We have the great pleasure of announcing that we will have live tracking from the UK Sailplane Grand Prix at Lasham this week.

A new version of Silent Wings has been released, the new version contains updates to both the simulator and the viewer application.

We have updated the Screenshots & Movies page with a few new movies and a link to a lot of new screenshots.

Movies are now embedded in the web page with an optional download link for local viewing.

A small update to the 1.07 version of Silent Wings has been released. The main change in this version is that we now distribute the Simulator and Viewer in one package. This enables sharing of aircraft and scenery files between Simulator and Viewer.

This is also the first release of the viewer under OSX, and the viewer itself has gotten a lot of updates.

Other than that, we have made quite a few bug fixes in the simulator, especially related to joysticks on OSX and linux. You should now be able to use the CH pedals, and there is no need to calibrate the joystick by moving it in circles before starting.

We have also fixed some issues related to slow startup of the GUI, especially on windows.

The Silent Wings Viewer is now also released for Mac. Go to the download page to get it. Thanks to all our beta testers on our forums!

Our main web server was unfortunately down this weekend (march 15. and 16.). We were just supposed to move the server from one place to another, but due to a lot of unfortunate coincidences this led to this a extended downtime.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused by this. Everything is now on it's way back up, but it may take a couple of hours before everything is fully functional again.
