Numbers, Emotions, and the Architecture of a Song

An experiment in using numbers to shape how music makes us feel

By Tony Tuthill (KINNEAS)

What if the emotional impact of a song could be influenced before the lyrics were even finished?

Recently, I started experimenting with an interesting songwriting concept: using numbers, their associated attributes, and patterns of repetition to help construct the emotional journey of a song.

The idea wasn't to make songwriting mathematical or remove the spontaneity of creativity. It was to explore whether numbers could provide another way of understanding how listeners experience tension, anticipation, familiarity, conflict, and resolution.

I began looking at numbers as more than quantities. I treated them as creative building blocks, each with an emotional association that could influence the way a song develops.

Then I put the theory to work on two very different songs.

1. The numbers and their emotional attributes

The first step was establishing a working set of emotional associations.

These aren't scientific laws or universal definitions. They are creative interpretations that can be used as a songwriting framework.

Number	Emotional attribute	Potential songwriting application
1	Individuality, isolation, declaration	A strong opening, statement, or attention-grabbing trigger
2	Duality, conflict, partnership	Relationships, opposing ideas, questions and answers
3	Completion, storytelling, momentum	Triplets, memorable phrases, rhythmic movement
4	Stability, balance, resolution	Predictability, symmetry, grounding
5	Instability, tension, anticipation	Unexpected turns, emotional uncertainty, disruption
6	Warmth, affection, romance	Emotional connection, comfort, familiarity
7	Mystery, longing, uncertainty	Suspense, unanswered questions, emotional searching
8	Strength, repetition, familiarity	Strong hooks, repeated phrases, memorable musical patterns
9	Expansion, culmination	Building toward a larger emotional moment
10	Completion, finality, transition	Resolution, revelation, a completed thought

One of the more interesting observations was the contrast between even and odd numbers.

Even numbers offered a useful creative association with symmetry, stability, balance, predictability, and familiarity.

Odd numbers suggested asymmetry, surprise, displacement, anticipation, and unresolved feelings.

This gave me another way to think about the emotional movement of a song.

A song doesn't necessarily need to remain balanced. Sometimes it needs to feel uncomfortable. Sometimes a listener needs to anticipate something that hasn't happened yet.

And sometimes the most effective resolution is simply bringing everything back into balance.

2. The central numerical progression

From these associations, I developed a progression that became the foundation of my experiment:

1 → 2 → 5 → 8 → 10

Each number represents a different stage in the emotional journey.

1 — Trigger: Grab attention. Introduce an idea, statement, or emotional disturbance.
2 — Conflict: Establish the opposing forces. Give the listener something to relate to or question.
5 — Tension: Increase uncertainty. Introduce complications, anticipation, or emotional pressure.
8 — Hook: Deliver something memorable. Repetition and familiarity help the listener connect with the central idea.
10 — Resolution: Complete the thought. Provide an emotional payoff, revelation, or transition.

I liked this because it gave me a way to think about the listener's experience, not just the arrangement of verses and choruses.

I also began looking at word counts, syllable counts, and stressed syllables as three separate things.

They aren't interchangeable.

A phrase can have eight words but a very different rhythmic feel depending on its syllables and where the strongest stresses fall. The placement of a sustained vowel, a pause, or a word on a strong musical beat can completely change its impact.

3. Building repetition into the numbers

One of the more useful discoveries was the potential of the number eight.

Rather than treating an eight-word hook as eight unrelated words, I divided it into three musical units:

2 + 3 + 3 = 8

This creates a short opening statement followed by two three-word phrases.

That structure gives the songwriter several opportunities:

The opening two words can establish the central idea.
The first three-word phrase can reinforce it.
The second three-word phrase can complete or redirect it.

Those three units can then be reused.

The post-chorus can extract the two strongest three-word phrases:

3 + 3

The outro can expand the pattern:

3 + 3 + 3

This creates familiarity without requiring every repetition to sound identical. Instrumentation, vocal harmonies, dynamics, and arrangement can evolve around the repeated words.

The listener recognizes the phrase, but the emotional meaning can become stronger as the song progresses.

4. Song One: It's Sad and Not Worth It

LINK TO SONG AT SUNO AI: https://suno.com/s/WJqus6gCV29nhZ74

The first experiment was a song about two people who have been together for a long time.

