The InvestFourMore Black Friday sale is live! Unlike other stores and websites, I actually waited until Friday to have my Black Friday Sale. It did not start on Thanksgiving or even the day before. I also do not send Happy Thanksgiving emails, because I delete the thousand I get without looking at them. I also think it is crazy that I saw Christmas decorations before Halloween this year, but that is another story. My sale will is super easy, everything in my store is 60 percent off (except my Amazon books, which I cannot control sales on)! Just go to my store and use Friday60 as the coupon code. The sale is one day only.
How do my coaching programs work?
I have created multiple coaching programs to teach what I know about real estate investing and being a real estate agent. I know there are a lot of real estate programs out there, and I try to differentiated mine, by offering my own advice to your unique situation. In a couple of my programs I include coaching calls twice a month (you can ask questions, and they are all recorded, which you can listen to at any time), email coaching and:
- Video training
- Audio CDs or MP3s
- A list of items to do in order to get the best results
- Contacts for lenders, wholesalers, agents and more
- Deal analysis from me
It can be very tough buying your first property, or buying multiple properties. It can also be tough breaking into the sales business. I have worked hard to create a team of ten who sell houses and help my with my investing. I have 14 rentals now and 15 active flips! Below you will find those programs.
The Complete Blueprint will teach you everything you need to know about investing in rental properties and flipping. It will help you buy more properties and buy better properties.
InvestFourMore Real-Time Stats (as of 9/06/18)
16 flips currently in progress. 159 flips completed. 19 rentals properties.
Follow me to see how I make money in any market cycle. Join Free Now >
It comes with personal coaching, audio CD's and MP3's, coaching calls, a huge guide and much more including a money back guarantee.
The Six Figure System teaches real estate agents how to be the most successful agents they can be. Most agents do not last one year in the business, because they don't have the right training. This program helped two of my agents make over $100,000 in their first year.
This program also comes with coaching calls, email coaching, audio CD's, MP3's, goal setting sheets and a money back guarantee.
More coaching programs
I also have some programs I created that do not include coaching from me, but include a ton of information.
Fix and Flip Video Training Course
Complete video course on how to fix and flip houses in any market. Extensive videos that show how I flip 10 to 20 houses every year, while average over $30,000 in profit on each flip. Fix and flip training course. This is included in my Complete Blueprint Coaching program.
The REO and BPO Starter Kit will teach real estate agents how to list REOs and get BPO business.
The kit comes with a list of asset management companies and sample BPOs as well as much more.
If you see this post after Black Friday, send me an email I may still have some other promotions going, but they will not be as good. [email protected]

We Answer Wednesday - Christmas Tree Ideas for Small Spaces
"I really want a Christmas Tree but I'm in a small apartment. Any ideas how I can still have a tree without taking over my whole space?"
You can absolutely have a tree in your space - Christmas trees aren't just for large homes!
Depending on the size of your space and where you want to put your tree you may need to get a little creative but we have some ideas for you.
A smaller tree can still make a big impact! To make it look even larger without all the bulk try placing it on a stool. This image has a mini tree placed in a steel bucket (for a bit of a rustic feel) and propped up on a stool. this gives the tree height but the stool isn't big and full.
Photo from House Beautiful Magazine
Instead of a whole tree why not make use of some branches? They are easy to find this time of year and they are an affordable option. We love the simplicity of some evergreen branches in a glass vases, add some colourful decor and you are set.
Photo from Buzzfeed.com
This idea is nothing short of brilliant! This 'half tree' (aka Corner or Flat back Christmas trees) takes up half the space of a full Christmas tree but you can push it right up against the wall so it won't eat into your living space. Half the lights, half the decorations so half the work!
Photo from Treetopia Christmas Trees
Want the look of a gorgeous Christmas tree without all the work and mess? Try a hanging Christmas tree canvas. IKEA knows all about decorating and furnishing small spaces and they knew that the Christmas tree would also be a challenge - so they came up with this!
Photo from bricobistro.com
Have you heard of a pencil tree? These are tall and skinny trees, they are perfect for anyone short on extra space as they don't fill the room but they are full of holiday cheer.
Photo from martahome.com
Maybe you want something child friendly? This wall hanging felt tree is perfect for the little ones in your life. It's fun and festive and bonus - it's mess free! It's child height so even the little ones can participate in decorating too - perfect for parents, grandparents or aunts and uncles!
