Background Music removed
from web-site |
|
You are not going deaf!
The music has been removed.
Reasons:
1. The code was only supported by Microsofts
Internet Explorer.
2. Other browsers are expanding rapidly in useage
due to MSIE security issues.
3. If someone visits the web-site from their work computer, having music
automatically play can be distracting to co-workers and may impact on your job
security if a supervisor is nearby.
4. When flying online and viewing the web-site in the kneepad, the music
interferes with communications.

New
VOZ Packages |
The new
version of Vista Australis has been released and as
mentioned in a previous post has a heap of updates and fixes. Also at the VOZ webpage the is an excellent VOZ AI package comprising of
every aircraft in Aussie skies 
So for all those wanting a bit more out of the GAAR, I highly recommend
grabbing them both.
Note the files are a bit on the large size, but well worth it !
cheers