They are arguing about something. We never need to know exactly what the argument is about. In fact, leaving that detail open makes the song more relatable.

The important message is that one disagreement shouldn't erase everything they've shared.

The central thought became:

"This stupid thing WON'T erase all our time."

I wanted the song to sound like a real conversation between two people who are frustrated with each other, but who also understand that their relationship means more than the argument.

How I applied the numbers

I used the numerical progression to help plot the emotional movement.

1 — The opening trigger

Start immediately. No lengthy introduction or unnecessary setup. The listener needs to feel the emotional situation from the beginning.

2 — The conflict

The chorus establishes the central disagreement and the emotional contrast between the two people.

The title itself becomes an important rhythmic device:

"It's sad and..."

[Pause]

"Not worth it."

The pause is intentional. It interrupts the expected rhythmic grouping and gives the words additional weight.

5 — The tension

The bridge becomes more urgent and argumentative.

The recurring thought "Not over this" reinforces the idea that the relationship shouldn't end over something relatively insignificant.

8 — The memorable hook

The chorus uses the two-plus-three-plus-three approach to create a memorable lyrical structure.

The emphasis isn't simply on the number of words. It's on the way the words are grouped, stressed, and delivered.

10 — The resolution

The outro changes the emotional temperature.

Instead of ending with another argument, the song moves toward something softer and warmer.

The final emotional payoff comes through a rising vocal crescendo, followed by a gradual reduction in intensity, eventually returning to an intimate piano or acoustic-guitar ending.

The idea is to let the emotion grow before allowing it to settle.

What I wanted to accomplish

I wanted the listener to experience the difference between being caught up in an argument and recognizing what actually matters.

The song begins with tension, becomes more emotionally forceful, and eventually reaches a point where the disagreement loses its importance.

The numerical structure helped me organize that journey.

It also helped me think about silence as part of the music. A pause isn't necessarily empty space. It can be a rhythmic event that creates anticipation, tension, or emotional emphasis.

5. Song Two: The Mirror Hasn't Shattered

LINK TO SONG AT SUNO AI: https://suno.com/s/wFFkHPrd4RWIIUGY

The second experiment took the numerical concept in a completely different direction.

This song is about someone who has experienced years of bad luck associated with breaking mirrors.

Seven years of bad luck becomes a recurring theme. Misfortune seems to follow the narrator everywhere.

The imagery includes trouble in the street, with a car, on a date, at work, at the bank, and at home.

The repeated idea of things being SHATTERED becomes a lyrical and rhythmic stressor.

But eventually, something changes.

The mirror hasn't shattered.

That simple observation becomes the turning point.

How I applied the numbers

I wanted this song to demonstrate how the same numerical progression could be used to tell a different kind of story.

1 — The trigger

Introduce the history of bad luck and establish the broken-mirror premise.

The listener immediately understands that something has been going wrong for a long time.

2 — The conflict

The first chorus establishes the central problem: the narrator seems trapped in a cycle of misfortune.

The mirror becomes more than an object. It represents the narrator's expectations about life.

5 — The tension

The second verse develops the bad-luck montage.

The bridge increases the anticipation. The listener has become accustomed to things going wrong and expects another disaster.

8 — The hook

The phrase:

"THE MIRROR HASN'T SHATTERED"

becomes the central hook.

The word SHATTERED provides a strong rhythmic and vocal stress point, while the complete phrase reverses the expectation established throughout the song.

10 — The resolution

The story moves from expecting bad luck to recognizing that perhaps the pattern has changed.

The third verse mirrors the earlier misfortunes, but now presents positive outcomes.

The same kinds of situations that previously went wrong begin going right.

The importance of mirrored verses

One of the most important structural decisions was to mirror the negative situations with positive ones.

The second verse establishes the pattern of bad luck.

The third verse revisits those circumstances but changes the outcome.

This is where the numerical framework and the storytelling work together.

The listener recognizes the earlier structure, but the meaning has changed.

I also wanted the chorus and its strongest rhythmic elements to remain recognizable, so that the final repetitions would feel increasingly satisfying.

The working arrangement was developed around 125 BPM in 4/4 time, with a target duration of approximately 3:04.

