I'm happy to announce that the community has successfully financed Milestone #6 of the Feature Bounty System.

Since the August FBS update, more work has gone into the Order New Aircraft UI. The last image of the Order New Aircraft table was slightly incorrect, as it was mixing some UI from the UI demos I showed off in AeroMogul Update #5. I fixed that issue, and then begin to w...

We raised $741.81 in July. $658.95 came from Patreon, $82.86 from PayPal. That brings our total to $1,533.09 toward our $2,500 goal for Milestone #6. Remember, we’ll also have an additional bonus $500 from the failed artwork in ...
Greetings everyone! I wrote this 2 days ago, but keep forgetting to post it!
I have been able to return to working on AeroMogul after the launch of the latest GC and GC:2G updates. I resumed updating the existing UI elements to get them into a more releasable state. As mentioned before, I ...

Greetings, everyone,
This month’s FBS update is free for non-contributors to access, so I don’t need to make multiple news posts. We’ll return to our normal contributor-only FBS posts after this one.

As mentioned in the previous update, I will be moving servers soon. Most of the old server has been backed up on the new server, but I have not started up services on the new server. I plan on doing that this evening (Sunday May 4th, Eastern US time.)

First a small notice. Recently my server host raised prices by nearly 200%. So, I'll be looking for a new server host in the coming weeks. Then I will migrate over operations. This may cause some headaches with things like email deliverability, depending on the host I c...
Greetings Everyone,
Two more months left to focus purely on AeroMogul. Let's look over what I've done since the last update.

2025-04-04 15:26:39 +0000 UTC View PostA small refresher: AeroMogul is made up of two parts—the "Logic Server/Engine" and the "Client." The Client consists of the GUI and 3D elements. It’s what you interact with. The "Logic Server" or "Logic Engine" handles everything that happens in the background, including AI, calculations, dat...

This month's update is a bit late because it's tax season for me. And as you can imagine, my taxes are a bit nightmarish and due a month before most other people because all the local/state taxes due on the 1st require my federal tax data. Oh well. There isn't too much p...
2025-03-06 20:22:08 +0000 UTC View PostFinally another AeroMogul update. It's amazing the amount of progress that can be made when I'm not touching GearCity all the time.
As mentioned last time, I'm in the process of going through the existing code, cleaning it up, fixing bugs and edge cases, and expanding functionality of the ...

I took a week off to clean my house. To call it a pig sty would be an insult to pigs. I'll probably take the next week off to work on the outside. There is a chance folks walking on my staircase might fall through.
