It’s a great way to familiarize yourself with the project. I’ve always been telling newcomers to start improving existing features. I could have never guessed I would still be working on the 744, three years after I started! Starting something new is easy, completing it is much harder. Q: What advice can you give to new developers who want to get started on their first aircraft/new feature/Nasal script? I would really like to bring the 744 to a state where a real pilot cannot spot a thing that is missing in the simulation. Q: What do you plan on doing in the future? Over the years I’ve been spending way too litle time on the actual flying. Most of that time is taken up by non-development stuff, like the forum, wiki and livery database.

Now that I’m studying I have less free time, but still several hours a day on average.

Until this year I spent roughly 4 to 5 hours a day on FlightGear related things. Q: On average, how much time do you spend working with/contributing to FlightGear? Both can be considered as never finished there are always things to add/improve. My main development projects right now are the Boeing 747-400 and Dutch scenery. Q: What project(s) are you working on right now? However, there are three key parts that I particularly enjoy being the development of scenery and aircraft and helping others by writing wiki articles and replying to questions at the forum. Therefore I have a very long list of interests. One of the things I like about FlightGear is the wide range of things one can get involved with: modelling, texturing, writing manuals, collecting data etc. Q: What are your major interests in FlightGear? If you have a chance to do such a flight, I’d defenitely encourage you to do so. Before starting this study my only connection with aviation (other than traveling) was a one hour flyinglesson in a twinprop, I got for my birthday. So far I really like this mix of hobby and study. Since two months I’m studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Delft. Q: Do you have real world connections with aviation or IT? Sadly the guy that introduced me to FlightGear and gave me a hobby that would last up till today, passed away in 2009. I took some effort, but I finally managed to place buildings myself. Georg (Heliflyer) placed my first buildings.

In one of my first posts on the FlightGear forum I asked for someone to place my models into FlightGear’s scenery. While modelling Schiphol, I stumbled across this free flight sim, called FlightGear, that wasn’t a game, unlike Google’s. Amsterdam would be the first airport to be modelled especially for that, that was my plan at least… By then, Google Earth had a (simple) built-in flight simulator. After modelling several buildings in my home town, Amsterdam (and placing them in Google Earth) I started working on Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. One year earlier I was one of the first users of Google SketchUp, free 3D modelling software.

The procurement request to OMEGA even specifically mentioned that bands not be supplied.Q: How long have you been involved in FlightGear? What was it that made you join?Īccording to the forum software I joined all the way back in July 2007. Neither company were making long watchbands for use with a spacesuit at the time, nor do I believe were they asked to supply any subsequently. Then, in 1964 when NASA selected the Omega Speedmaster chronograph, this was at first unknown to OMEGA Watch Co., and American Velcro Inc. Originally for the Mercury program no single watch was identified as the approved time-piece and for whatever watch was worn a simple adjustable metal bracelet worn over the pressure suit sleeve was sufficient.

and American Velcro Inc.) have in making the real straps? In-house production But to what extent did the companies most associated with the straps (Omega Watch Co. One can read a lot of thoughts on watch forums about the provenance of 'NASA Velcro' watchbands for the Omega Speedmaster, and many assume genuine OMEGA supplied ones were used on the U.S. Who made the original NASA Velcro watch bands?
