I decided to make this repaint for the payware iFly Jets B737-600. Don’t ask me why, i woke up one day and did it. It’s FSX only (can’t test on FS9 – I don’t use it), so people using the old ’09 will have to either upgrade or just look at it. This also includes PMDG lovers Sorry, but overall, iFly’s 737 is just funnier to fly and i really don’t have time to convert it.

A few more screenshots were added in the Flight Simulator section. Also, the first article in our series is nearly completed and should be Online soon. The article’s theme?   “Why should you stop using FS2004 and switch to FSX right away”. Hot stuff, stay tuned

Yeah, that’s right… Another old passion of mine made it to this humble website. There is a new menu in which you can select a few options related to Flight Simulator. For now there is a screenshots page and a reviews page, i hope to be able to add more stuff soon. Have fun!

ATI Has released a few days ago their new Catalyst version. Grab them from their website here.

Two more pictures added to the “Animals” gallery. One is not really what you call an animal, but you get the point

ATI has released a new set of drivers for their video cards. As with the previous post, you can grab them from their site HERE.

i have written a small article in the Vespa section (see menu in the top right), describing some issues i have encountered while replacing the turn signal indicators on my Vespa scooter. This might be helpful for some of you, as it is becoming more and more common to replace your old filament bulbs with nicer, brighter and long-lasting LED bulbs.

Always take care to choose the correct LED replacement bulb, observing the quantity of light it produces. NEVER replace with LEDs that won’t light as much as your old bulbs – Security always comes first.

Happy ridings!

I have added a new ‘Vespa’ page, dedicated to this wonderful scooter that appeared back in 1946.
