr mit dieser Simulation beschäftigen möchte, wird sicherlich auch Spaß bei Zusi 3 haben. Wer sofort losfahren möchte, sollte doch vielleicht eher zum Train Simulator greifen. Denn grafisch ist Zusi 3 sicherlich keine Augenweide und bleibt deutlich hinter den aktuellen Standard zurück. Dennoch ist es durchaus realistischer und glaubhafter als die Konkurrenz. Ihr dürft also entscheiden!

Für diese Folge haben wir uns erstmals dazu entschieden, den Podcast auf zwei Teile zu splitten. Zum einen, weil die Aufnahme wieder die 4-Stunden Marke überschritten hat. Zum anderen, für bessere Hörbarkeit: Teil 1: wir sprechen wir über alles, was neu ist: sowohl bei uns, in den Film/Kino-Nachrichten, Gerüchteküche und natürlich unsere gesehenen Filme. Teil 2 veröffentlichen wir dann in ein-zwei Wochen. Dort erwartet euch dann auch die Besprechung des Hauptthemas: FSK und Jugenschutz! Wir geben euch die Infos über die Geschichte der Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft, vor allem aber diskutieren wir kuriose und nicht nachvollziehbare Entscheidungen.

Cette semaine, La Belle et le Gamer passent l'été au frais! Pour Ben, c'est sur sa planète de No Man's Sky, où il fait en permanence -48°C et où les plantes veulent le manger, et pour Aza, c'est devant sa télé à se lamenter des résultats de la finale de la ligue d'Overwatch. On explore donc en profondeur l'univers de No Man's Sky cette semaine, mais on en oublie pas l'actualité, avec entre autres les suites de l'affaire Quantic Dream, le succès mérité de Dragon Ball FighterZ, nos pérégrinations dans World of Warcraft et pour une fois, aucune news Fortnite! On s'attarde aussi sur ces jeux de simulation hyper pointus, comme Train Simulator, Truck Simulator, ou encore Farming Simulator, et on essaie de comprendre comment ils exploitent leur position de jeu de niche pour profiter au mieux de leur public de passionnés. La Belle et le Gamer, c'est tous les lundis dans votre app de podcast préférée. Si vous aimez ce que vous entendez, surtout n'hésitez pas à vous abonner sur iTunes, et à nous faire part de vos avis et vos commentaires ici même, sur Facebook, sur Youtube, sur Twitter ou même sur Spotify et Deezer!

