Today I will start with rFactor2 beta.  It has now been out for about 5 months, but is coming along somewhat okay, I think.  Though, I do not see the actual rFactor2 out in the next month, as some are possibly expecting but that's a gimme, unless things really come together.  The graphics seem better now than at the beginning, but some effects may not be implemented yet.  If I were to guess why, I would say that those effects are either not working correctly enough, or maybe they work and ISI is waiting for the release to add them in.  Anyway, give the release a few more months I would say.

Kinda been letting myself down for the last months, as I haven't begun really flying again in FS2004/FSX since the last post.  So the Grand Prix de France '11 - FunFly/Contest was never finished, and the rest of my FunFly/Contest's were never completely updated as well.  On the bright side though, the SOAR site (International Virtual Soaring Society) is possibly going to be getting a new update to the SOAR Ranch (One of SOAR's main gliderports).  And other news, I may get the distinction of being an Acting Director of the site soon.  I've been helping out Don & Karen (the continuing Directors of SOAR) at the site for a while, and hope I can keep helping out for years to come.  I almost got to meet them in person this Spring, which would have been outstanding, but some complications got in the way, but am looking forward to next Spring/Summer for us to get together.

Well, gotta go, so until next month hopefully.  GOOD Racing & GREAT Soaring!
