Winding down 2020
0 on Winding down 2020

Winding down 2020 As the “year of doom” slowly winds down, it is time to reflect on the past few months and give some outlook of what’s to come in 2021. No matter how discouraging and difficult 2020 has been for most of us, the flightsim community truly has reason to celebrate. With the advent of Microsoft Flight Simulator, we witnessed an incredible jump in available technology that will keep our shared Hobby up-to-date for many years to come. Despite its flaws, the new sim certainly raised the bar of […]

Presenting: The Wing42 Blériot XI
0 on Presenting: The Wing42 Blériot XI

The Wing42 Blériot XI There’s been a slight change of plans that took shape over the past couple of weeks. Due to some technical issues regarding the Lockheed Vega for MSFS, another project of mine became the center of attention and is now only hours away from completion. I started working on a Blériot XI all the way back in …. I can’t even tell how long ago – but it’s been years. It was a project I worked on on the side and for FSX back in the days. […]

Wing42 for MSFS
0 on Wing42 for MSFS

Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s time for us to have a little chat about our plans for the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator. Initially, I was very skeptical when Microsoft announced their comeback to the flight simulator world back in June 2019. This skepticism was based on the bad experience we had with the failed Flight and Microsoft’s subsequent and complete withdrawal from the market. As I am writing this, all of my initial negativity is utterly blown away and before we get into the actual topic of this blog post, I […]

Dev Blog 10 – server upgrades
0 on Dev Blog 10 – server upgrades

Goooooooood evening! It’s been way too long since I posted here and so many things have happened in the meantime. So where should we start?! Server issues A couple of days ago, we had some issues with the database, which holds the data for the online shop as well as the forum. After some back and forth and careful consideration, we decided to restore a backup of the database from a few days prior to the issues. As a result there might be some forum entries missing right now, but […]

Dev Blog 9 – Audio Crisis
0 on Dev Blog 9 – Audio Crisis

As you all know, sound is a primary key to creating an immersive experience. The Wing42 Lockheed Vega 5 is still lacking this level of immersion and it has always been one of my sore spots. By-passing my to-do list for the next version, I sat down and put some serious time into the development of our own sound engine. In this article I want to outline the various pitfalls of this round of development and also what you can expect in terms of sound. First of let me clarify […]

Lockheed Vega 5 sales figures and shout-outs
0 on Lockheed Vega 5 sales figures and shout-outs

Good afternoon! Before starting the Wing42 venture, I felt it was prudent to conduct some market research in order to get an estimate of the market size and expected sales figures for flightsim add-ons. This is an important step for anyone who wants to sell any product, since you can use the numbers in the cost-analysis to find a sales price that makes the business sustainable. Well… turns out it is really difficult to find some indicative numbers, other than very broad figures like total number of FSXSE sales (around […]

Developer’s Blog 8 – High school physics
0 on Developer’s Blog 8 – High school physics

Only once did I fail a physics exam in high school. And when I say fail, I mean that I got my butt handed to me, sprinkled with disappointed and shame. Zero points. ZERO points! I didn’t even get a pity point for spelling my name correctly. The dreadful topic was: heat. Why am I telling you this? Because I am currently implementing all these high school physics’ formulas I should’ve known 20 years ago into the Vega’s system simulation. Those of you who bought the aircraft in Early Access […]
