  1. ...no plans to release publicly. Sorry.
  2. While it's definitely a loss for the current generation of simulator enthusiasts its a massive win for inspiring the next generation of aviation enthusiasts.
  3. Reminds me of sonic the hedge hog .. Vehicle dynamics probably lifted from halo/etc... I see it as a win on all fronts.
  4. Life has no remote control, if you don't like it get up and change it yourself.
  5. More information and previews will be announced as time progresses. James, your enthusiasm needs harnessing and directing towards something more productive than endless circular forum posts.
  6. As long as you match blender 64 bit to Python 64 bit it should "click"... (I don't have any Wintendo 64's but I know the logic behind the search paths....) -shrugs- ... been too long to make a more meaningful post, good luck! (blender? ...don't they make smoothies?)
  7. Python 2.6 is now in security-fix-only mode; no new features are being added, and no new bug fix releases are planned. We intend to provide source-only security fixes for the Python 2.6 series until October 2013 (five years after the 2.6 final release). For ongoing maintenance releases, please see the Python 2.7 Translation: Don't bother. Just move to 2.7.

  9. Posting your Log.txt file would be a hundred times more useful than guessing what you think the problem is.
  10. so that's what wears through the paint on the yokes...
  11. both modellers are equally capable when applied to the same problems; blender makes you think more, sketchup spends a few vertices to free the author from caring - it's definitely capable of creating more efficient meshes than the one shown... one easy optimization for the ramp is to allow the polygons to intersect each other, they're not solid objects and the end result may be acceptable when suitably textured. (though it probably wont auto bake so well if its made of intersecting shapes) The poles definitely should not be attached to the floor. They should be entirely separate objects, cylinders with open ends. Ultimately, blender is the better tool for games modelling, sketchup is the first thing I go to if I want to help someone visualize their renovations. There are useful modelling ops that blender can do that sketchup simply doesn't.
  12. Welcome to evolution. Some of you may have trouble believing it, or believing in it, but it really does happen.
  13. Six years ago: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=15876
  14. Please note; In my experience it takes a lot of time and effort to put together a good video. Pre-planning and at least one practice "run-through" are required. Spending time budget making previews and screenshots only takes away from more productive parts of the process. Note: I am not a part of the IXEG team but I do support them in any way I can by providing insight into the SDK or expanding Gizmo as they need.
  15. "sketchup tutorial video" into Google, videos tab, yields 7,440 results.
  16. I am not a representative of X-Aviation. My opinions are my own and having NOTHING to do with them. I make Gizmo, you know, that FREE plugin... I'm sure X-Aviation will work something out but I think it's absurd the attitude some people take towards their possessions these days.
  17. Nice work Keiran.. I get to see the RAAF Hornets at about 300 ft off the deck headed back to Amberley every couple of weeks.
  18. What do you people do about Photographs when these events happen? Email Kodak and ask for a magic copy? Learn to backup YOUR DATA people.
  19. Let's learn from our mistakes and then push ahead.
  20. The H500 was released back in about 2006... not bad for an old slapper.