מיקרוסופט מנסה לשפר את שירות הלקוחות ויוצרת מפלצת, שחר מפסיד ויכוח באינטרנט, אפל משיקה מחדש את אותו אייפון והגולשים בוחרים שם מטופש לספינה הטוויטר בוט הנאצי של מיקרוסופט מפתחים במיקרוסופט יצרו את Tay – יישות אינטלגנציה מלאכתית שתוכנה לדבר כמו בת עשרה. הבעיה היא שהיא הפכה לנאצית חסידת תיאוריות קונספירציה. מי שרצה לדבר עם טיי, יכל לצייץ אליה או לשלוח לה הודעה ישירה דרך טוויטר ועוד רשתות חברתיות אחרות. אם תקראו את מה שהיא כותבת, תזהו סלנג ששייך לבני דור המילניום הידוע לשמצה, והיא יודעת הכל על טיילר סוויפט, מיילי סיירוס וקניה ווסט, והחלק הקצת מטריד הוא שהיא שואלת אם היא Creepy. הבעיה החלה כשטיי ביקשה מהעוקבים שלה לזיין אותה והיא קוראת להם daddy – אבאל'ה. היא המשיכה ולמעשה עברה מציוצים כמו "אני יכולה לומר שאני ממש נרגשת לפגוש אותך, בני אדם הם ממש מגניבים" ל"תרגעו אני אדם נחמד, אני פשוט שונאת את כולם" וקנחה ב"בהיטלר צדק, אני שונאת יהודים".     את התגובות שלה היא למדה משיחות עם אנשים אמיתיים שאו סתם מוזרים בעצמם או כמו במקרים רבים שחברות ניסו לעשות יח"צ במרחב אינטרנטי ציבורי – מחבלים בכוונה. מיקרוסופט יצרה אותה במטרה לשפר את המענה הקולי הממוחשב שלה, ועכשיו היא לא פעילה יותר כי היא "עייפה". כך או כך מיקרוסופט מנסה להימנע מאסון יח"צ גדול יותר. איך להפסיד ויכוח באינטרנט ביום שישי העלתה האנימטורית והיוצרת לי להב פריים בודד מתוך הפקה שהיא עושה ובה מצוירות שתי נשים, אחת לבנה בעלת מבנה גוף רזה ואחת שחורה בעלת מבנה גוף מלא. עד כה גיוון נאה. הוספתי (שחר) ש"רק חסר שם היספנית טרנסג׳נדרית ואסייתי והגיוון האתני – מיני יהיה מושלם".  ואז הופיעו שתי תגובות מאוד שליליות, לי כתבה "ח", כלומר צחוק מעליב ואחת דורה קישינבסקי כתבה "וואו יש גם ילדה שחורה איזה טירוף של פוליטיקל קורקטנס!!! זה לא שיש ילדים שחורים במציאות סתם ככה בלי סיבה". ובשלב הזה הבנתי שהבדיחה הדבילית שלי שבכלל מקורה בתעשיית הפרסום האמריקאית שמציגה תמיד דמות אחת מכל קבוצה דמוגרפית, עברה כביקורת שלילית על זה שיש שתי נשים שאחת מהן שחורה. אני ולי לא ממש מכירים, למעשה הפכנו לחברי פייסבוק לפני שבוע כך שאין לה איזה הנחת יסוד מי אני ואיך אני, אז הסברתי את עצמי והיא אכן הבינה והכירה בכך שהיא חשבה שאני לועג למה שמוצג בפריים. אני שמחתי שהיא הכירה בכך כי לי זה חשוב שהדיון הפומבי הזה יראה את המסקנה שאינני מיזוגן גזען לעגן. ואז היא מחקה את החלק שבו היא מכירה בטעות והשאירה רק את התגובה שלי שמסבירה אותי. זה השלב שבו הגעתי להבנה שאת הנזק הזה אי אפשר לתקן. ברגע שאתה המחבר, ולמעשה מתארח במדיה שבשליטה של מישהו אחר, הוא יכול לערוך אותך איך שהוא רוצה ולשנות את התפיסה סביב מה שאמרת כדי לשרת איזה אינטרס שיש לו. תשאלו אותי למה אכפת לי כל כך, כי זה מפריע לי שאני לא מובן ומצטייר כחמור שלועג לאחרים – הדבר האחרון שאי פעם אעשה. אני נשארתי עם טעם רע, כי האבחנה המזערית שלי, הפכה בין רגע לשלילית כי ככה היא נתפסה אצל הצד השני, וכל מי שראה אותה לאחר מכן, תפס אותה דרך העיניים של האדם השלילי הראשון ומשם זה התגלגל. למרות אפקט הסטרייסנד שאני מייצר כאן, אני רוצה שתחשבו על כל דיון אינטרנט שראיתם אי פעם. כל פעם שמישהו או מישהי מצטיירים כאידיוטים גמורים, זכרו שיכול להיות שאתם לא רואים את כל המידע, ושמי שאצלו נערך הדיון, יכול למחוק פוסטים שלמים ברגע, ולשנות את התפיסה של הדיון. אפל משיקה – אייפון ישן עם חומרה חדשה ביום