Flight Gear

Flight Gear

Flight Gear is a FREE flight simulator compatible with virtually any operating system including Windows, Mac and Linux - with several unique features and options that may be quite different than you're used to in a simulation application.

You'll fine a wide variety of aircraft from the Wright Brothers' first airplane to modern military jets and navigate using any major brand joystick or your mouse as a yoke. In addition, you can download the whole planet or squares off the website.

You can program your own graphics, create airports, new aircraft and reprogram flight controls and response to suit your preferences. The graphics limited only by your imagination.

The
FlightGear website abounds with links and tutorials. Easy to use interface provides your options onscreen so you don't have to search through menus. As the pilot, you can control the weather and integrate real world weather conditions. You can even shadow yourself in a chase plane that banks with your own, dodge AI traffic or enjoy multiplayer action over your network.

Graphics are very close in quality to its competitor's and the performance is superb, faithful to the developers' stated intention that eye candy should not compromise performance. Therefore FlightGear graphics aren't quite as glitzy as the competition but the performance gain more than makes up for it; flights are smooth with no hesitation and there's even a landable aircraft carrier off the California coast.

There are a few minor weaknesses such as ground handling and less than perfect audio feedback. The simulator doesn't have collision detection so you might land just fine on water without pontoons!

All in all, FlightGear packs in a lot of extras you'll not find in other simulators and since development is ongoing there's usually something new to enhance this one-of-a-kind experience.

Pencil is not intended to mimick web-oriented vector-based animation software such as flash. Its main purpose is to make traditional animation. Neither does it try to rival commercial software targetting the professional animation sector. Pencil is intended to be a simple program enabling anyone to make 2D animation.

Delicious Library 2

Delicious Library 2


Delicious Library 2 is my latest Mac purchace.

First thing first... What is
Delicious Library 2?

Well it’s a application that lets you catalogue all your book’s, dvd’s, gadget’s etc.
In fact you can use
Delicious Library 2 to keep tabs on anything you want, and if it has a barcode it’s even easier as Delicious Library 2 will use your iSight camera to scan the barcode and search the web for all the information about you dvd....

You can create smart shelves, to auto add stuff by selecting certain criteria, much like smart folders in Mail.

I would recommend you download the trial version and give it a go, you are however limited to 25 items in your library until you purchase the full version at $40.

It’s just so easy to enter all your stuff into.
After a few minutes trying to figure out the best way to hold my DVD’s so
Delicious Library 2 could use my iSight camera to scan the barcodes on my DVD case I was flying through my whole collection, and then onto my book’s........

It also has some very nice options for publishing your library online..

Check out my library published to .Mac
HERE

Just one of the options available for publishing your library to the web...
