  1. Quoting myself quoting a web page given in the very first answer to your thread. Perhaps you should try actually reading stuff. It helps, I promise.
  2. You seem to post a non-ending stream of bullshit "help me" threads. Please stop, it's boring.
  3. Do those PC's include a top-notch LED monitor? ...doubtful at best.
  4. Tom, Read more, throw less stones. Your plugin witch-hunt is boring. Ben.
  5. I call your attention to "Airplane", rated PG. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/
  6. http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2137.0
  7. The official Australian Apple Store nearest where I live has boxed copies X-Plane on the shelf for purchase.
  8. Please be patient.
  9. To quote the late, great, Randy Pausch; "The brick walls are there to keep the other people out... the ones who don't want it bad enough." Congrats on smashing through at least some of your own. 8) I look forward to my own break-through parties.
  10. Customer expectations. -sighs- The CRJ does some very interesting things with a whole suite of very interesting software. vasFMC, etc. The Saab is based around an entirely different suite of software, being Gizmo. vasFMC's aim in life is to be, well, an FMC. It's good to see it go modular and embeddable at last. Gizmo's aim in life is to unlock X-Plane from the hands of elitist programmers and arcane, horrible, taxing, boring, horendously over-burdended C. It aims to let you express your systems ideas as quickly as possible. We don't write web pages and DHTML in C/C++ or even Java applets, we use JavaScript and DOM, or Flash. For the record, there are parts of Gizmo that are multi-threaded, scripters in general don't know or care which parts. I would like to eventually add a facility where Gizmo scripters can; A: Draw using a nice friendly graphics API to a texture in RAM that in a way that can be threaded. This would be similar to what the CRJ does. (I think... not sure on the gory tech details tbh.) B: Provided dedicated "worker thread" spawning api's with as many useful tools exposed as possible so that scripters can be artistic and push Gizmo and its facilities in ways I've not anticipated. The reality is that it's relatively slow progress. I've got a new job and I'm trying to rack up as many hours as I can to prove worthy to the management -and- save my a$$ off. So while the CRJ has just blown the lid off the the benchmarks for X-Plane, please do not simply assume that every product is going to hit that mark in the same ways. I'm doing what I can, when I can, to make Gizmo as potent as possible in every way. It's pretty much the only I.T. work I do anymore. I'm working a boring as hell "freight" job to pay for it too. On the upside, I don't need a Gym membership. It's 00:21 here, the end of my day, apologies if I'm worn a little thin here and there. Opinions are my own. Bla bla bla. Can't speak for the performance of the Saab, haven't flown it.
  11. The Saab is based around Gizmo. There is no multi-core optimisation for the parts of Gizmo they're using. Or perhaps you'd like to wait an extra year? mmm? Seriously dude. That's twice I've caught you at this now.
  12. The last two Laminar Sound Engine upgrades I can remember are; 1 - The avionics fan and dedicated volume slider for it. 2 - The mouse click sample, which is just insane.
  13. Yes. We're there. The CRJ has been on sale for 12 hrs on X-Aviation.com now, we've just not been telling you to see who's actually smart enough to check out the store for the answer you all want so badly. Unfortunately you all failed. Too bad.
  14. ..I think your "customer expectations" are a little out of line here. Just sayin, you know. Seeing as you wrote a whole thread about it.
  15. Google search: "site:www.bourneaviation.com x-plane" Returns two (2) results. Links to this new "X-Plane content" at this point would be a wise reply on your behalf. If you cannot provide links, well.... the muds on your face, not mine, buddy.

  17. ...big swells rolling in and I'm sitting here helping out on the damn Saab. *mutters*
  18. Madden NFL, a multi-million-dollar-budget title.
  19. Bugs resolved. Cams got an internal testing version, package it properly, then the balls back in his court.
  20. ...these guys are waiting on me at this point, need to resolve some bugs that popped up during port of some code to Windows. Having just been through the Easter holiday I've been working -a lot-, sometimes left quite drained, other days I can't sleep when I get home. In any case, Gizmo doesn't come close to making me a living, so real job gets total priority. We're down to final few days now. Work will probably quieten down for a little, and I'm getting more used to the workload, which leaves more energy at the end of the day. All things on converging path. Thanks everyone for the patience.
  21. Number 1 sensible CatsTube comment: "What song is that?????????"