Photo from Etsy
The shape of a tree can be an inspiration, too! Use cards, twigs, photos, branches and even lights to create a beautiful wall art display in honour of the Christmas tree.
Photo from PSbyDila.com
Another fun and simple idea is the Christmas tree wall vinyl - this is so easy to put up and it won't cause nay damage to your walls. There are so many different designs you might find it challenging to pick one!

So I just heard that breast pumps are now covered by insurance (supposedly). Does anyone on here have Blue Shield of California as an insurer? If so – do you know how I go about getting a breast pump? I've heard some people say that they had to order from a special supplier but I can't find a list on the Blue Shield website. Any help would be appreciated! I tried to get someone live on the phone but it must be a busy day since I couldn't get through in the time I had to call.

Hubpages' First Interactive Short Story
Everybody's invited. Take part in Hubpages' first interactive short story. You may be able to save a man, or at least, a poor story.
8 August 2007, Monday, Cloudy
It was a lousy day. Mr. Bradley's CT scan showed multiple masses in his liver. These were reported as "likely metastases from a primary cancer." I explained to him that we needed to run further tests but the outlook was gloomy. He kept asking me whether this could be a mistake. I tried a few different ways to tell him that a mistake was extremely unlikely. He kept asking me why not. I wished I had more time but really had to go. I tried to end the discussion and said, "CT scans of malignant masses are rather easy to read. Mistaking this is almost impossible. I'm sorry that I really have to leave now." I found myself rising from the seat, escaping the look in his eyes and going for the door. I really hated myself and the unpleasantness of this bad news breaking. Mr. Bradley is a 38 years old accountant, married and has a young son. He doesn't drink or smoke and runs three times a week. He takes time to look after his health. It doesn't look like he has to do that for long.
10 August 2007, Wednesday, Cloudy
Mr Bradley's colonoscopy, gastroscopy and Chest X rays were negative. So were his blood tests. This is weird. Most often, by now we would have found out where the primary cancer is and formulated a management plan. I had to offer him further tests. He was calm but somewhat depressed. He told me he had sold his stocks and his home. As the markets had been very volatile, he thought cash would be a better asset for his family. His son had just turned thirteen and he showed me a picture taken at his son's birthday party. The young boy had his eyes and chin.
15 August 2007, Monday, Sunny
I didn't know what to feel. It was easier than I thought to tell Mr. Bradley that we had made a mistake with the diagnosis of his liver masses. Even though the shadows were very suggestive of secondary cancers, biopsy showed fatty liver changes. Multi-focal fatty liver changes are very uncommon but not unheard of. Somewhat embarrassed, I reminded him that we had qualified our previous diagnosis with descriptions including "likely" and "mistaking is almost impossible." Mr. Bradley was very glad that it was a mistake after all. He kept thanking me, shaking my hand and reassuring me that it was OK.
22 August 2007, Monday, Typhoon signal number 8 was hoisted
Candice, the patient relations officer, called and told me that there was an official complaint against the radiologist and me from Mr. Bradley. I found it sickening to have someone thanking me so zealously and filing a complaint against me days later. This afternoon, I had the chance to read the financial news and realize that the stock market has gone up by 15% over the past two weeks and is tipped to go up by another 15% before the end of the year. The same upward trend is also forecasted in the property market. I wonder whether this could have something to do with Mr. Bradley's complaint. I promised to submit an incident report within 5 days.
29 October 2007, Saturday, Rainy
Candice called again. Mr. Bradley had written to the hospital again, this time to withdraw his complaint. This was a pleasant surprise, but not quite good enough to cheer me up. I knew exactly why he dropped his complaint. While I wasn't looking, the local stock market had gone down by 25%, and the property market by 18% over the past 2 months and they're still falling, so had my savings in the form of these assets. Mr. Bradley was misled to a selling decision which had in saved him a fortune. I wish someone could have misled me to sell my stocks in August.
15 January 2008, Sunday, Cloudy
I met Mrs. Bradley at the hospital today. She told me her husband was admitted two days ago for severe acute hepatitis. He had been in coma for two days. His doctors suggested that he would only have days to live unless a right liver donor came along in time. Mr. Bradley no longer appeared fortunate to me.
