LuisAngel Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 FSweekend with Austin Meyers Austin Meyers, the brains behind X-Plane will be attending the FSweekend in Lelystad (The Netherlands, 5 & 6 Nov) on our invitation. He will show the near final build of X-Plane 10 exclusively at our Aerosoft booth. Aerosoft feels very strong about X-Plane 10, we think it will be the simulator everybody have to try at least one time! Austin will also do a presentation at this event. If you never seen Austin present X-Plane this is something you should not miss. Austin is a very enthusiastic presenter.http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=home&shopfilter_category=Flight+Simulation&s_design=DEFAULT&s_language=english Quote

Kesomir Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Bastage! Sorry to hear about your track IR. Quote
Simmo W Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Bastage! Sorry to hear about your track IR.Bastages- now that's a good description of those iceholes! Ha, and they'd still not be able to use the software- legally that is. Probably an MSFSer.. Quote
Simmo W Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Not that there's anything wrong with them generally :-) Quote
RojanTrojan Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Sorry to hear about your TrackIR Philipp, that's disgusting behaviour. If it's not bolted to the ground or super-glued in place it gets stolen these days. What a world we live in!!! Glad you are enjoying it though, wish I could have gone, oh well maybe next year.Rhydian Quote
LuisAngel Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Austin - XPlane 10b7 FS-weekend :D Edited November 6, 2011 by LuisAngel Quote
philipp Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Hey guys,back at home, and totally exhausted. Almost no voice left, my cold has gotten worse and I'm still tired from driving home after a day that started at 5:23am when Ben Supnik called me to get out of bed...Fortunately, it turned out that my TrackIR was NOT stolen, it just got messed up with the equipment of the group of Dutch simmers who resided next to us. They found the next day they had one device more than they used to, and because of the additional micro-USB adapter I had in the box it could quickly be identified as mine. So we had it at least on Sunday, and Javier could demonstrate the fluidity of the CRJ 3d cockpit. My demo machine was able to run X-Plane 9 at totally maxed out settings, and almost all visitors concluded it looks better than FSX - because the ground textures are way sharper. Hey, we even sold a CRJ to an FSX users who promised to try the X-Plane demo!Also, we showed off the CRJ inside X-Plane 10 beta7, with simply amazing clouds.Unfortunately, I had to keep an eye on all our stuff while Austin was giving his presentation, so I could not see the official show. Javier and Jörg were there and briefed my quickly thereafter. Austin had to deal with pretty bad equipment and a projector that made everything look green.Also on Sunday Tom Kyler, Cameron and his wife showed up unexpectedly. What a pleasant surprise! Now if there is anyone more enthusiastic about X-P 10 than Austin, it is Tom. We were so busy we could barely take any pictures, so I hope some visitors put their pictures on-line so you can get an impression. I will keep an eye out.Philipp Quote
woweezowee Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 sounds like an amazing weekend to me . Did you have any chance to persuade Tom and Cameron to visit our beautiful region ffm/da/ma while beeing in europe? Quote
tkyler Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Did you have any chance to persuade Tom and Cameron to visit our beautiful region ffm/da/ma while beeing in europe?Can't say as I got out of the hotel much; however, I do look to be in Germany towards the middle of 2012 for my 20th anniversary while we visit a family friend stationed there. I'm hoping we can get to several parts of the country and it'd be nice to meet some fellow xplaners should the opportunity arise. Quote
woweezowee Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 drop a line if you realize the trip! I'm sure such a meeting could be organized. Quote
philipp Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Posted November 12, 2011 There is quite a bunch of pictures from several people showing up now, for a list of links see http://fsweekend.comI just want to share those:The CRJ on display, note the FMS on Javier's tablet below the screensAnd "solving beta problems" featuring Austin and me: Quote