The overall song structure included:

Verse 1
Chorus 1
Verse 2
Chorus 2
Bridge
Verse 3
Final Chorus
Post-Chorus
Outro

The numerical progression provided a framework for deciding where the listener should encounter the initial trigger, the conflict, the tension, the memorable hook, and finally the resolution.

6. What I learned from using numbers to plot songs

The most interesting part of this experiment wasn't whether every number could be assigned a particular emotional meaning.

It was discovering how those associations could influence songwriting decisions.

I began thinking about several things differently:

The opening matters. A song needs to establish an emotional reason for the listener to stay.

Conflict creates interest. Without something to overcome, there is little emotional movement.

Tension creates anticipation. The listener should feel that something is developing.

Repetition creates familiarity. A strong hook gives the listener something to recognize and remember.

Resolution creates satisfaction. The ending should feel like the emotional journey has reached somewhere meaningful.

I also became more conscious of the difference between words, syllables, and stresses.

A lyric can be grammatically correct and still fail musically. A phrase can have the right number of words but place its strongest syllable in the wrong part of the measure.

And sometimes, removing a word or inserting a pause can accomplish more than adding another line.

7. Two songs, one experiment, two different emotional journeys

The two songs demonstrate why I found this approach interesting.

It's Sad and Not Worth It is about preserving something that already exists. The emotional movement is from conflict toward reconciliation.

The Mirror Hasn't Shattered is about recognizing that something might finally be changing. The emotional movement is from expectation of failure toward hope.

One song is about two people choosing not to destroy their shared history.

The other is about one person discovering that their history doesn't necessarily dictate their future.

Both use conflict, repetition, anticipation, and resolution, but the stories and emotional destinations are very different.

Final thoughts

I don't believe numbers can write a song for you.

They can't replace instinct, imagination, melody, performance, or the ability to recognize when a lyric simply feels right.

But they can give you another set of tools.

They can help you think about the structure of an emotional experience before you start filling in the lyrics.

For me, this experiment has opened up another way of approaching songwriting: not just asking what I want to say, but asking when the listener should experience it, how strongly they should feel it, and what they should take away when the song ends.

Perhaps the real experiment isn't about making music mathematical.

It's about discovering whether mathematics can help us become more intentional about emotion.

Numbers provide the structure. Emotions provide the meaning. Music brings them together.

A REMINDER OF WHO I AM

TONY TUTHILL • KINNEAS

THE CREATIVE HISTORY — BEFORE AND AFTER 1993

An Artist, Illustrator, Broadcaster, Multimedia Creator, and Emerging Songwriter

ONLINE SINCE 1993

There are a lot of ways to introduce yourself.

Artist. Illustrator. Designer. Broadcaster. Podcaster. Publisher. Multimedia producer. Songwriter. Music-video creator. Livestreamer.

I've worn quite a

few of those hats over the years.

Some people know me as Tony Tuthill. Others know me as KINNEAS. Some may recognize Skydude from my flight simulator adventures. And there are people who may remember me from an entirely different time, a different website, a different community, or a project that happened years ago.

It's been a long time since I've written a comprehensive account of my history. The Internet has changed, the creative landscape has changed, and I've moved through quite a few different worlds along the way.

So I thought it was time to put the story together.

This isn't just a biography about what I'm doing today. It's a look at the road that led here: the early art education, professional illustration, traditional commercial art, the arrival of the Internet, online communities, Star Trek media, broadcasting, podcasting, publishing, video production, and the new adventures in songwriting and AI-assisted music-video creation.

My name is Tony Tuthill.

My creative identity is KINNEAS.

And this is the story behind both.

PART ONE — BEFORE THE INTERNET: THE ARTIST TAKES SHAPE

THE BEGINNING: LEARNING TO CREATE

My professional creative history begins well before 1993.

I began working in commercial art and illustration in 1984. At that time, the creative world was very different from what it is today. Digital tools were limited, and much of the work involved traditional artistic skills, physical materials, mechanical layouts, typography, photographic processes, and hands-on production.

I learned the foundations of commercial art through formal training and practical experience.

My education included drawing, illustration, painting, printmaking, photography, typography, advertising art, logo design, book design, layout, typesetting, mechanical art, production, and art direction.

I learned how to take an idea from an initial concept through thumbnails, roughs, finished artwork, and final production.

Those fundamentals have remained important throughout my career.

