Hey folks, this is Philipp, reporting for X-Pilot out of the new German headquarters, where rapid progress is made on the way to world domination. No, just kiddin'. You might have noticed I have much longer latency in forum postings, PNs and emails during the last few weeks - and this is why. I've relocated my place in the greater Frankfurt area, now living roughly at EDDF/360/3.5. I moved in with my girlfriend, and we are slowly re-compiling our stuff to form a new household. With her parents and a very helpful fellow we moved my stuff (basically a desk, a few computers, a few books, lots of cables) and her stuff (a truckload of clothes, plus some neglect-able other things) to the new place over the last few days. Actually, her stuff included a washing machine, a device weighing approximately 50kg, which we carried up three flights of stairs (no elevator in the new house). Thanks to Martin, Marit and Jörg (no, not dr.coolgood, another Jörg) for helping us moving our stuff so quickly, you all did a terrific job! Now I've erected my desk and set-up the internet connection: 50MBit/s VDSL. Works marvelous with the new router I bought, and now I can upload CRJ updates at more than 50 times the speed I had in my old apartment. So this is the new place I work from, as you can see all my books and stuff is still packaged. But that's nothing compared to .... ... this is what our kitchen looks like right now. Way to go. So this continues to be on my agenda for the next weeks, while I try to be as responsive as possible here. Now I'm off to find my teapot and kettle in this mess... Philipp

On Saturday, for the tenth year in a row now, the Aerosoft-hosted annual German Flightsim Conference was held at the Oberschließheim Airfield, near Munich. The conference program included a very flamant introduction to X-Plane 10 by Frank Willfeld, Lufthansa Systems, former German distributor of X-Plane 6-9. Robert Randazzo from PMDG announced their product lineup for the FSX for the next years, and stated that there is not yet a final decision on which airplane will be first ported to X-Plane. After that, I had my presentation about high-quality X-Plane aircraft, and of course showed off the CRJ, for which the box-sales at Aerosoft started on this day. There will soon be posted more pictures over at Aerosoft Sim news, currently a few are already online http://asn.aerosoft.com/ These are a few of my impressions: Guess which aircraft that went on sale this day was the portrait of the conference? Hint: It is not an aircraft for FSX! Aerofly FS on display at IPACS. Mac version is out yet, and it looks awesome! Flight dynamics are actually "not bad" according to Austin Meyer who tested it on my Notebook. X-Plane-driven Diamond cockpit simulator, unfortunately they had an ATI-equipped PC driving the sim, so the lighting was buggy. But flying from this cockpit is definitely impressive! "Force X-Plane" Frank Willfeld and me, promoting X-Plane 10 to the FSX users. X-Plane 10 global and CRJ box for sale Late in the evening, after the official dinner, with some folks from simflight, Aerosoft, and Robert Randazzo from PMDG (in the center). Next morning, after having endless conversations with other developers (went to bed at almost 2:00am) and after being almost deprived of breakfast because of the stupid switch to DST at this weekend in Germany: Watch out for more photos over at the Aerosoft forums.