22 January 2008, Sunday, Sunny
I met Mrs. Bradley again at the hospital today. The fairy of luck had again smiled at Mr. Bradley, at someone else's expense. A forty year old policeman was shot in the head during an arrest by his suspect yesterday. His liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and cornea were donated to a number of recipients. Mr. Bradley had his timely liver transplant yesterday. The operation went well. Nevertheless, he was still in coma. His doctor suggested he would wake up any time but he might not at all, as his liver function had been really bad just before he got his liver transplant. I comforted her and told her it was not uncommon for patients to take more time to wake up than usual after liver transplants. I didn't tell her that it was not common either. Mrs. Bradley thanked me but wouldn't stop crying.
I am all confused. Why should so much happen to one person within a span of couple of months. Will he make it?
23 January 2008, Monday, Cloudy
(Everybody's invited. Please take part in Hubpages' first interactive short story. You may be able to save a man, or at least, a poor story. Please leave me a comment and tell me what I should write from here on. I shall show you the ending of the story in 10 days or after 21 comments, whichever comes first.)

17 comments:
Such lovely news, Tracy - I'm so glad to see you back here, and that things have turned a corner for you. I always love to see your fabrics and yarns paired up, all ready for a new 'down', 'drove', 'flick' or 'husk' * of hares (* collective name, according to Wiki***ia!!) on your lovely blog. Have fun, and love to your Mum. Chris xReplyDelete
Hi ChrisReplyDelete
Thank you for popping by and thanks for your kind comment , I too am glad to be back here , I'm glad you enjoyed your visit .
Have a lovely weekend
with Kind regards Tracy x
Great to hear that things are getting back to normal. I have en enormous granny blanket in my head trying to get out. I can't get the yarn for it here in St Helena but soon we will be back in the land of the shop... xxReplyDelete
Hi Tracy, I read your blog & just wanted to pop by & comment on this post .... I broke my neck 10 years ago now & came out of the halo & then into the neck brace. I was supposed to have this on for 8 weeks & ended up in it for 20 weeks as my bones didn't mend either. I just wanted to ask you to tell your Mum to just be patient ... mine eventually took 18 months to properly mend but it did in the end !!!! The important thing is I am right as rain today. I wish I had;ve had someone to reassure me when I was going through it all ... it can be a long slow process. But do tell her to have faith - it will mend in the end. My specialist told me that some folks bones mend quickly & some just take quite awhile ... nothing to do but sit it out. Love your blog & all your creations. Take care Tracy & hugs to your Mum from me x0x0x Julie in New Zealand x0x0ReplyDelete
Glad to hear normality is returning. Your mum is amazing for keeping her spirits up and knuckling down to what has to be done. Moving home is a big decision. It's hard to be creative when life is so busy, so Me thinks you have inherited some of her grit and determination.ReplyDelete
S xx
It's great to hear your mum is making such good progress after her dreadful accident, she is indeed a fantastic lady to have coped so well with it all. No doubt having a loving and supportive family has helped her greatly. I'm pleased to hear that your creative mojo is back. Liz xReplyDelete
It was heartwarming to read that your Mum has had some improvement. Her outlook is amazing. She is a warrior. I can take a page from her book. I'm glad you're happily creating and content.ReplyDelete
So pleased to read your Mum's on the mend. Long may it continue and I hope the move into her new home goes well. Glad to see your Mojo is returning. Look forward to seeing your new makes, xReplyDelete
Glad your mum is getting better Tracey. Your makes are wonderful.ReplyDelete
Your mum is inspirational. Glad you're getting your mojo back. Those little angels have been watching over you. Jacqui xxReplyDelete
So glad your mum is getting stronger, the move sounds like the right one, I do hope it goes smoothly. She does indeed sound like an inspirational woman. She has my very best wishes. I love all the fabrics and yarn you've set out for your new hares, such beautiful colours, you have such a good eye for what will work well together. I hope you have a good week, CJ xxReplyDelete
Nice to see you back! Glad to hear your Mum is doing so well; a positive outlook is half the battle, and I'm sure she will be out of her neck brace before too long. We had a similar experience experience with my Dad when he had cancer a couple of years ago - he surprised and humbled us with his matter-of-fact outlook, refused to accept that this was anything except a new beginning and I can only hope that I have inherited some of his bravery xxReplyDelete
I am so glad to hear that your Mum is doing so well given all that happened to her and that she is recovering slowly but surely. Her outlook and attitude are amazing and will definitely help her recovery. Keep taking care of yourself. Lovely to hear from you - your angels are beautiful!! xxReplyDelete
So glad your Mum's feeling better! it is nice to see you are back in the making-mode!ReplyDelete
Jacqueline in Pitt Meadows
How nice to read that your mum is on the mend. Hopefully the warmer months will be a good time to recuperate. Love the colour combinations in your home work space.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear your Mum is doing so well and that life is getting back to normalReplyDelete
I am late in saying...but I too am so pleased that your Mum is doing better, and that you are able to reconnect with some of the creative pursuits you enjoy the most. My mom and Nana used to make rag rugs of wool long ago...precious memories. Your crocheted mats inspire me to want to make some! Thanks for posting, Tracy :) xxReplyDelete

Hey Debbie, ouch! I have actually been called obese before. well actually I saw it on my chart which was just as bad. I'm 5'2 and used to weigh 213lbs. I'm down to 160 but I know I am capable of packing them back on in no time. Especially because not only do ya crave the carbs but once they are on they don't want to go away. Let us know what your pcp says though.
