![]() The Thunderbird vastly outsold the Corvette even though they sold for similar prices. Ford created the Thunderbird to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette that General Motors had released a few years earlier in 1953. Available engines were either a 292 or 312 cid V8, and in 1957 a supercharger was added to increase horsepower and torque. The first generation of the Thunderbird lasted from 1955–1957. In 1967, Ford brought out the first four-door T-Bird in history, which was very successful at first, but sales soon slumped. Originally, Ford only made the Thunderbird available as a two-door convertible with a removable fiberglass top, but soon they added a Rayon-top option, and in 1958 Ford introduced a four-seater version. The Thunderbird sold well, almost eclipsing 100,000 cars annually for a few model years. The first six generations of the Ford Thunderbird spanned 22 model years from 1955–1976. Make sure to check out our other article for the 1977–2005 Ford Thunderbird. This article will cover the first six generations of the Thunderbird, from 1955–1976. From 1968–1971, Ford released the ThunderJet variant, which was essentially a muscle car with its 429 cid V8 engine pumping out 360 horsepower and almost 500 lb-ft of torque. ![]() ![]() The 1950s T-Birds are some of the most recognizable American cars of all-time, with their classic tailfins and headlights. It did make one last comeback from 2002–2005 for an 11th generation, but Ford has since retired the moniker again.Īlso known as the “T-Bird,” in 1957 the Thunderbird became one of the first production cars with a factory equipped supercharger. ![]() The original run of the Thunderbird lasted for 10 generations from the 1955–1997 model years, before Ford briefly halted production. First introduced for the 1955 model year, Ford marketed the Thunderbird as a personal luxury car that featured outstanding performance from big-block V8s. Spanning 50 years, the Ford Thunderbird is one of the most iconic cars in American history. ![]()

![]() Despite early Plantagenet victories, including the capture and ransom of John II of France, fortunes turned in favor of the Valois later in the war. ![]() The war formally began in 1337 following Philip VI's attempt to seize the Duchy of Aquitaine from its hereditary holder, Edward III of England, the Plantagenet claimant to the French throne. The medieval Kingdom of France emerged from the western part of Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire, known as West Francia, and achieved increasing prominence under the rule of the House of Capet, founded by Hugh Capet in 987.Ī succession crisis following the death of the last direct Capetian monarch in 1328 led to the series of conflicts known as the Hundred Years' War between the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet. Frankish power reached its fullest extent under Charlemagne. ![]() The Frankish king Clovis I united most of Gaul under his rule in the late 5th century, setting the stage for Frankish dominance in the region for hundreds of years. In the later stages of the Roman Empire, Gaul was subject to barbarian raids and migration, most importantly by the Germanic Franks. Afterwards a Gallo-Roman culture emerged and Gaul was increasingly integrated into the Roman Empire. The Roman Republic annexed southern Gaul as the province of Gallia Narbonensis in the late 2nd century BC, and Roman Legions under Julius Caesar conquered the rest of Gaul in the Gallic Wars of 58–51 BC. Over the course of the first millennium BC the Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians established colonies on the Mediterranean coast and the offshore islands. The Gauls, the largest and best attested group, were Celtic people speaking what is known as the Gaulish language. ![]() Greek writers noted the presence of three main ethno-linguistic groups in the area: the Gauls, the Aquitani, and the Belgae.

Beginning the Gameįrom the Main Menu, select 'New Game'. Really, once you start the game, you don't notice too much. It does make it a little easier on RAM and CPU for a system. The graphics aren't as bad as you would think for being 16-bit. The main screen, when the game starts is shown in Figure 1. Now, you may be wondering about the 16-bit graphics.

You can open a terminal change into the 'brux-nightly' folder and run the command: sudo cp -r. ![]() Open a folder with Root privileges and copy the contents into '/usr/bin'. The Zip file can be extracted and is placed into the folder 'brux-nightly' by default. So, to install Brux, we need to download it first. Instructions are all written in Squirrel. Brux is the Game Development Kit used to make the SuperTux Advanced game. Once you have these dependencies installed, you need to install the Brux GDK. The above works, but on some sites, the 'dev' file is suggested. If you want, you can add 'libsdl2-dev' to the list as well. You can run the command: sudo apt install libsdl2-gfx-1.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libsdl2-net-2.0-0 libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 -y Let's look at the dependencies in the repository first. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 as my system, but once you see the instructions, you should be able to modify the commands to work for your distro, as long as the repository has the necessary dependencies. The installation is not one that seems to be well documented, so let's try to make this easy. The basis of the new story is that Tux must complete the levels and free his friends. In SuperTux Advanced, Nolok is upset over losing to Tux by having Gnu freed. ![]() Nolok appears in SuperTux Kart and kidnaps Gnu and holds him until he is freed. The original SuperTux has the storyline that Penny is kidnapped by Nolok. The game is not an exact replication of SuperTux, but the levels are all different. We are talking late 80's for these systems. The main difference is that the game is a 16-bit version similar to the older gaming consoles like the Genesis and Super Nintendo. You can get it from the downloads page (it's probably best to search your package manager application for supertux if you are on Linux though).SuperTux Advanced is a game similar to SuperTux. SuperTux is free, open source and is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. SuperTux is a very well done game and while it might not impress that much graphically, you really can't beat it for pure entertainment value. Admittedly, I didn't have the time to get very far through the levels, but it seemed pretty well polished to me. They are both great fun to play, and I tried the newer release briefly. There are currently two different versions of the game you can download - the stable, but older 0.1.3 and the newer, but as yet unstable 0.3.0 release. Unsurprisingly, instead of the moustached man, you control everyone's favourite operating system mascot, Tux. It is basically a Super Mario clone, called SuperTux. Jacob's recent post on Lemmings clone Pingus reminded me of a similar game (similar in the penguin content anyway) which is also great fun to play and can give you that nostalgic feeling. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each of the media has its corresponding Refractive Indices.

![]() In the Atmospheric Light Scattering renderer, an experimental new option for more detailed cloud lighting is now available. This release also fixes many bugs, among them an adjusted P-factor effect, making the flight model more realistic. Other than that, the tutorials and checklists have received much attention, including two new tutorials: take off and landing for float variants. The flaps lever and flap motor have also received sound improvements. The aircraft has also received new sounds: clicking on the checklist in the pocket by the pilot seat, toggling the control lock, mounting and dismounting the GPS from the panel, opening and closing glove pocket, moving the window latches, and toggling the water rudder cable. It now has a much improved vertical stabilizer model, including a retopologized beacon model, and all of the aircraft antennas have been redesigned as to match the gauges in the model P. The exterior model has also received some improvements. The lightmap illumination responds to the environment light and dims during daylight. These include post lights, which are installed on individual gauges, a red flood light which can be used during night flights too, and a white dome flight and wing courtesy lights to be used while in the ground during the pre-flight checks. The plane now makes use of lightmaps, making night flights much more immersive than before. ![]() An ambient occlusion map has been applied to all interior textures, making the cabin look much more realistic.
