The main character of those closing ceremonies, the dancer dressed as ``the Golden Traveller``, was a metaphor for the two identical golden records onboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes. They contain images from Earth, a variety of natural sounds, musical selections and spoken greetings from Earth-people and scientific data. The instruments on both probes taught us much about our solar system and about interstellar space. But their messages about us are more meaningful according to me. The Voyager Space Probes were first imagined in the concept of JPL`s Grand Tour Program in 1964, 60 years ago. The breakdancer wearing the costume of ``The Golden Traveller`` conceived the whole closing ceremony as much as the dance of the planets of the Solar System made those voyages possible. bc

Yes that the one. Considering FSX was launched in 2006; and that It took a couple of years to develop it; it`s quite impressive how much fun can be had with it; after all these years.

yeah... the VC is quite the thing; sounds too, a couple of gauges in there are new to me... my shift+1 (his state switch) gives me issues on my setup. My workaround is just to click close it and it's in flight mode. It's no big deal. I've always liked the F27 and freeware in general. A lot of work went into this one and it is definitely one of the great models in the history of this hobby. It flies easy on my 8 year old low end PC.

There`s a lovely F27 in Avsim`s library (and elsewhere). It`s from Benoit Gaurant who`s a very generous and talented creator from France. I loved his Nordatlas work in FS2004. This is V.1. It`s free and a whole lotta work went into it. It's gonna need repaints. Many of 'em. Me, I've got no concept of how he does it, but I sure do enjoy his work!! Thankyou Mr. Gaurant. There are so many big things wrong with our world. The little things like this do it for me.

Il s'agit d'une arnaque.

It's at classicwings.net.

If the future of this hobby is not about you Stephen then you shouldn't fault others for not wanting to make it about themselves. I'm as out of this now as you were from the get-go. bc

That`s interesting. I still have some doubts about Flight`s business model and it looks like Dovetail is taking SE in that direction. Flight was a good sim. Perhaps it`s distribution method was just a bit ahead of it`s time for FS`s market. Maybe a couple of years have made a difference. If more payware developpers such as ORBXpartner with FSXSE I can see it happening. FSXSE would simplify their marketing and distribution. However as FSXSE becomes mainstream, I kinda fear that freeware, which had always been the heart and soul of this hobby, will be compromised. ben

Ouais il a beaucoup donné à ce passe-temps. Souvent, souvent je me disais... il va en avoir marre et tout planquer... mais il a persévéré. Heureusement pour nous. Quelle belle réussite! Nous lui en devons tous et toutes beaucoup. ben

Son fils Marc-Alexandre Dubé a communiqué à d'autres sites cette triste nouvelle hélas. Moi j'aimais bien ce qu'il faisait comme freeware. Voici la notice donnée sur d'autres sites: Benoît est décédé le 26 décembre 2014, à 19 h 05, à l'hôpital Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal. Il est mort dans la sérénité, entouré de sa femme, ses fils, ses frères et ses soeurs et d'autres membres de sa famille. ben

Vous êtes pas mal non-plus Aimé avec toutes vos créations si généreusement données! Il y a déjà quelques tweaks pour ce beta Viking, fort réussi au reste, sur SimOuthouse. Prévisiblement, il y aura aussi une floppée de livrées. Bon Vent Ben

par ici: http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.ca/ Le lien vers Google drive est un peu difficile à trouver; dans la rubrique du 9 Juin sur la page principale de Dino, Il faut cliquer sur le mot HERE dans la dernière phrase : If you have read everything, and promise to comply with the rules, you are welcome to download the aicraft by clicking HERE. Il s'agit d'un beta. Mais typiquement Dino fignole ses modèles longtemps après les avoir introduits. Celui-ci est donc prometteur. Et il bosse sur un Aermacchi MB.326 ainsi que ses dérivés!

60 Minutes avait fait des reportages similaires pour le B-1/b ainsi que les multi versions du V-22. Ben R. Rich qui avait succédé à Kelly Johnson (chez Lockheed Skunkworks) déplorait dans ses mémoires (en 1994) que le dernier 10% de fine pointe technologique dans ce secteur engloutirait 40% des coûts. Faute de F-35, au Canada, on va donc upgrader des CF-18 pour une fraction des coûts.