Bab's I'm a coke a holic too. can't live without it. Thanks for the prayers I know I can always count on you! ((((((bab's))))).
Stacie, lol I hate skittles, but I love pudding. and I could try the fat free. They usually are pretty good. I thought about trying that keifer stuff but I'm not sure if that would help or not. I can eat some fruit but the veggies I have trouble with. I love raw vegies but I wear dentures and I need to get them refitted because my gums have shrunk and it hurts to eat hard food. Unfortunately my bank account says not this month and my insurance won't cover getting them adjusted. I'm probably the only person in te world that takes their teeth OUT to eat! lOL.
Hey Marji, When I first read your post I tried to invision a little debbie on steroids LOL I guess I read that wrong. LOL. Heck i'm up for sawdust if it works. Might be a little rough on the collon though. I've been craving a baked potato real bad but I don't have them around the house. Besides if I did I'd want butter sour cream bacon bits broccoli cheese ect ect ect. LOL. I know I'm gonna dream of food tonight.
Hey Gretchen , nice to meet ya. I've been away awhile. Things have been a little rough but for today I feel pretty good. Unfortunately the side effect is the screamin munchies.! I could invision you plowing people down to get to the fridge! LMBO. LOL that was too funny. but oh so true.
Well thanks again everyone. I'll sleep good tonight knowing your all out there on my side. I have a rheumy appt tomorrow. It's not until 300 oclock though. Hopfully he has some suggestion about what I can do. My lungs are so bad every extra pound makes it hard on my heart. So I really have to get a handle on this.

A difficult but pleasurable move in the bedroom. Few have attempted, and even fewer have succeeded. First, the man takes his position as the helipad...shaft up. Next, with a running start and a jumping forward twisting flip, the woman must land on the man and continue to spin. Common injuries include concussions and broken penis.
I totally tried the jumping helicopter move last night, missed the landing zone, and ended up spinning on the bedpost.

First Year Seminar: Eros through the Ages: Love and Lust in the Greco-Roman WorldSee on Course Listings
Classics 114 | Spring, 2018
From a cosmic god of love to a complex emotion, eros is a seminal concept shaping a range of mythological, literary, and artistic works of antiquity. Sappho described eros as "sweet-bitter," neatly capturing its paradoxical position at the intersection of pleasure and pain, love and hate. In this seminar, we will unpack the varied ways eros played out across poetry, philosophy, politics and art in the ancient Greek and Roman world and how these ancient definitions of love still inform our own modern understanding of the term.

BEAUMONT, Tex. — While Senator Barack Obama said he was keeping his focus on his Democratic rival, he said he would not "leave unanswered" the criticisms from Senator John McCain, the Republican front-runner.
"John McCain seems to be talking about me a lot," Mr. Obama told reporters as he flew through Texas on Thursday. "Obviously, I want to make very clear to voters in the Democratic primary that I am very confident about being able to make the case for why John McCain is looking backwards and we need to take this country forwards."
"To the extent that he's initiating this debate a little bit early – and maybe a little bit prematurely – that's something that we don't want to leave unanswered," he said.
