Were really sorry that we broke the new record in staying silent by not publishing any updates in about 9 freaking months. :-[

This needs to change, of course.
But we use the old mantra, if you have nothing useful to say, keep your mouth shut!
Not the best advice in this business, we know.

Anyway, a summary of 2019 this far is that most time have been spent on fixing the migration to the new RegNow site and struggling with a new key generator that works with their system.
No fun at all. >:(

Next, a crash course in some HTML to fix all freaking scrolling flash animated text windows.
As soon as you changed anything in the code stuff got distorted while uploading it to HostGator. Only way was to use FTP. Even images got distorted during upload.
No fun at all. >:( >:(

Apart from that, the new and hopefully last big 3D makeover is the FSS/RSS structures. The RSS is merely a stub right now but the FSS only lacks some details.
FUN!  ;D

Screenshots follow below. Better see for yourself.

We end this year by wishing all old users, who are getting VERY old by now ;D, and all new users a really HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-* :-*

Lets hope for a more productive 2020 and less struggle with migrations and stuff like that!

Here we see the MLP and the FSS. The crew access arm and the GOX vent arm is now in the correct position.

The external tank umbilical is there

This is a little bonus and a work in progress. Looks quite good, but its hard to fix a really good bumpmap to use

Finally, animated ocean surface. Well, you must take my words about the animation thing, but it looks much better then the earlier scroll animation