In 1985–1987, I attended Douglas County High School, completing a double-baccalaureate program in Art and Commercial Art.

I continued my advanced commercial art training at the Cherry Creek Campus in Aurora, Colorado, studying under Professor Craig Lincoln. That training included traditional commercial art techniques, typography, advertising, book production, photography, darkroom work, layout, and early digital art.

I have always considered that period an important foundation. It taught me to think about the entire creative process, not simply the finished picture.

EARLY PROFESSIONAL ART EXPERIENCE

My early professional work included commercial illustration, editorial art, and publication production.

My professional portfolio documents work beginning in 1984, including projects associated with Honeywell, the University of Colorado at Denver, and Douglas County High School.

I also worked with traditional art and production environments where the finished product required a combination of artistic ability, technical knowledge, and attention to detail.

I was learning how creative work actually gets made.

That distinction matters. Having an idea is one thing. Turning it into something that can be printed, published, presented, or delivered to a client is another.

That combination of artistic and production skills became a recurring theme in my career.

KANSAS CITY ART INSTITUTE

From 1988 through 1992, I attended the Kansas City Art Institute.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration/Design and was a Top Ten graduate.

My studies included illustration, painting, printmaking, photography, digital art production, art history, and other areas of visual and creative development.

It was an important period of growth, both artistically and intellectually.

The experience expanded my understanding of visual communication and gave me a broader foundation for the work I would pursue afterward.

I also continued developing interests outside traditional art, including psychology, philosophy, history, and the study of ancient civilizations.

Those interests would eventually find their way into my creative projects, storytelling, humor, and songwriting.

THE AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

My early art career included recognition in local and state competitions, including multiple first- and second-place awards between 1979 and 1987, as documented in my professional portfolio.

My later recognition included multiple Marvel fan-art awards during 2000–2001 and recognition associated with the Honeywell Centennial Art Contest.

I also received recognition during my time in the technology industry. At Gateway Computers, I was ranked among the national Top Ten Technical Support Professionals and received the company's Above The Rest award, along with multiple MVP awards.

Those experiences might seem unrelated to art, but they reflect something that has followed me throughout my working life: I enjoy learning complicated things, understanding how they work, and finding ways to make them work better.

PART TWO — 1993: ENTERING THE ONLINE WORLD

ONLINE SINCE 1993

1993 is an important milestone in my personal history.

It marks the beginning of my online creative journey.

The Internet was nothing like the world we know today. There was no YouTube, no modern social media, no easy video publishing, and no enormous collection of ready-made creative tools.

Computers, networking, online communities, and digital communication were still developing.

I was interested in the technology itself, not just what it could display.

My experience included building, repairing, and upgrading PCs, computer networking, computer-aided design, digital content creation, and exploring Internet broadcasting and online communities.

I was interested in the possibilities.

How could people communicate? How could creative work be shared? How could communities form around common interests? What could broadcasting become when the audience was no longer limited to traditional radio and television?

Those questions would eventually lead me into online community leadership, podcasting, Internet radio, publishing, and multimedia production.

The tools were changing, and I wanted to be part of that change.

THE EARLY YEARS OF ONLINE COMMUNITIES

Before today's social media platforms, online communities were built in very different ways.

People gathered around interests, hobbies, games, entertainment, technology, and shared experiences.

I became involved in online communities and America Online, including community leadership and chat-host activities.

That environment helped develop skills that would later become important in broadcasting and podcasting: communicating with an audience, managing discussions, creating engaging experiences, and helping people feel part of a community.

It was not simply about being online.

It was about participating in the creation of something that existed because people came together.

That idea continues to influence how I approach livestreaming and audience participation today.

PART THREE — ART, COMICS, PUBLISHING, AND STORYTELLING

RETURNING TO SEQUENTIAL ART AND GRAPHIC STORYTELLING

My visual-art background eventually led me into character design, sequential art, graphic novels, and publishing.

From 2001 to 2003, I worked with Lee Nordling and Platinum Studios on graphic novel property development, character design, and book layout.

I was selected for Platinum Studios' Rookie Pick program and received professional training in sequential art and graphic novel production under Lee Nordling.

In 2003, I received a Platinum Studios Professional Badge and an invitation to attend San Diego Comic-Con, with access to industry professionals and behind-the-scenes activities.