In recent days, Mr. Obama has spent less time dwelling on his Democratic foe, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Asked if he was counting her out, he declared: "I am not. I am not. Remember New Hampshire?"
(While polls showed him with a huge lead in the Granite State, he lost to his fellow senator there.)
Mr. Obama pressed his economic message to Texas voters on Thursday in Austin and Beaumont. He was scheduled to attend an evening rally in Fort Worth. He said he was aware that he did not have the political landscape to himself.
"Senator Clinton is working tirelessly, as is Bill Clinton, in both Ohio and Texas," Mr. Obama said. "These races are extraordinarily tight and I want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to win these next two contests. That's how we've won in the past, is just focusing on what is in front of us."
In a statement, Mr. Obama responded more forcefully to the Republican criticism.
"Americans of all political persuasions are calling for change," Mr. Obama said. He added, "If I am the Democratic nominee, I will offer the clearest contrast to John McCain's call for four more years of George Bush's policies, because I want to fundamentally change our foreign policy to secure the American people and restore our standing in the world."

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Feb 2, 2012) - More than 900 hours of programming fill the agenda of the 84th Annual Western Veterinary Conference (WVC) being held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from February 19-23, 2012. Along with nearly 700 hours for Veterinarians, the Conference offers 80 additional hours especially for Veterinary Technicians and 68 hours dedicated to Practice Management. In just 5 days, attendees can accrue 45 CE credit hours and have a truly memorable experience. This year's program also includes more than 30 Hands-on Labs, 42 Symposia, 9 Workshops, 4 of which are free with Conference registration, 9 Lunch & Learn sessions, and a complimentary panel discussion for Veterinary Technicians who would like to become Specialists. Conference attendance is expected to reach nearly 15,000.
Held annually in Las Vegas, WVC is recognized as the top convention in the veterinary field, assembling first-class presenters from around the globe to focus on high-impact topics with immediate practical application. WVC President James E. Creed says, "You can be assured our outstanding WVC staff and dedicated Education Committee have spent most of the past year developing a 2012 program fitting for the world's premier veterinary conference."
Hands-on Labs are conducted at the Conference's state-of-the-art Oquendo Center located just minutes from Mandalay Bay. Equipped with today's most advanced technology and equipment, lab participants can master specific techniques with the help of concentrated personal instruction from experts in their specialties.
BRAND-NEW in 2012 is the Conference Orientation program on Sunday evening and Monday morning for first-timers and attendees who haven't been to WVC for a while, presented by Dr. Jim Humphries. Also NEW this year are a WVC Technology Help Desk for assistance in accessing WVC-Connect and the WiFi network and a complimentary early-morning Health & Fitness Program featuring Yoga, Jazzercise®, and Zumba® workouts on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Barnett's most popular bow just got an upgrade. Don't worry, the Raptor FX3 Pro still has all the features you've come to expect from the Raptor series (impressive speed, extensive safety measures and unparalleled performance), but it also has some new upgrades: a fully camo riser, premium aluminum rail, side mount quiver, and – most notably – an improved stock that's longer and more comfortable for full-framed shooters. The added stock length better fills out adult frames, but the Raptor FX3 Pro still retains its overall compact size and feel. The upgraded design also features premium material on the butt pad, cheek piece and pistol grip that make the crossbow feel more secure against your shoulder and more natural in your hands. We don't take adding "Pro" to a product name lightly. But when we took a bow with all the right stuff and made it even better, we knew the Raptor FX3 Pro was worthy.
Package includes a 4x32 multi-reticle scope, rope cocking device, side mount quiver and two 20" Headhunter arrows, and lubrication wax.

Abstract: Ariana Hall
Mentor: Dr. Mallory
[n]Phenacenes, or graphene ribbons, are molecules containing [n] aromatic rings fused in a zigzag pattern. Pseudo one-dimensional graphene ribbons are similar to pseudo two-dimensional graphene sheets, so they may have similar conductive properties; because of this, they could potentially be used as molecular-scale wires. The longest [n]phenacene synthesized by the Mallory group had eleven rings. This experiment will attempt to synthesize a [15]phenacene. Because longer [n]phenacenes are very insoluble, four solubilizing alkyl groups are also attached to the molecule.
