iBlueYonder Now Tweeting

April 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Just a heads-up: I recently added Twitter “tweets” to my FS repertoire. If you’d like to follow me, visit the Twitter site, log in, and follow “bwomack”. I’ll try to make it worth your while.

What’s that? You don’t have a Twitter account? I won’t tell anyone. Just visit the site and set up your account today. You can just lurk if you like and follow me and others, but I’ll bet that after a while you won’t be able to resist joining in. It’s that fun.

RealAir’s Duke is Looking Good!

April 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I found a link on Sim-Outhouse the other day to some preview screenshots of RealAir’s upcoming Beechcraft Duke project. It’s from RealAir, so you know it’ll be one high-quality piece of work. The preview shots are absolutely stunning!

Here’s something else I find fascinating about them: somehow, through a wide variety of craft (Scout to Spitfire, and now to a Beech twin), their modeler Sean Moloney has managed to create a very distinct visual style that’s instantly identifiable as his. And this while also faithfully reproducing the real-world aircraft. He’s a rare talent, for sure. And we all know about the chops of the legendary Rob Young, their flight dynamics guru. Between the two of them, they’re a formidable team.

This should be a fun release.