From 2003 to 2005, I worked on the Platinum Studios project The Taking of Happyland.

The work involved character design, background design, graphic novel layout, pencils, digital inks, coloring, text, lettering balloons, cover design, and cover artwork.

It was an opportunity to combine many of the skills I had developed over the years into a sequential storytelling format.

THE ADVENTURES OF CHUTNEY & CHOW

Another publishing project was The Adventures of Chutney & Chow, created with Christopher Stahl and published in 2008.

It represents another part of my interest in characters, humor, illustration, and storytelling.

I have always enjoyed the challenge of developing a visual idea into something that has its own personality and can be experienced by an audience.

ST — STAR TREK ONLINE CARTOONS

One of my Star Trek-related creative projects was ST, a Star Trek Online cartoon series published in 2009.

This project brought together my illustration background, my interest in Star Trek, and my
involvement in the online gaming community.

It was a natural combination of interests: creating visual content for a community that was actively following the development and launch of a new Star Trek game.

ST remains an important part of my publishing and Star Trek creative history.

PART FOUR — STAR TREK, PODCASTING, AND INTERNET BROADCASTING

THE HAILING FREQUENCY PODCAST

From 2005 through 2010, I was involved with The Hailing Frequency Podcast, a Star Trek gaming podcast.

My documented roles included executive creator, executive producer, art direction, multimedia production, public relations, marketing, on-air personality, host, co-host, and journalist.

This was a significant expansion of my creative work.

Podcasting brought together several disciplines: audio production, broadcasting, writing, research, visual identity, promotion, and audience engagement.

It also provided an opportunity to participate in a community that was passionate about Star Trek gaming and the developing world of online entertainment.

The Hailing Frequency was more than a microphone and a conversation. It was a multimedia project with a creative identity and an audience.

STAR TREK INTERNET RADIO

From 2008 through 2011, my broadcasting work expanded into Star Trek Internet radio.

Projects and outlets included:

TrekRadio
STO-Radio
Subspace Radio

My responsibilities included executive creation and production, art direction, multimedia production, public relations, marketing, on-air work, hosting, co-hosting, and journalism.

I worked with people and organizations involved in the development and promotion of Star Trek Online, including connections with Cryptic Studios, Atari, and Bandai.

The experience combined my interests in art, technology, entertainment, gaming, and broadcasting.

THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD PROJECT

One particularly memorable event was connected with the launch of Star Trek Online.

On February 14, 2010, a Guinness World Records event took place on the Millennium Bridge in London, England, involving the largest gathering of people dressed as Trekkies/Trekkers in one location.

My professional portfolio documents my involvement with Tricia Gray, Cryptic Studios, Atari, Bandai, and Guinness in connection with the event.

As I have described it, I suggested the idea of approaching Guinness for a launch event, and Tricia Gray helped move it forward.

It was a memorable example of what could happen when an idea, the right people, and a little enthusiasm came together.

The record was subsequently broken, but the experience remains part of my Star Trek Online history.

A STAR TREK CHARACTER INSPIRED BY TONY TUTHILL

Another unusual piece of my Star Trek history came in 2008.

A character named Tuthill appeared in IDW Publishing's Star Trek: Year Four — The Enterprise Experiment, Issue #2, written by Derek Chester and D.C. Fontana.

My professional portfolio identifies me as the inspiration for that character.

It's certainly not something that happens every day, and it's a particularly fun connection between my online identity, Star Trek involvement, and the published Star Trek universe.

PART FIVE — OTHER CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS

THE VENETIAN PRINCESS

From 2009 through 2012, I worked with The Venetian Princess on illustration, branding, and

merchandising.

The associated video projects included Speidi Free, Accident Prone, and The End Is Nigh.

This work continued the combination of visual identity, character-driven entertainment, and multimedia production that had become a recurring part of my career.

MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCTION

My professional portfolio also documents music-video work associated with several artists and musical projects.

These include:

Steely Dan — Black Cow
Elvis Costello — Watching the Detectives
The English Beat
Arthur Yoria — Permanent (The Oldest Story in the World)
Brad Sucks — I Think I Started a Trend
Lemon Demon — Telekinesis

These projects are part of my broader history in digital art, video production, and multimedia.