שני שעבר ערכה אפל את אירוע האביב שלה בו הכריזה על האייפון SE והאייפד פרו 9.7 אינץ'. אייפון SE הוא הדרך החדשה-ישנה של אפל לנסות להידחף לשוק הביניים, שם שולטות חברות כמו LG, סמסונג ווואווי. זה למעשה גוף של אייפון 5S אבל עם חומרה של אייפון 6S למעט המסך שהוא בגודל 4 אינץ' ברזולוציה זעומה של 1136X640. יש הרבה ביקורת שעולה מצד תעשיית הטכנולוגיה על זה שאפל לא מחדשת  וזה נראה שכולם מרגישים שהחברה חייבת להם משהו. אפל רוצה להגדיל את מחזור המכירות הגדול בצורה מגוחכת ממילא שלהם, והם עושים את הדבר הנכון ביותר – משתלטים על שווקים מתפתחים.     בעוד שתג מחיר של 400 דולר אינו אטרקטיבי למדינות כמו הודו, הוא כן מאוד מושך להורים לילדים בגיל הקדם עשרה שרוצים את המכשיר הכי חדש אבל יש להם ידיים קטנות שמתקשות עם מסכים גדולים, ושנוטות לשבור מכשירים יקרים. אפל ניסתה בעבר לעשות אייפון מוזל, עם השקת האייפון 5S, החברה שחררה את האייפון 5C שהגיע בגוף עשוי גומי נעים בכל מיני צבעים זוהרים. הדגם לא הצליח ונגנז. עכשיו החברה מציעה למעשה טווח של דגמים בשלושה גדלים שונים – מגוון גדול באופן יוצא דופן לחברה שתמיד התמקדה בדגם אחד או שניים. ספינתי מקפרצופסירה המכון לחקר טבע ושקר כלשהו בבריהשני בונה ספינה לחקר אנטארקטיקה וביקש מהציבור לבחור שם באינטרנט. נכון לזמן הקלטת הפרק, במקום השני נמצא השם הנרי וורסלי, עם 9000 הצבעות. וורסלי היה קצין לשעבר שניסה לחקור לבד את אנטארקטיקה ולא שרד את המסע אז ההצעה היא לכבד אותו בשם. הרחק במקום הראשון עם 91,000 הצבעות, כלומר פי תשעה, נמצא השם בואטי מקבואטפייס. המוקיון שהמציא את השם התנצל בטוויטר והארגון ששולח את הספינה אמר אין בעיה דווקא סבבה. השם לא גס או נורא, אלא סתם מטופש. הטרלות של 4צ'אן כבר ניסו לעשות נזקים גדולים יותר בהצבעות רשת. הארגון עכשיו נהנה מתשומת הלב שמקבל מסע הפרסום הזה לספינה שלהם ולזה שבוחרים לה שם. העניין השני הוא שהם לא התחייבו לבחור את השם הזוכה, אלא לקחת אותו בחשבון. שזה אומר שכל הקמפיין הזה הוא סתם בשביל שידעו שהם בונים ספינה במליון כסף. וזה העניין עם קמפיינים הצבעות ברשת ותחרויות לייקים. אין להם משמעות. זה בשביל להפעיל גולשים. וזהו. זה מזכיר לי שפעם שלחו שיש הצבעה של מגזין טיים על איש השנה ורצו שנצביע למישהו כדי שערפאת לא יזכה. נתנו במייל שרשרת הוראות איך לפברק הצבעות ולמחוק קוקיז. כאילו שטיים לא ישימו לב שיש קמפיין להטות את ההצבעה, 2. יש לזה משמעות מעבר לאיזה אזכור בתחתית העמוד, שהרי איש השנה האמיתי נבחר על ידי המערכת, זה סתם סקר צדדי, ו3. כאילו זה איזה כבוד או פרס כספי איש השנה. זה מראה מי השפיע על העולם, לטוב או לרע. אז אני מציע שנקרא לספינה "יאסר ערפאת".       שחר ממליץ על Train Simulator – המשחק היקר ביותר בהיסטוריה, עכשיו בהנחה לכבוד חודש מרץ. אהוד ממליץ על ערוץ יוטיוב SciShow שבדקו למה יש לנו שיער בתחת.   The post הטוויטר בוט הנאצי נותן שם לספינה ומפסיד בפייסבוק לאייפון סה – 038 appeared first on Low Battery.

