Flight Sim twin Fairfield patches for FScene (FSX)ree

Two airfield patches from FScene (FSX).

Promising more "as real as it gets" joy for your flights during the Holiday Season.

On approach many airfields in FSX really disturb the feeling of realism becasue of the 'sandy appearance' of the areas around the runways. In some cases even the runways themselves look like strips of beach that are totally out of place.

So, listening to the request of an enthuastic fan in the forum, Ruud Faber - designer of the FScene ground textures - set himself to adapt the colors of all related ground textures to the FScene palet.

As a result you can download 2 free patches at http://www.fscene.com/info-on-patches.html. One for the runways and one for the airfield grounds.

They actually increase the challenge of navigating to (and spotting) the airfields.

Just as in real life.

New graphics chip for PSP from Apple iPhone company?

Word on the street is that Imagination Technologies Group, licensee of graphics processor cores, has added Sony to its tally of international electronics systems company licensees.
Imagination announced November 24th that it has signed a license agreement with a new partner, a major international consumer electronics company, for a forthcoming member of Imagination's POWERVR SGX graphics processor family.

There were no names and no values ascribed to the licensing but the hint that it is materially insignificant. As a publicly held company Imagination is under pressure to disclose events of material significance via one or more of the many regulatory news services.

According to sources today's announcement by Imagination is for an upgrade to the Sony PSP2 and the SGX core is expected to be the SGX55x.

In its press release Imagination said that it expects that this agreement will extend the reach of its PowerVR architecture into "another high-volume consumer device segment."

Imagination said in September that it had concluded a multi-year, multi-use license agreement with an international electronics systems company. Imagination did not name the company or indicate how much money the deal might be worth. We speculated that deal might be with Apple.

Imagination's PowerVR MBX is already designed into the Apple iPhone (see iPhone code trail points to MBX graphics core, published July 2007). This could indicate that Imagination has followed a line possibly taken by another IP licensor, ARM Holdings plc, and granted a broad IP license to allow Apple to design with its cores.

PlayStation 3 2.53 upgrade adds full screen Flash support


While there's little reason to jump about the living room, wailing in uncontrolled joy at the arrival of the latest PlayStation 3 console update, there are at least a couple of noteworthy additions that might warrant a small smirk.

Power Save Settings has been added as an option under Settings. To save power, the PS3 system and wireless controllers can be set to turn off automatically after a certain period of inactivity.
Under Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings, the method for reconnecting Bluetooth devices has been changed.
