A lot of development over at OZx has to do with self indulgence of course but it is also for us Australians to show the world what an amazing country we live in and show everyone the best way that we can via FSX.

I have a new FS9 based Dash 7 that is FSX friendly awaiting textures and a few more details. Once we get this Puss Moth out the door, I will try to finish that up. Once done, I will certainly make the gmax source available.

It would be an honor for me to just try to bring it into FSX as a native model.

Maybe I can gather enough experience with exporting aircraft models until then to avoid a long and tedious trial and error approach. :icon_lol:

I see no reasons for worry, panic or complaint about the future of flight simulation as far as products goes. The main concern these days is growth. We're getting older on average. The median age of flight simmers is now just over 50 years and if you'd been in Paderborn recently, you'd even have been forgiven for thinking that it was a retired man's hobby. Silver hair and shiny scalps predominated.

We need to do a swift spot of PR to recruit new simmers. There are certainly a few very keen teenagers climbing aboard. They need encouraging so that they don't lose interest. And as for talent - there really are a quite a few new painters around of late. And they're getting good too. Some are even good enough to be making money out of their talents (McPhat, take a bow).

There are many younger people involved with Flight Simulator right now. Most of them are in the FSX Multiplayer rooms though. In general, the "older" group here doesn't seem interested in multiplayer at all. I am rather disappointed at that fact too... we could get an AMAZING server together if we tried.

So there are plenty of younger people simming, just in a different way that many people here have never experienced or choose not to experience for whatever reason.

Just my two cents! :running:

When I was just a wee simmer, I used to fly multiplayer a lot as well. I actually heard about avsim, simviation etc... via multiplayer rooms. People would be flying and chatting about the latest add-ons. I actually found this site after I asked someone where they got an OV-10 (Piglet's) that was the first add-on I installed. My first post here was about why the OV-10 was see-through lol (took sp2 to fix that for me).
 
Good point KiwiKat... There are some distinct groupings around indeed. The virtual airlines are probably the biggest (seen together). For some totally inexplicable reason, it looks like most simmers fly the commercial passenger planes :d or warplanes (in things like LOMAC).

I simply haven't MP'd on a long while because my favourite airfield no longer exists in FSX.
 
Hello, i haven't been on multilayer in a while, but i used to fly with guy's about 50. The session was called 'bella coola'. It is located in British Columbia in canada. Im 14 but i got on well with them. Chris, how are you getting on with the bumpmapping? Have you had a reply email from monster?

Hope everyone is well!