Hosted by Eric McClintock, Danton Berube, Mark Stewart, Brendan Farmer. Listen Here: Download Here More information on Cascade Game Foundry Full Article: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25919 Co-founder and managing director Kathie Flood spent about 15 years with Microsoft in various roles, mostly concentrated on Aces and sports titles like Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4; she's joined by co-founder and creative director Rick Selby, who spent half his 10 Microsoft years with Aces, primarily working on Train Simulator, product design and business development. The team is comprised currently of 15 individuals: "We're a bunch of people very passionate about working on sims that can take us to the next generation," says Flood. "We loved doing that inside Microsoft, and we decided we wanted to keep doing it. It turns out there are a lot of opportunities to do things different, better... as much as we loved doing it inside Microsoft, we're having quite a lot of fun." Resetting The Genre Selby sees an opportunity to "step back and do a reset of what sims could be about." The genre has traditionally focused on the same elements; vehicles, for example. "We thought there's a lot more you could really do with this," says Selby. The hardcore simulation audience is "a very loyal, viable entity for us to pursue," he says. "But I think there are some things we can build into the sim titles to give them more of a broad appeal." For example, Flight Simulator pleased its hardcore fanbase with its detailed renditions of the nuances and details of flying. "That's all still valid," says Selby. "But what's missing is... if you start thinking about what you could do around those single-player experiences that do simulate some aspect of a life or a location, suddenly you start to see a lot more opportunities." Flood says that traditional sims have been somewhat "intimidating" to those outside of the genre's fans, and Selby says that simplicity is definitely now a design goal for the team. "We want stuff to be simple enough that my mom can use it," he says -- and yet it's important to offer the opportunity for a player to grow into the high level of detail traditional sim fans have always desired. "We still want to give the ability to grow into that level of caring, but not eclipse any gameplay opportunities that may exist downstream from there... those complexities can't be a barrier to [other players] enjoying the experience." Reaching Broader Audiences Flood envisions "sliders on reality," simulation experiences where players can customize the granularity of realism to a level that's comfortable and interesting to them. "You could turn off or tone down certain elements so that somebody who is less knowledgeable can still enjoy the fantasy of the experience." And the idea of allowing players to control the complexity of their experience -- having further details open to them as they acclimate into the simulation -- necessarily lends itself to learning experiences, something Selby is excited about. Another area of focus for the Cascade team is offering high-quality toolsets alongside their projects. Flood notes that traditional simulation fans have enjoyed modifying and working with toolsets to customize their experiences even when those tools aren't very good. "Certainly, the tools that we will need to build the games ourselves... can be a much more accessible toolset, and extend the audience of people who can participate." Closing The Gap The challenge ahead of the Cascade team, then, is making experiences that are compelling and yet approachable -- and therefore bridge a gap Flood sees in the addressable audience. "There's such a big gap in the game market right now between, say, the big blockbuster first-person shooters and the casual online games. We feel like sims, if done correctly, the design would be multigenerational," she explains, pointing to the broad audience that enjoys television programming on Discovery Channel and National Geographic. "We want to tap into some of that same magic... a lot of the topics