Glog (Wing Log): August 2007
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2007. The site that's really gotten me going with music, classical guitar in particular, is called delcamp.net. See the forums here. After spending some time reading these forums, I'm excited about new practice ideas, new music to check out, et cetera. Also, there's lots of sheet music to download and print out for free, the ultimate guitar "add on". Gotta go print out some more music. Thursday, August 16, 2007. It's all about time (it always is). Sunday, August 12, 2007. Lilypond is a...

Glog (Wing Log): February 2008
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Holy Foliage, Batman! OK, ok, I haven't posted in a while, and the truth is I haven't flown in a long time either. But Sitemeter is telling me I still get a fair number of visitors each week, so I thought I'd pass along this little tidbit. Did you know there is a company.

Glog (Wing Log): December 2007
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2007. FlightGear 1.0. released! OK, I haven't posted in a long while. The truth is, I haven't flightsimmed in weeks now. It's not just the guitar thing- I've been sick as well with a nasty head cold. However, I do read up on my favorite flightsim sites, and I was delighted to see that FlightGear has finally release version 1.0.0. I downloaded it tonight and it looks really nice. Go try it out.

Glog (Wing Log): June 2008
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Some random FS9 freeware planes, part 2. My only slight gripe about this plane is that there is no pilot visible in the spot view, so it looks a little weird from the outside. It is possible there is a keystroke which will populate the plane (I only skimmed the documentation), if there is I would say this one is just about perfect. Go ahead and look at the Wikipedia link, and you'll see these guys have modeled the hat very accurately! Friday, June 20, 2008. Now, I've been out of t...

Glog (Wing Log): Celebrating 100 posts
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/celebrating-100-posts.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. Ok, I admit I am dashing out a post mainly to push this blog past the 100-post mark. I don't have much new to say in this post, except to give quick mention to a couple of nice freeware FSX craft that I recently (i.e. last night) tried out. First, there is the Waterman Aerobile. Or ArrowBile (are they the same plane? I can't figure it out) which is available from rarewings.com. Next, we have a very nice Pietenpol Air Camper. So, on to the second 100 posts!

Glog (Wing Log): FlightGear Mini Review
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2007/05/flightgear-mini-review.html
Thursday, May 03, 2007. For a while I have known of an open source flight simulator, but until now I hesitated to give it a try. I finally gave into the itch to click the download link. Now I wish I had not waited so long. The simulator is called FlightGear, and you can get information about it and links to downloads here. Why should you consider FlightGear? It won't cost you anything beyond the inconvenience of a large download. 1 Fast, smooth performance (YMMV). 4 True sloped runways. 7 Quick start up.

Glog (Wing Log): May 2007
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Incredible Freeware Cessna 150. OK, call me a hypocrite if you like. After my little sermon on resisting the twin evils of tweak-itis and download-itis, I go ahead and recommend a scenery tweak, and now I'm going to recommend a download. But didn't I admit I was preaching to myself? To be honest, I have had trouble enjoying FS9 because the FSX default planes have spoiled me. Going back to the default the FS9 Cessnas is a real let down. I have better addons in FS9, but I a...Befor...

Glog (Wing Log): FlightGear 1.0 mini review
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2008/01/flightgear-10-mini-review.html
Thursday, January 03, 2008. FlightGear 1.0 mini review. Here's a few quick observations about the new official 1.0 release of FlightGear. If you're new to FlightGear you may wan't to read my review of version 0.9.10 here. First off, the visual experience isn't much different than version 0.9.10. There are some changes mentioned in the link above, but frankly I don't notice anything dramatic. The FG wizard (fgrun.exe) now has an option for scenarios. This makes it easy to set up situations such as...Versi...

Glog (Wing Log): Some random FS9 freeware planes part 1
http://simflyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/some-random-fs9-freeware-planes-part-1.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Some random FS9 freeware planes part 1. Now, I've been out of the loop for a little while, so I don't know how new these really are- they may be old news for most. Anyway, here's a couple for this post. I enjoyed flying this one quite a bit. It looks great on the outside, and I enjoy the visibility from the cockpit. The VC is usable, but not perfect. The textures are pretty coarse, and there are some gaps, as you can see in the image below. For a big chunky bipe you can't beat this...