The synthesis scheme involves a sequence of reactions, including Grignard, Horner-Emmons, bromination and photocyclization reactions.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG7 Hybrids
Category: Game-Improvement Hybrids
Price: $160
WE TESTED: 3 (19°) and 4 (22°) with Fujikura Exotics Fuel graphite shaft; 3 (19°) and 4 (22°) with Fujikura Exotics Fuel Tour graphite shaft
KEY TECHNOLOGIES: A dimpled "Power Grid" creates an accordion effect for more spring at impact. The face is thinner toward the heel and toe to maximize ball speeds across a wider area.
PLAYABILITY: Solidly above average, a handy club that can pull off almost every shot you seek from anywhere on the course; overall trajectory is a pinch lower than many hybrids.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: One of its real strengths; upper-echelon: reliable, repeatable and straight down the line; to lots of guys, it's hard to miss with the XCG7.
DISTANCE: Another one of its strengths—for many guys, as long or longer than anything out there; very good consistency, mis-hits don't fall far behind pure strikes.
FEEL: Our panel's favorite model; it blasts the ball with a thick yet articulate sensation, almost like a forged iron; ideal stability to rip through turf.
LOOK: A slim, matte-dark hybrid with white scoring lines to frame the ball; overall, a traditional, well-received clubhead shape.
Loses points with some guys for its sullen color scheme and distracting logo on the crown; a few testers find the ball flight to be a touch on the low side; a bit heavy for a couple of guys—it requires a fair amount of clubhead speed to achieve optimal results.
BOTTOM LINE: One of the top clubs tested. An overachiever at an affordable price. It combines precision, playability and power while setting the standard for feel.

FlyTampa Montreal
FS9/FSX/P3D. Damn what a wait! I can finally say that Canada is getting the well deserved attention it has desired for so long. We all whined, complained, and begged for Canadian sceneries. It is very clear now: 2013 is Canada's year. With the release of Vancouver, Montreal, and soon Toronto, and possibly a 3rd Canadian airport from FT, we are going to be extremely busy in this country. Today, we are going to get a very in-depth look at Montréal–Trudeau and pay our respects to the men that brought it to us in the usual stunning trademark FlyTampa detail we all have come to rely on. We have all waited so patiently, the wait is finally OVER! Bandwith Warning! Many high-res screens inside. Yo, let's go to Trudeau!!
[Note: For format purposes, images are cropped. Click each image for full size resolution preview.]
He is the man.
I am of course talking about the venerable George Grimshaw. Over the years he has gone from simply a name behind a popular old Boston freeware to one the biggest household names in the FS history. He is among those who not only pioneered the art of FS scenery design, he is also among those who pioneered the art of making high quality sceneries with little to no FPS negative impact.
Now in comparing the P3D CYUL to that of FS9, a very major note is the 2 sceneries are damn near identical abait the features only P3D and FSX are capable of. Thus, needless to say, the FS9 crowd should be extremely pleased with the CYUL created for their platform.
Now it is very important to note that the FS9 CYUL is NOT a dumbed down FSX version. As I just mentioned, the only thing it lacks are FSX features FS9 can't do. With that said, you will find that it is all FS9 folks would expect and included both road and rampside vechicle traffic and volumertic grass.
Now it's very obvious that the textures you will find in FSX and P3D will be greater and sharper, don't allow yourself to think that the FS9 textures are not sharp. You will find that the FS9 textures are quite sharp indeed and represent the airport very well. You will not be disappointed.
One of things that make this FS9 version so good to me is the fact that it comes with no worries. What do I mean by that? Well recently I dropped $1,000 in upgrades to better my P3D experience. The result? Somedays I will see frames in the 50's. Not smooth frames mind you, but stuttering frames. Other days, I can't get from Orcas Island to Darrington in a simple Cessna without a OOM. But some days, everything will go perfectly well.
With FS9 though, there are just no worries because no matter how much I use it, it will deliver desired results 99.8 percent of the time. That's what i call no worries. And with each FS9 release, I am so grateful because I know my smooth FS9 experiences will continue to be renewed with each new product.
With Montreal, this is a huge deal because it's a wonderful airport. The location is wonderful also because there are several high quality payware airports just an hour and half away.
