X-Plane 9.44 - Fly an airplane in this OpenGL-based 3D environment. (Demo): "

X-Plane 9.44

X-Plane is the world\'s most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.

Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.

X-Plane comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic SR-71 and Space Shuttle. X-Plane comes with about 40 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several thousand more are freely downloadable from the internet. (See www.X-Plane.org as a good place to start).

X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between -60 and +74 degrees lattiude. We also have MARS scenery! (thanks to the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter, which mapped that planet\'s elevation) You can land at any of over 18,000 airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers, helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil rigs.

Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders! Real weather conditions can be downloaded from the internet, allowing you to fly in the actual weather that currently exists!

X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with 35 systems that can be failed manually or randomly, when you least expect it! You can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, and landing gear at any moment.

While X-Plane is the world\'s most COMPREHENSIVE flight sim, your purchase also comes with Plane-Maker (to create your own airplanes) World-Maker (to create your own scenery), and Weather Briefer (to get a weather briefing before the flight if you use real weather conditions downloaded from the net).

X-Plane is also extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design or the planes that come with the sim.

X-Plane\'s accuracy (in flight model), scope (in aircraft and terrain coverage), versatility (in aircraft type and weather conditions), add-on programs (in aircraft and scenery editors), user-customizability, downloadable aircraft, and downloadable scenery makes it the ULTIMATE flight simulation experience for Macintosh.

BE SURE TO TURN ON THE >BETA< OPTION IN THE INSTALLER BEFORE YOU RUN IT TO GET THE BETA! The demo contains a limited scenery area to keep the download size reasonable, and the joystick runs for 10 minutes only.

EyeTV 3.3 (5851) - Watch, record, edit, and timeshift TV (update from within the app). (Updater): "

EyeTV 3.3 (5851)

EyeTV products lets you watch, record, edit, timeshift and archive TV on your Mac. With solutions for analog and digital television, and video quality options to meet differing customer needs, Elgato has an EyeTV to fit your Mac.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.3:

EyeTV Live3G: Free Web App Streams Live TV over 3G on the iPhone

With Elgato's new EyeTV Live3G web app, you can watch live TV and EyeTV recordings anywhere. The web app connects your iPhone to your Mac at home. It uses state-of-the-art HTTP Live Streaming technology to deliver high quality video streams without sacrificing battery life. The Live3G web app is available immediately at live3g.eyetv.com. Log in using the same 'My EyeTV' username and password that you created in the EyeTV application.

For even easier access in the future, add live3g.eyetv.com as a bookmark to your iPhone's home screen. The web app also works in the Safari web browser running on a Mac with Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

What's more, Web apps have access to TV-out on your iPhone. So as an added benefit of Live3G, you can watch live and recorded TV on a television or projector by connecting your iPhone with a compatible cable.

64-bit H.264 Video Decoder

EyeTV 3.3 now runs the H.264 video decoder as a 64-bit process. The H.264 video decoder is by far the most CPU-intensive part of EyeTV, and moving it to 64-bit has improved playback performance on Intel Macs with 64-bit processors by 10-20%.

Drop Field Deinterlacing

There is a new 'Drop Field' deinterlacing option in the Display preferences of EyeTV. This option is recommended for users who want to enjoy HDTV on a slower computer.

SuperCal 1.2.0a - Visual display calibrator. (Demo)

SuperCal 1.2.0a - Visual display calibrator. (Demo): "

SuperCal 1.2.0a

SuperCal is a visual display calibrator capable of measuring and correcting most conventional displays, including LCDs, CRTs and projectors. SuperCal doesn't require any hardware measurement devices - only your eyeballs - yet it can be much more accurate, based on how well you pay attention to what your doing :).

Nearly all existing calibrators assume that you have a display that behaves like the textbook ideal CRT. They don't consider the fact that LCDs don't behave like CRTs at all, nor the fact that most displays have flaws. This is where SuperCal comes in.

SuperCal lets you accurately measure the response of any display and build a profile with a corrected gamma table that improves the appearance of your display under Mac OS 9 or X. When your display is properly calibrated, you'll notice much smoother tonal gradations and cleaner-looking anti-aliased text.

SuperCal was designed to provide the most accurate calibration possible without the use of a hardware measurement device. Very few users can afford to purchase a hardware calibration device like an X-Rite or Colortron, but all users need a properly calibrated display, whether they are retouching digital images or shopping for clothing on the internet.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.2.0a:

• This build is not feature complete, but it is stable and fully functional.
  
  
• The built-in help pages have not yet been updated since version 1.1.4, but they will be updated in a future build before final release.
  
  
• The 'display colors' step is still present, but you DO NOT need to select a display from the list. It won't hurt if you do, but it's ignored because the true display colors are now extracted from the default profile that the operating system generates for your display.

Mac OS X 10.0 or later.
