Flight Sim & Train Sim Updated

Blog, News, ,

Flight SimRecently I was showing off Flight Sim on my LG Nexus Phone when I noticed that the map was not rendering correctly. I am not sure why this happened but it started happening after the 5.1.1 Android Update. So I decided to recompile Flight Sim with the newest version of Unity and the Android SDK to make sure it does not have any issues with the newest version of the Android operating system. From my personal tests it seemed to fix the issues.  There will be a larger update to Flight Sim hopefully within the next month as I am waiting for completion of a new airplane.

Train SimulatorAlso I am happy to report that Train Sim for Android was also updated to version 3.4.0. This is a minor update that fixes a potential crash with track switching and also a new 3D Regio Panter Cabin.  This leaves just a few more train cabins to convert to 3D.  After that I can focus on improving the Airport Scene and adding more Trains.

Google Play Can’t Download Game

Blog

I sometimes get emails about people complaining that they can’t download my games from Google Play.  What seems to happen is that the download starts but get’s interrupted with some kind of a bad data message.

Usually I am unable to help as the problem exists between the Google Play Store and the and user’s phone.  My games are hosted by Google not me.  Perhaps bad internet or some other Google caused error?

However recently I got an answer from a Flight Sim user (Evang) that figured out the issue.  It seems that if you buy a new phone or tablet and you try to download games before you updated your Google Play Store App, you may get this issue.  The issue can also occur if you let your Google Play Store App get to far behind the current version.

This makes sense as Google probably expects the user to keep its core apps up to date, especially because they involve the exchange of money and should be completely patched to prevent any security or performance issues.

So if you ever have issues downloading apps on your phone, update your Google Play Store App.

Website Down!

Blog, News

FailLooks like my website was down for a few days.  The issue was related to a WordPress update that for some reason deleted my default theme.  No error message no logs, just a blank page.  Thanks WordPress, what a major waste of time and inconvenience.

Thanks to 3 hours with a very patient Microsoft Azure support staff named Zoher we figured it out and the site is now back up.

Also thanks to Finley for first reporting that the site was down via email.

Focus on Train Sim

Blog, News

Train SimulatorI have been really focusing on Train Sim recently.  As promised my goal is to replace all 2D cabs with 3D interiors.  This work is over 50% complete.  On top of that I am improving many of the trains and cars that have been added when the game was originally created and did not receive the same attention to Train Sim Subwaydetail as the newer trains.  Scheduled for improvement are Dash 9, GE70t, TGM3 and TEP70 trains, with more to come.  Once I am happy with the quality of all the trains I want to focus on the Airport scene which is really small and needs a rework.  In between all that I hope to fit in some additional trains or alternative paint schemes for existing trains (i.e. Santa Fe)

Keep sending me your feedback and thanks for your support.
