I have been working on a webpage for a while. Now it is published. Still lots of things to fill in there, but will do some work now and then. Not the easiest task to make a webpage about the simulator, Since I have been building on it for three years now.

Will be updated now and then.

Nice Ivar,

Fantastic Job as usual.  I love the pictures on your front page, and the Media is incredible.  I am sure it took a lot of time to put all that together.  Many people are going to benefit from your hard work.

Thanks for posting this.

I am glad you like the page. Big thanks to Trevor and Bob, which have helped me with some struggles.

The page will be updated. But not so fun to make articles about things done long time ago, lol. Will do it anyway.

Thank you very much guys. I am very glad that you like the page. I am still very busy with writing articles and updating the page. Many elements will be added shortly.

If there is anything that you are missing on the page, please notify me, and I will do what I can  :)

And specially if you have a link to your own webpage, I would be happy to put it in my links listing.

I see we have a few things in common ivar!

Joomla works a treat doesn't it and I see you've got a talent with Inventor too.

But my site is down and i'm stuck to drawing sheds at work haha :( which i'm supposed to be doing right now :P

Yeah, I like Joomla very much. Took some time to learn and get used to it, but going much better now :) Still lots to learn, but at least I can publish some stuff now.

I am not so talented with inventor really ;) Slowly learning there also.

Guess I am a typical simbuilder. We have to learn some of everything ;D
You using Inventor at work?

Makes a really proffessional site with ease, I love it.
I'll have to get mine back online I think!

I got to say that seat is a piece of art work. And to be self tought it's a really good effort!

Yeah im using it at a metal workshop, just sketching up shop drawings.
Gets a bit boring drawing the same stuff though lol :P

Still a t of work to do on the seat. Long time project I guess. It has been a sleeping project for two months now, lol. Motivation will come back soon enough.

Bet you want to design some sim-parts instead of the regular things at work ;D

There was some issues with the site yesterday, and I have repaired the database. Please let me know if there is any more or other issues. I have noticed that the page is slow sometimes. I think it is because of the currency converter. I like that feature, but will remove if it makes the page slow.


Thank you for your comments Ian :)
Much appreciated from a talented and helpsome man like you.

Some of the content I have written is a little "rough" with more pictures than words. But will update when I think there is something to add. Hopefully the article title will show in green when I have been there and edited anything.

:)

Slow...  Slow... LOL  If I am not mistaken it runs faster then this site does LOL.  I am hoping when we do the server hardware upgrade that helps a bunch..

Ivar, rough or not..  The information you have on that site is top notch and we can all benefit from anything you offer.

The site was also very slow at a point today. So I had to repair and optimize the database again. But now it is OK again. I am trying to figure out what is causing the issue, but no success yet, lol.

Glad you like the webpage :)

Great site Ivar.
I am new to this building lark and having just purchased my first bits of timber, I logged on to find the link to your site. Awesome site and cockpit mate. There is so much that I need to learn and you have explained many things that I and other builders like me need to know. Keep up the good work and I look forward to any updates.