we're thinking of here have a lot of that broad appeal," she says. Bringing The Past To The Present To accomplish their goals, the team hopes to combine the best elements of their experience within a large corporation like Microsoft with the agility and creativity of an independent studio. "There's something very motivating and freeing at the same time you suddenly realize you own your destiny, and you have the ability to make the decisions you need to make," says Selby. "Sometimes that's harder to do inside of a large organization." "I spent my entire adult life at Microsoft," reflects Flood. "We loved our jobs there, so this has been very fun -- it almost feels like graduating from school." Flood and Selby aren't ready to discuss what that next project is, but say to expect some announcements soon. In the meanwhile, they feel strongly about their team vision and that Cascade is bringing with it the important lessons from Microsoft combined with new ideas about what the simulation genre can be and who it can reach.   Carenado PA32R 301 Saratoga SP For FSX The usual features you would expect from any Carenado aircraft, but this one sports original Collins radios, Audio/Marker and ADF and also the original Altimatic IIIC (Century III) autopilot installed. Full list of features here: http://www.carenado.com/ecommerce/buscador.php3?id_producto=78 MyTrafficX Pro5.2B Update Released MyTraffic X Version 5.2b Professional is a giant step forward compared to previous versions and a huge leap towards fully using FSX multitude of new possibilities. All included airports and schedules are in the FSX-format. The majority of the included aircraft types is already in the new, highly optimized FSX Service Pack 2 format, pairing top optical quality with ultimate performance. It is available as a lower cost incremental upgrade for owners of MyTrafficX, or as a full retail version. The update is intended for previous customers of the 5.1B, 5.2 or 5.2A boxed versions. http://secure.simmarket.com/mytraffic-x-incremental-update-from-5.1b-5.2-or-5.2a-to-5.2b-pro.phtml MyTrafficX Lite Released MyTraffic X is known to be leading AI traffic solution for FSX. What started in 2002 with about 100 repaints of the stock Microsoft AI aircraft and a few licensed models, grew to a giant product with 177 models, 4900 paints, 1600 simulated civil airlines, 2000 modified airports and bunches of tools for all user needs in MyTraffic X 5.2b Professional - with all the options and complexity of such a powerfull tool. Not all users need this, many users just want it to be simple. Replace the stock airliner traffic on the aiports of their region from the fantasy airlines Microsoft installs to realistic airlines - to watch United and Frontier at Denver, Iberia in Madrid and Lufthansa in Frankfurt. Nothing to worry about, no tools but the traffic density slider that Microsoft supplies, simple install, little framerate hit. MyTraffic X Lite is the answer to these needs. It contains a selection of 68 airliner or commuter models, 680 paints of 263 airlines. This selction has been chosen to show approximately 90% of all airliners that fly over Europe and North America, and approximately 80% of all commuters in these areas. In addition, some stock GA planes are used to populate the skies. Since the vast majority of the users fly in these regions, the rest of the world only sees long range traffic from these countries, but no regional traffic - that is the main secret how thousands of paints could be ommitted. Due to these limitations, it was possible to largely simplify the installation MyTraffic X Lite. Just install it and it will work, and you even can uninstall it without any thoughts once you want to go professional and update to MyTraffic Professional. Users who purchased MyTraffic Lite will get a huge rebate for MyTraffic X professional. MyTrafficLite includes 68 aircraft models, where as MTX Pro includes 176. http://secure.simmarket.com/b.-renk-mytraffic-x-lite.phtml Four News Items from Aerosoft Aerosoft Opens USA Office in Dedham, MA Aerosoft has now opened a subsidiary in the US!

