X-Plane 8.50 enters beta phase

The title pretty much says it all really! Austin has started public testing on X-Plane 8.50 Beta 1. You can download it in the usual manner. You will need to delete your 8.40 preferences files to have 8.50 work correctly (which means setting everything up again), however it seems to be quite a few nice changes.

Update: As always, as soon as I publish this, Beta 2 is now out :)

Flight Strip holders wanted

After having no luck finding any of these, I’m throwing this question out for anyone in the world that might be able to help me. I’m looking for around 20 flight strip holders used in ATC tower operations world-wide.

These holders obviously hold flight strips, and are used as seen in this photo. They are holding the tan, red and blue strips. If anyone can get a hold of these, please contact me.

Archives are good!

I was going through a backup folder today, and found some Microsoft Plus! Themes that I composed waaaay back in 1997 :). One of these themes is based on content from the movie The Rock, the other based on the TV show LAPD. After a quick extraction, everything looks fine so I’ve decided to put them online again for people to download and use.
