PTaylor's WebLog

Flight Sim discussions; mostly on the core platform ( graphics and terrain, platform team, sim engine, geo tools and geo data, international, internal tools, technical art ) plus news on releases and updates, and the occasional tweaks and tips.
On a positive note

Now that I have sullied the FSX blogosphere with the machinations from the comments on my blog, :-), how about something positive for the community?

The new FSInsider site, at http://www.fsinsider.com is a really nice update.

Yours truly now has his own spot on the site, but beyond that shameless plug - there are some good new articles and some valuable pointers to existing articles that I felt ere hard to find, specifically:

New:

Scenery update for SP1, here

SDK update for SP1, here

Oldy but a Goody:

On the Developers corner ( http://www.fsinsider.com/developers/Pages/default.aspx ) are links to Adam's great article on the terrain in FSX here, as well as Z's great article on the simulation engine here.

Congrats to the FSX Community team for pulling this together!

I hope you find these articles valuable and enjoy the new site!

Thanks for the updated site. Hopefully we can see SP1 and DX10 updates soon.  Will these updates cover SLI configurations too?

SP1 is going to be soon, but DX10 isnt until the fall.

We hope that the work to reduce the burden on the CPU helps enable better scaling and lets SLI have an impact.