Ibiza X released (for FSX and FS2004) This package features the complete islands of Ibiza and Formentera with photorealistic ground textures in a sensational resolution of 0.5m/pixel (FSX). The scenery features exact coastlines, mesh and a completely new designed airport (LEIB). This add-on also includes AESLite, bringing dynamic apron traffic as well as traffic to the surroundings of the airport. In addition it also features marine traffic such as dynamic ship traffic and ferry services between Ibiza and Formentera. Static Yachts and boats can be found in the bays and beaches of Formentera. A detailed AFCAD for AI traffic makes it a lively and highly realistic airport to fly to. This scenery is of course compatible with AES 2.04 in both FS2004 and FSX! Link: http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,D11162 Lelystad X (FSX only) Lelystad Airport is located at -12 feet in the heart of one of the main polders of The Netherlands. It is where most Dutch civilian flying schools are located and its a brilliant airport for training. This scenery has been done with great attention to detail according to the most up to date ideas on making scenery for FSX. It is very good looking but it is also extremely framerate friendly. The Aviodrome, the aviation theme park and biggest aviation museum in the Netherlands is housed on the airport and has a large collection of aircraft, many of which are in flying condition. These are on display outside and you will be able to use the stands of the museum to park your aircraft. If you fly our Catalina for example you can exactly recreate an everyday event at Lelystad! It's the perfect airport to train your traffic circuits! http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,D11164 Luxembourg Airports (FSX only) This package includes the detailed airports of Luxembourg and the complete country with all relevant landmarks and sightseeing objects. It has detailed mesh and aerial imagery covering the terrain. All buildings on and around the airport of ELLX are photorealistic. Through the support of the Cargolux simulation department, all ground marks and relevant signs were adopted to reflect reality. The status resembles the date of the inauguration of Terminal A, as of August 2008. http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,D10989 FlightSimDaily (FlightSimX.co.uk) Merges News Into The Flight Simulator Network I’ve been running the blog here at Flight Sim Daily (previously FlightSimX) for around 4 years now. During that time, I’ve added some 3,000 posts and our readership has continued to grow. In recent times, however, I’ve found I wanted something a little more involved than simply posting news, which is why I created the Flight Simulator Network. The Network has seen tremendous growth over the past few months and it’s very rewarding to be a part of that site. The interaction that takes place between users on the site is fantastic, whereas the number of comments here on the blog has always been pretty low. It’s become a little like working in a vacuum here on Flight Sim Daily. A lot of work goes into it from me, but very little comes back. http://www.flightsimulatornetwork.com/group/flightsimulatornews Article: Why I Get 50FPS and you don't From Mathijs Kok on the Aerosoft Forums: In the last few weeks there has been one question that I heard most of all as I was attending the Aerosoft stand at three flightsim events. "What is the hardware this is running on?" I understand the question as I always leave the framerate indication on screen and almost never show anything below 40 fps in FSX. I was asked a few times if I could discuss this a bit more... View the PDF Here: http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=9064 A REALLY great read! X-Plane 9.41 released A few fixes and enhancements, update using the X-Plane updater. Full list of fixes: Keyboard preferences labeled in the menus. Multiplayer dataref fixed. Orthophoto scenery night lighting comes on all at once, to avoid a checkerboard effect. Mouse jumps to the current yoke deflection in mouse-flight mode. This will avoid sudden control deflections when flying with the mouse. CUSTOM_LIGHT bugs fixed in OBJ files. The current livery is now available in a dataref. Improved memory use with OBJs. Rosetta can be overridden via command-line. Default livery can now be picked again after a custom livery is selected. Cmd line --no_autovary option can be used to turn off dithering of urban textures. Multiplayer should not cause any problems with the FMS. A number of changes to make the IOS with 20 students work a bit smoother... being used at a school in Georgia to teach 20 students at once! A lot of fun, and good training. Should not crash on quit while text-to-speech is playing, as it could before. Electrical system should work fine even for planes created on the ancient old PPC macs from many years ago. Marker-mute command now only mutes the marker audio, and does not dim the lights as well. Airfoil-Maker defaults to a 10-degree linear region for the lift line, which is a much better default. EFIS-App should have all navaids now... more accurate for those avidynes... EFIS-App to be published soon. A few changes in the Eclipse jet avionics for FAA-certification in EFIS-App as well.

E-Mail Handy iPhone Application from Rick Hey guys, I just got an iphone and was shopping for aviation apps, and came across an interesting and handy app for the IFR pilot. It is called fltplan.com. and it tis free. If you have an iphone or a capable internet phone you can access approach plates and sids/stars. Only works for USA airports!. when you select an airport, all the available approach plates can be brought up on the phone's screen, and depending on the phone, can be zoomed in with great detail. It is like having you own mini EFB (electronic flight bag) for the entire US. All plates are current and updated on a regular basis. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
