The excellent movie below was made for us by the very talented Cody Bergland of Jaggyroad Films….. I love it, hope you do too !

Furthermore Nina and I will leave for a quick visit to Paderborn tomorrow morning, meeting with lots of Flightsim Celebrities and having a nice dinner tomorrow night.

We’ll be back Sunday afternoon….. then it will be full steam ahead finishing the preparations for the Lelystad FS Show !

Yes, it is quiet around here. And for a reason. I am very busy preparing for our visits to Lelystad and to Paderborn. In Paderborn Aerosoft have their annual German Flight Simulator Conference, although I have nothing to do there but meet people and eat (!). Lelystad is more work because we have an FSAddon booth again this year and we expect some 5000 visitors again !!!

As always I thought 5 months ago ".. oh how good. Still 5 months time to prepare everything at my leisure….".
2 weeks ago I had still to start with preparations…….. bugger! Too many things happened in between, unfortunately.
But it looks as if we’re on schedule.

We’ll have Jaap van Hees demo It’s Your Plane on our brand spanking new Vista64 FSX computer (yes, really, I succumbed!). And we’ll have some ’show discounts’ for visitors as well.

You’ll find us in the main hall, just after entering the Aviodrome Museum, next to the PC Pilot booth. You cannot miss us and I hope to see many of our customers in person !

After many many months of gloom we finally have some great news: FSCargo will be back. Maurizio Gavioli, the developer of this magnificent and very popular add-on, has finally cracked the part of FSX that was causing all these problems.

That means that we now WILL have an FSX version after all. And most likely even TWO different products. We are working on at the very minimum replacing the old FS9 version with a similar one for FSX. But already we had new plans 2 years ago, and we will most certainly try to include these in the new product.

In addition to a ’stand-alone’ FSCargo, we are also contemplating a version that will allow ‘external’ assignments and hence could be attached or included for all sorts of VA software and VA flying.

Stay tuned !!!