Just looking at these shots many might say FSX looks better. But look at this work. Do we really need it to look better? In my opinion, no we don't. Because it looks almost identical to it's FSX counterpart. Those are the joys of FlyTampa. The boys can make it look good, run damn good, and in turn, make us feel really damn good.
If it's one thing George knows how to do, it's make perfect objects based on data he can get his hands on without getting anywhere near the airport. Everything is accurate and looks great.
In this shot, you get a good example of the differences between FS9 and FSX/P3D and that's the windows. Now my P3D review is below and you will clearly see there is a big difference,
Here is where things get a bit Jazzy... I don't think I have ever had an issue with FlyTampa's Afcads. Things go where things are supposed to go.
Here, the building textures look damn good to me. This does not look like the work of a developer feeling "...well the FSX is complete, let me throw together some FS9 version so they keep their mouths shut..." no. George may feel that way, and if he does, it is not evident in his work. Not at all. The texture work here seems to say "...yeah, I still care about you FS9 people. You still count..." again, he may not feel that way, but that is what the quality seems to communicate.
Moving away from the main terminal, we get a look at the cargo, GA, and hangar areas. All in their right places and represented just as they should.
This is clearly the work of a developer with skill.
Here you can clearly see just how after so many years, FS9 still looks damn good and so does Montreal. Thank you George for giving us FS9 people something new to be excited about. And something done with passion. Few developers still have passion for the old girl, here, pride in ones work is very much evident.
And with that said, let's look at some some screens from Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.
Now, this project took a lot longer than it should have and many wondered why. So in case you missed it, I added a conversation we had with George covering the reasons and constraints leading to the massive delays of this product. You may also recall a while back an article published by Dominique regarding some issues a few major developers ware experiencing with the P3D platform and 3DS Max. These issues were causing major delays in scenery developments. We did get to hear from Umberto of FSDT on some of these issues a while back.NOTE:
This conversation was published back in August of 2012:
D'Andre: Good morning Greorge. This P3D issue and the delays it's causing Montreal. Have you been able to make much progress?
George: The P3D issue is still frustrating. As scenery developers, we are constantly trying to improve on our previous scenery & with Montreal one of our improvements has been a terminal texture size increase from 1024 to 2048. The reason for these larger textures is mainly to maintain a decent resolution while allowing unique texturing, shadowing & ambient occlusion baking rather than the usual tiled textures where the same image is repeated along the length of the terminal. Unfortunately the latest version of 3d Studio Max that was supported by Microsoft/ACES, was version 9 released in 2006. Max 9 is now very slow & cannot handle large textures. It is limited to a low amount of memory because of FSX's 32bit exporter plugins. Once this memory limit is hit, Max will crash & sometimes corrupt your files as a bonus annoyance.
Autodesk, the makers of 3d Studio Max, rightly decided to overhaul the poor viewport performance creating a new system they called 'Nitrous'. The difference was enormous, Yugo V McLaren F1 sorta difference.
Max 2012 can throw around an entire Airport scene at 30 fps compared to 0.5 Fps on Max 9. The crashing & corrupting of files is also addressed.
Plus Max 2012 comes with 100s of modeling & UVW mapping improvements that have the potential to shave 100s of hours off development times. When P3D came out, it came with an updated SDK which supported Max 2012. This was very exciting. However, it was disappointing to discover the P3D Max2012 plugins would crash when trying to export more complex models due to a memory leak.
Even Microsoft FLIGHT's SDK supported Max2012 reliably way back before FLIGHT was released. Not that it matters now.
D'Andre: Do you think Lochheed Martin should make more of a effort and look into these issues?
George: I understand that P3D/LM don't owe us anything. It's unfair to expect them to fix it. But they are our only hope for a faster, more reliable & feature packed 3d Modelling package.Until they fix it & there's no evidence they ever will as they claim they have priorities in other areas, we are all stuck using a 3D Modelling package that is starting to show it's age & lacks modern features.
I don't want to sound like I'm knocking P3D, I really would love for it to eventually replace both FSX & FS9.
As you can all see, most of the issues with P3D have been either resolved, or work around methods have been implemented in an effort to get things done. The next major version of P3D will be a completely new build and will require a new license for current owners like myself. So there is much hope for the platform.
So yes like I said, I made some upgrades recently and these below shots show how the upgrades paid off. You can check our system specs page for my system info. I can say that the QW Avro ( the biggest aircraft I have in P3D) got me 22-35 FPS average with my settings which are mostly high. The screenshots give you an idea of where my settings are.
