Looking toward the future

Well folks, there's one thing google's webmaster tools are telling me and that is, you're after FSM tutorials. The good news is I have one planned for release after the topographical map tutorial goes live. I will cover as much as I possibly can from basic concepts right through to the head spinning implications for useage within VBS2. Unfortunately BIA haven't released their FSM editor so at this stage it looks like it'll be a double shot of FSM learning fun. The purpose of this post simply is to say quite literally, watch this space!

As for the topographical map tutorial I'm working on final sound recording for the walk-through video, you'll get to hear my fantastic Aussie accent and perhaps some background noise (not really, I'm no voice actor!). Also I'll be putting up a number of example scenarios to compliment the standard VBS2 ones supplied by BIA to demonstrate a number of things, like how to handle dismounts and their parent vehicles, these will be fully documented to outline the key points as well.

Currently my biggest challenge is sourcing a PDF printer app, I may have to install openoffice to achieve this, once that's done there may be a flood of documents explaining all sorts of things.

Cheers for the patience, it's a busy week again, I will post new content as I get the articles to an appropriate standard.

Jamie.

  1. Jamie, try CutePDF (link: [url=http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp]CutePDF[/url]). Might not be full-featured like major players, but might fit the bill (plus it's free... always a plus for the Digger on a tight budget!!)

  2. Cheers mate, had a look at it, got it on the home laptop, gotta say, the thing doesn't like windows 7 one bit! Absolutely refuses to install even with UAC turned off. Fortunately Google Docs allows you to download any document as a PDF so for most things under win 7 I can use that.
