Hmm, I was already aware of it, long ago... That's why I jumped into P3D...

 

Austin is also now one of the members of both ED and LM and is working hard on the new Cirrus model for DCS World, as well as to porting "cars on roads at night plus traffic jams" into that simming platform.

 

At the same time ED is about to announce a complete shift of their focus to the OSVS platform - Ocean  and Seas Vehicle Simulator - and will concentrate mainly on the simulation of recreational sea activities, including their ultra-realistic "Surf" module, using LR's advanced BET approach to model every part of board and human riding it, including all interactions with the Earth elements coming into play.

 

PMDG is secretly working on a "shark" module for the new OSVS platform.

 

The future of flight simulation is going to sink into the Oceans!!! Whow!

I can go on a date

I can eat a date

I can date a document

 

Or I can note today's date and think of fools :-)

LM has lost most of its defense contracts and top management announced its withdrawal from flight training simulations. LR is taking over its P3D division as of May 1st, 2013...

 

Happy Fools' Day to all!
