I'm moving again... EirJet, my previous employer in Ireland has gone bankrupt. I have already got a new job offer with easyJet in the UK, and will start with them monday, the 13th of November. Those of you that have been around long enough may remember that my first job was with easyJet as well. They were kind enough to take me back :). I will be flying the Airbus A319 with them. Initial basing will be East Midlands Airport (near Nottingham), but I hope to transfer to a mainland Europe base soon. During the first 2-4 weeks I'm unlikely to have my own pc with me but I will be around the forums. If anything needs updating or changing I will probably be able to do it. *Rides off into the sunset* (again)

After a long time I have put a new mesh on-line. It's not completely new as it's based on the work of Mike Wright and Ed Giddings, but the final product has been worked on and modified on all parts by Mike Dilliott. As you can see, the resulting mesh is certainly worth his work!


With this I would like to personally apologize to Enzolima. He has also submitted a mesh; it's not been forgotten! I will get to it ASAP.

I have coupled the public gallery to the new user database. Everyone will now have to use their username/password combination registered in the new forums. If you haven't registered yet, your old username and password will now no longer work and unfortunately you'll have to re-register with the new forums. This shouldn't take a minute, though.

Voting in the public gallery is now done on the comments screen, and the vote you cast on an image is displayed. This should make it easier to see voting behaviour.
You can both vote without adding a comment, and add comment without voting. However, if you vote and do not comment, an empty comment is added anyway for other users to see your vote.
I hope this will solve some of the past problems!

I have put on-line a new forum, so you can all discuss what happened here if you want. And of course, to continue using it to help one another out.

I do have backups of the old threads but I'm not even going to go through getting them into the new forums, as I simply do not have the time for that.

The user database for the new forums will be coupled to the public gallery soon. However, at the moment for the public gallery please use your old username and password. Unfortunately, if you're new here you won't be able to use the gallery until I have completed this work.

If you can't get to the new forums, please go to your "Extra -> Internet options" menu and click "delete files" to clear your cache if you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Other browsers will have a similar way of clearing the cache. Then close the window, open a new one and come back to trekmeshes. That should fix the link.

Enjoy, and hopefully this will be the end of this.

The public gallery uses the user database from the forums. As the forums are no longer usable, new registration is not possible for now. Current users can continue to use the gallery without problem.

I'm looking for alternatives to IPB. You see, the new versions are no longer free, which is why a vulnerable version was still installed (in misplaced but good faith). I know there's other alternatives but for reasons stated below it's not really a priority in my life. I am looking into it when I need a distraction though. It may be very soon, it may take some more time. If there's more attacks on other parts of the site it'll never, ever happen. But rest assured I'm doing the best I can right now.

To the hacker(s): It must be a lot of fun to break into a site, with the intention to bring it down. It's a lot of fun to take away something that people all over the world are using. It's great fun to show others what you can do, even though it's in actual fact just doing something that someone else invented for you.

Well, I (Erik Timmermans, webmaster) couldn't give *******. Right now I have other things on my mind. I'm moving across the globe trying to find a nice place to live. I may well be about to loose a very young family member of mine. Do you think I care about what you can do to my site? That it impresses me?

This site has run without being broken into since 1998 (and there have been vulnerabilities, like with every site). For 8 years people haven't seen a need to ruin it. That's made it fun. Right now, I cound't care less, ruin the forums, ruin the gallery, ruin the site. Do what you like. I'll just take the whole thing off-line. And it will never come back. And you know what? I may feel better for doing it.

So eat your heart out. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly don't but the demise of my long-running site isn't really an issue for me right now.

Exactly one year later and I'm moving again! This time I'm leaving Sri Lanka for Ireland. My ADSL will be disconnected today and soon after my pc will be shipped off. I'll monitor the site but don't expect any huge updates until I'm in Ireland (2 weeks till I'm there, and then I'll have to wait for a broadband connection).

Any questions or comments? Just post them on the forums, I've opened a topic to keep you up-to-date.

Today I added the second of S-Stephens add-ons for Sarod's Intrepid class mesh. This time it's listed as a seperate download since you can also use it without the mesh. However, if you use the two together they fit (as designed) and you can do animations like this one (3.3 MB).

A single shot to preview the bay here:


Thanks to S-Stephen for this release. It's available under "non-ship meshes" in 3DS and MAX formats.

Added today a long-overdue extension to Sarod's Voyager: S-Stephen created landing gear legs for it. Not static ones; these are pre-animated for you to show the doors opening, legs extending and unfolding and moving into place. It's actually quite a simple looking add-on, but very effective. A low-quality movie shows it in action. Available in MAX and 3DS. It's now available on the download page with Sarod's mesh. Thanks to S-Stephen!

Quiet addition today: I found the original LWO archive of Dominic's Dauntless. It's been added to the download section so Lightwave users can now enjoy this model!

Thursday, 16th of March 2006
After a long time, I today added a mesh by Bucky Argyle, it's the original TOS Enterprise. There was one already on the site, but this one (in MAX format) is much better than the one before. Have a look yourself:


Available under Canon ships. Enjoy and thanks to Bucky!

The popups should be history now, as I have removed the script that caused them.
As a backup, I've installed Google Analytics. It's very new so if any of you have any complaints please let me know!

Nedstat, the service provider which has since 1998 provided my statistical information has recently been taken over. Without informing users, they have started to add popups to the counter code.
As I will *not* have any popups on my site, please inform me (preferably through the forums) if you start seeing some. I will then remove the statistics service.

Just a quick update of whats going on:
At the moment I'm still living in a temporary place, looking for a permanent apartment. I've got my eye on one, available at the end of the month, however that's when I'll be going back home for the first time since I got to Sri Lanka. Halfway september I'll be back, and if I'm in my own place, I'll get ADSL installed. That should get things moving!