The combination of music and visual storytelling has been an interest for a long time. Today, that interest is taking on a new form through my own original songs and music videos.

OTHER PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

My working life has not been limited to creative industries.

I've also worked in technology and customer support, including Apple and Gateway Computers.

At Gateway, from 1999 to 2001, I was nationally ranked among the Top Ten Technical Support Professionals and received the Above The Rest award and multiple MVP awards.

I mention this because it is another part of the same story: curiosity, technical learning, problem-solving, and the ability to work across very different disciplines.

Creative work and technology have never been separate interests for me.

They have continually influenced one another.

PART SIX — THE MODERN CREATIVE CHAPTER

KINNEAS — A CREATIVE IDENTITY

Over the years, KINNEAS has become an important identity associated with my creative work.

It's the name connected with much of my online art, multimedia, broadcasting, and now music.

Today, KINNEAS is the identity I use for my original songwriting, SUNO AI music projects, and music videos.

But the name represents much more than a music channel.

It connects the work I'm doing now with the decades of creative exploration that came before it.

BECOMING A SONGWRITER

Songwriting is one of the newer disciplines in my creative life.

I consider myself a novice songwriter.

My journey began with a simple idea: I wanted to turn my own lyrics into songs.

That led me to SUNO AI.

What started as an experiment quickly became a much deeper exploration of musical creation.

I began learning how to communicate musical ideas through prompts, how different styles influence a song, how instrumentation changes the emotional character of a composition, and how vocals, harmonies, arrangements, and production choices work together.

I write the lyrics and develop the concepts. I direct the creative process and use SUNO AI as a musical instrument to explore the possibilities.

I'm learning how to take an idea and guide it toward a finished musical production.

I don't claim decades of songwriting experience. I don't.

But I do bring decades of experience in visual composition, storytelling, creative direction, design, production, and multimedia.

Those skills are now finding a new outlet.

THE 3 WORD SONG CHALLENGE

One of the projects that brings this new chapter to life is the 3 Word Song Challenge.

The concept is simple: audience members provide three words, and the creators use those words as the starting point for original songs.

The challenge adds another layer by having two crea

tors work with the same words and musical style, allowing the audience to hear different interpretations of the same creative assignment.

The show is built around audience participation.

The viewers are not simply watching someone make a song. They're helping direct the creative challenge.

It's an opportunity to combine songwriting, improvisation, experimentation, live broadcasting, and community participation.

It's also a continuation of something I've enjoyed since the early days of online communities: bringing people together around a shared creative experience.

MUSIC VIDEOS — BRINGING THE SONGS TO LIFE

For me, creating a song is only part of the experience.

I also want to give the song a visual identity.

My background is in illustration, design, character development, visual storytelling, and multimedia production. Naturally, those interests have carried over into music-video creation.

I develop the concepts, visual direction, characters, environments, and stories that accompany the music.

Some videos are humorous. Some are dramatic. Some are emotional. Others take an idea and push it into a completely unexpected direction.

The goal is to make the video more than a collection of images placed behind a song.

I want to create a visual experience that complements the music and gives the audience another way to connect with it.

AI-ASSISTED ANIMATION AND TOONBEE

The arrival of AI-assisted animation and video-production tools has opened another creative door.

I'm experimenting with ToonBee and other digital production workflows to create music videos using characters, scenes, visual references, animation, and storytelling.

Projects such as The Eggs Didn't Stick, Tin Sandwich Jack vs Larry, and Seconds Later represent different approaches to this process.

Each project presents its own challenges.

Character consistency, scene composition, animation timing, visual continuity, camera movement, and storytelling all require creative decisions.

I'm learning how to work with these tools while applying the principles I've developed through years of illustration and multimedia production.

The technology is new, but the creative questions are familiar:

What is the story? What should the audience see? What should they feel? How do the visuals support the idea?

That's still the job.

The tools have simply changed.

PART SEVEN — SKYDUDE AND FLIGHT SIMULATION

ANOTHER CREATIVE IDENTITY

Music and video production are not my only interests.

I've also developed SkyDude, my flight simulator identity and livestreaming series.

Using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I explore aviation through career-mode adventures, livestreams, challenges, and the occasional spectacular failure.

The SkyDude Flight Sim Career Adventures combine aviation, exploration, entertainment, and audience participation.

