Secondlife - It's all about skins and clothes, apparently! So, not wanting to miss out on all the fun of creating a skin, I've recently been using the most excellent (and entirely free) open source programs Blender, GIMP and Inkscape to try my hand at skin creation.

I've removed the old 1.9.0 .debs of FlightGear, as they've now been superseded by the release of FlightGear version 2.0

You may be interested in the download & compile script that's available to automatically download and compile the latest version of FlightGear, as it worked nicely for me.

If the link above doesn't work for you, then you can also try here.

If all else fails, join the FlightGear IRC channel and ask for the download_and_compile.sh script. Someone there will be likely to provide it to you.

Another update to show the latest building progress to the cottage, on my OpenSim server :)

I'm slowly but surely making some progress in building a little cottage in one of the sims of my OpenSim server.

Here's a few early screen shots taken during the building process.

The project I have been working on recently in our OpenSim, has been a recreation of a technology building from a real life school.

Luckily my poor little brain wasn't too taxed on this to start with due to the blueprints we obtained and various photo's taken at the site.

The main shell has been up for sometime and now coming back to this project I have started building the interior starting with the hallway, most of which was fun to do, and once the lower hallway was complete, you get an amazing sense of satisfaction from seeing the similarities between your build and the picture of the real life version.
