As part of our ongoing effort to better collaborate and communicate with the development community, we've asked for folks to submit articles related to the creation of add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The first of these articles, "FSX Emissive Textures and How They Relate to Virtual Cockpit Lighting" was submitted by Bill Leaming of Eaglesoft fame. Bill's paper has been through review by our internal team, and is intended to help other developers understand our virtual cockpit lighting technology.  We encourage you to read this article if you are at all interested in adding lighting effects to your virtual cockpit.

A big thanks to Bill for being the first to take on a role like this!  If you would like to submit a paper for publication, and believe you have the technical knowledge and writing skills to contribute a write up similar to this one, please send us your abstract and a brief bio of who you are and what your experience is with developing add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
