I have noticed that the birds (geese?) in the terrain window fly north or south depending on the season. I was wondering if the timing of their flight is fixed or whether it can be used to predict the early or late onset of season?

And they think I spend too much time worrying about the small details of the game engine!!!

Robin,

I have almost 90% of your sig: "<something> will never be sold. Raymond Loewy a French graphic artist a little better known than myself." I guess it's the 10% which I am missing that holds the true meaning of your sig ... which is? Sorry, last French class I had was almost 30 years ago.

Mark, the better translation I can give to you is :
"Ugly things, bad design won't never help to sold something"
But my english is very "approximative"

To understand perfectly this sentence, we must know that raymond Loewy was an industrial and marketing designer very well known for his work in united States, specially durind the 50's.

His goal, with this sentence was to explain the fact that invest in design can really help to sold something, and not only the design of the packaging or the corporate identity, but also the design of the product itself. Make it beautifull is always better...

He was known to be the inventor of "Streamline", a kind of design who try to express the spirit of the 50's, made of technology and velocity (some refrigerator and railways engine was designed by him) : "stream and line design"...

And last but not least : he was french...

Even if we have not the time to implement this, it's a good idea. I like it. A discret and elegant way to give some informations by a simple detail. Yes, I like it very much !
