Happy New Year everyone and a happy new decade.

I thought this would be a good time to make a New Year's resolution. I am going to post more this year and update my site. I might also make some video posts instead of just the regular text posts.

Also, stay tuned for a site redesign. Hopefully I will be able to make The S Site have a much nicer, cleaner feel to it. Feel free to make suggestions in the comments section for this post.

So that's all I had to say. Once again Happy New Year and I'll talk to you soon.

It's New Year's eve and I thought it would be a good time to make some predictions for the year to come, it seems everyone else is, so here we go.

1. Apple and Google's relationship will deteriorate; Google has released products and is planning to release products that will compete with Apple's products. I also see Google getting into the music business in the future, which will not be good for Apple.
2. There will be a major internet scare in privacy; more and more of people's information is being stored on the internet and that increases security risks. No one can guarantee complete security online, someone will find a way to hack into it, it's just a matter of time. After all, as they say, "If you're looking for security on the internet you're looking in the wrong place."
3. The Apple Tablet will be released; there has already been so much hype about it, so I think it does really exist. It will run a stripped down version of OS X, but will have more of an iPhone feel to a Mac feel and it won't have a stylus, because that's just not cool. :D
4. Optical media will become obsolete; With the internet offering us so much media we won't need things like CDs or DVDs, or Blu-rays.
5. Google Chrome will pass Firefox in popularity; Chrome is a very fast and sleek web browser. It has already overtaken Safari (or so I have heard) and with the release of Linux and Mac OS versions it is sure to increase in popularity even more.

Well, here I go with my first review.

The Air Canada Jazz DeHavilland Dash-8 is a quality freeware addon for Flight Simulator X. It features a very realistic model with animated parts, a fully functional virtual cockpit, inside and outside lighting and a fully functional autopilot. This package comes with four Air Canada Jazz liveries, but if you don't like any of them there are other repaints available.

In these two images I was using the Olympic Airlines livery.

To get this aircraft:

1. Go to FlightSim.com
2. In the file name box type "d81jaz4x.zip" for the aircraft, or "oa_text-1.zip" for the Olympic livery
3. Download the file
4. Follow the instructions in the Readme of the file

I hope this was useful and I hope you enjoy the addon.

Oh dear, it seems that I haven't been posting for a while. Oh well, on with today's post.

I love avation, I love flying, I don't know why, I just do.

I've been using Microsoft Flight Simulator X for years now and I really enjoy using it. It is probably one of the best flight simulators out there and, unlike other Microsoft products, it is open to third party developers to make addons for, like aircraft and scenery.

So my idea was that I would write a review of some of these addons (mainly freeware addons) so that any aviation enthousiasts out there can find out what addons are good and which ones to stay away from.

I am really looking forward to starting this, but I won't be able to post every day but I will try my best to post on the weekend.