Now yes the FS9 textures looked damn good, but here we got a totally different ballgame going. Still looking very similar, bit those windows are no joke!
I have no AI in P3D sorry. But I like these shots without the AI. It almost seems to say, this place is brand new, it's start of the art, and it's ready for action!
Now only are those window textures and reflections cool, but they also show you there is life behind the glass and that's because the terminal object is a bit hollow so you see the reflection but also through the glass. Very nice feature but who are we kidding? There is no glass.
Again, these shots just seem to say, FlyTampa created me and I am ready baby!
In the above set, you can really see some of the window reflections here. Very nice work.
I rode on some bus like this in Paris. The first time I saw one I thought it was so funny looking. I wish these were animated, but I am glad to see they are here at all. They serve as a reminder of where you are.
In the above set we get another look at the textures and reflective windows. This just looks so real! I can honestly say that flight simulation has come a very long way. Just look as all that glass! The textures, very realistic.
Look, he even made a point to show off his attention to detail by adding the handicapped parking zone. Many developers might not have bothered. It is now an industry standard to model these parts of the airport in high quality.
Stepping away from the terminal, we can really see he has left nothing out. Even things like this.
I spent the whole day combing this airport and finally I can see the sun has set. This is my favorite part as this is when all the lights come on! Look at that building logo. Is this real? or a simulation of something that exists in real life?
Still floating around look at that light splash on the ground.
More lights. Just look at all the work that went into this above shot. That is skill. And the hard work shows.
I just love those textures and lighting splashing on the buildings from overhead onto the building. Also note the greenish light on the ground from the inside.
In the above set we see night lighting done right. A very realistic feel! It all just looks so real!
And looking at the terminal, man has guy who created Boston V.1 come a very long way. We never think of FlyTampa improving because they have always been so good. But yes, like all developers with a passion in their craft, the FT boys are constantly getting better at what they do. Because they always deliver on our expectations we never think about it.The above shot says it all and sums up the night lights and what you can expect. This is a work of art.
And looking at the terminal, the guy who created Boston V.1 so long ago has come a very long way. We never think of FlyTampa improving because they have always been so good. But yes, like all developers with a passion in their craft, the FT boys are constantly getting better at what they do. Because they always deliver on our expectations we simply never think about it.
Moving to winter, nothing much to say. It's winter and looks as winter should.
So, FlyTampa has done it again. More to the point, George and Martin have done it again. This is an unstoppable duo. Here we have a product that everyone can be happy with. FS9ners and FSXers alike. It is an airport many have been begging for. They answered the call.
Canada has been overlooked for far too long. But finally, Canada is getting the attention it has long deserved. And stepping out of the shadow of it's Southern neighbor. With Vancouver, Montreal, soon to be Toronto, everyone is pleased that the legacy developers are getting it covered.
As far as sales go, everyone has also proven that Canada is worth the effort given the fact that many developers passed it by with the thought that there are not enough Canadians in the market. Well consider this, Canada makes up the top 5 in the AirDailyX readership and there are 2 Canadian members of AirDailyX. So will we see the rest of Canada covered? You damn bet your ass we will! And if the quality of Montreal is any proof of what's in store for us, it's going to be a wild ride and we will be here as always to cover every inch!
Canada, we are ready!
Thanks for reading!

Yahoo is doing some spring cleaning. The company announced its plans on Friday to shut down several products, including Yahoo Deals, Yahoo SMS Alerts, and the Yahoo Mail and Messenger apps used on feature phones.
It's all about getting rid of the old to make room for the new, according to Jay Rossiter, Yahoo's executive vice president in charge of platforms, who wrote about the changes in a blog entry.
"We want to bring you experiences that inspire and entertain you every day," Rossiter wrote. "That means taking a hard look at all of our products to make sure they are still central to your daily habits. As part of that ongoing effort, today we are shutting down a few more products."
Yahoo is killing off Upcoming, Yahoo Deals, Yahoo SMS Alerts, Yahoo Kids and the Yahoo Mail and Messenger apps for feature phones by the end of this month. The company is also axing the older versions of Yahoo Mail starting June 3. This means any users still using Yahoo Mail Classic will have to switch to the new version.
