Not much time to post, but here goes...

If you are an rFactor2 fan like I am, and have an interest in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, GOOD NEWS!!!  Both the oval and the roadcourse are possibly coming to the sim within the next 19-20 days, PLUS, there may be an added bonus.  I'm actually hoping for either an Indycar or NASCAR component or mod, but I don't want to get too excited.  It sure is going to be a good start to the summer though whatever it is.

FS2004/FSX and Prepar3D are still getting little of my time, but hope once again that will change soon.  I am however taking time to watch some of the glider action as it unfolds in the World Final Sailplane Grand Prix 2014 starting at the end of this week.  I'm excited about it because I will get an idea of how a real world competition is run.  I have plans to do an online/offline contest again simulating this event in FS2004/FSX, we'll see if I can follow through with that before the end of the year.

I had a somewhat major upgrade with my computer system, which is going to let me do some things that I've been wanting to do for many years.  I need to follow through with trying to publicize opentrack more, and now that I have the equipment and programs to do so, I really have no excuse not to (other than the time constraints I've got myself into lately).  opentrack really is a good platform to simulate being in the cockpit of your favorite aircraft or auto sim.

Hope to have more news in the coming months.
