Partnership!

[Jedipie]

Hello all,

I'm posting this up to see if mabye i could get a little software development team going for XP.  I see a lot of you guys single handed making great models but with this we can possibly get a programmer in aswell and get some good quality software.  I don't know if this is against the forums rules to post this so if it is just remove it.  Anyways, if your interested let me know.

Thanks'

What do you feel you have to offer?

We're always on the look out for talent.

Well I'm a good beta tester because I am a pilot.  I have an eye for perfection.  That is why I only fly few aircraft in sims.  Recently I have undertaken plane modleing for XP.  I havn't done much at all with it but I learn fast.  I'm not just saying that either.  I only had about 6 hours when I soloed.  Seeing how I'm not far into modleing I could start programming.  That has always been something I want to learn.  I'd really love to be part of this

So you're offering to be a beta tester?

If you want to learn everything there is to learn about something under someone elses guidance that's an apprenticeship, not a partnership.

[Jedipie]

Yes I can be a tester.  I have the feel and eye of detail for it.  I know most of the procedures therefore I know how things should react. 

I'm learning modeling as a side hobby at the moment.  It would be nice to get the apprenticeship though. 

Earlier I was offering something to start up together with someone new also.  I should have clarified that.  If you have a spot I would be delighted to work with you.

[Ben Russell]

New people are always welcome, if I'm short it's because we're all very busy.

We have people like Kieran who've come a very long way with their modeling in the last year, it takes time and effort but it can be a lot of fun.

Check out some of his work:

I also have a new release of Gizmo planned soon which will put some fun toys on the table, it makes programming for X-Plane about as painless as it gets.

Stick around, ask questions if you get stuck, we have a lot of X-Plane experts here.

I am currently running an Open Beta for our next Real Scenery Downloader application.

All feedback would be appreciated.

All you have to do is run it and download the free demo tiles, you get a small slice of photo scenery for free.

If anything goes wrong with the Downloader, or could be better, report back in the beta thread:

Well I don't know when you will be closing the testing.  I'm actually on vacation right now.  I didn't expect something that quick but I get back on the 6th and can try it out then.  I run Windows 7 32bit.  Hope you still have it going then!  If not, it looks like you got enough people already on this one.

Regards,

Michael
