• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

And now for something completely different!
Have a look at GPDS_UD.zip that has just been released by Carl Reddin.
This download is a combination of a donationware & a freeware release from the now missing Pendercrafts website, and a totally new update, more or less based on the "Lost in Space' TV series.

The scenery simulates a space flight environment within FS2004, and consists of a 180 kilometer fiameter spherical flight are, displaying a star field texture, floating & moving astroids, space stations & ships. All you need is a suitable spaceship.

An ideal space craft will be the Jupiter2 model by Ronnie Pendergraft, (jup2MGEvc), that was originally on the Pendercrafts website, that no longer exists, BUT the 'wayback machine' will take you to http://web.archive.org/web/20150415012206/http:/www.pendercrafts.com/fs2004dl.htm & look for the VTOL upgrade (goddard.zip). Without this, the Flights within the download will not work.

Have fun, Carl has done an amazing job & this is really something unique for FS2004, & I have actually created a separate Space install for myself.

Regards,
Robin