The series includes elements such as Random Failures, BushTalk Radio audio tours, role-playing scenarios, and music.

It's a different creative environment from KINNEAS music videos, but it comes from the same interest in technology, storytelling, entertainment, and interactive experiences.

I've never been particularly good at limiting myself to one creative discipline.

And I don't expect that to change.

PART EIGHT — WHAT CONNECTS ALL THESE YEARS?

When I look back at the different stages of my life and career, the projects might seem unrelated at first.

Commercial illustration. Graphic novels. Publishing. Star Trek communities. Podcasting. Internet radio. Music videos. SUNO AI. Animation. Flight simulation.

But there is a common thread.

I've always been interested in taking an idea and finding a way to make it real.

Sometimes that means drawing something.

Sometimes it means designing a publication, developing a character, producing a broadcast, creating a video, writing lyrics, or building an entire visual world around a song.

Sometimes it means learning a new technology and discovering what it makes possible.

I've worked through the transition from traditional commercial art to digital art, from early Internet communities to modern social platforms, from Internet radio to livestreaming, and from conventional multimedia production to AI-assisted creative tools.

Each generation of technology changes the possibilities.

But the underlying creative process remains remarkably familiar.

You start with an idea.

You experiment.

You make mistakes.

You learn.

You revise.

And eventually, you have something that didn't exist before.

That's what keeps me interested.

WHY THIS HISTORY MATTERS

I realize that not everyone discovering my work today knows anything about the projects that came before it.

Someone might find a KINNEAS music video and assume I've always been a musician.

Someone might discover SkyDude and know nothing about my art background.

Someone might come across an old Star Trek podcast or a published cartoon and have no idea that the same person is now experimenting with SUNO AI and music-video animation.

That's why I wanted to put this history together.

I don't want the earlier chapters to disappear simply because I'm working on something new.

I'm proud of the work I've done, the things I've learned, the people I've worked with, and the communities I've been part of.

I'm also excited about what comes next.

I may be a novice songwriter, but I'm certainly not a newcomer to creativity.

And I think that distinction is worth remembering.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

Today, my creative work continues under the names TONY TUTHILL, KINNEAS, and SKYDUDE.

I'm writing original lyrics, developing song concepts, creating music with SUNO AI, producing music videos, experimenting with AI-assisted animation, livestreaming, and exploring new ways to bring creative ideas to an audience.

I'm still learning.

I'm still experimenting.

I'm still discovering new tools and new ways to use them.

And after all these years, I still enjoy the process of making something from nothing.

The Internet of 1993 is long gone. The technology has changed beyond anything I could have imagined at the beginning.

But the curiosity that brought me into that world is still here.

I began working professionally in creative art in 1984. I entered the online world in 1993. And I'm still creating today.

This is not the end of the story.

It's simply the latest chapter.

SUNO AI 3 WORD CHALLENGE — THREE WORDS, ONE SONG, A WHOLE LOT OF CREATIVITY! - SUNDAYS 3PM MST

How three random words turned into a live songwriting adventure

I have to admit, when I first started the SUNO AI 3 WORD CHALLENGE, I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself into. I had an idea: take three words, throw them into the creative mix, and see if we could turn them into an original song using Suno AI.

Simple enough, right?

Well, as it turns out, three little words can take you in some pretty unexpected directions!

What started as an experiment in songwriting and AI-assisted music creation has become a regular livestream adventure. It's a chance to have some fun, challenge ourselves creatively, involve the audience, and see just how far we can take an idea in a limited amount of time.

And the best part? We never really know what we're going to end up creating.

So, What's the 3 Word Challenge?

The concept is pretty straightforward.

We start with three words. They can be completely unrelated, unusual, funny, serious, or just plain ridiculous. The audience gets to help choose them, and once we have our three words, the clock starts ticking!

Our goal is to take those words and turn them into an original song using Suno AI, ideally getting it into Suno and generating our music within about 45 minutes.

I'm KINNEAS, and when my co-host HAZARD joins me, we both get to work with the same three words. It's interesting to see how two different creative minds can take exactly the same starting point and come up with completely different musical ideas.

We don't just throw three words into Suno and hope for the best. There's a creative process involved.

We have to figure out what the words might mean together, find a story or an interesting angle, come up with a title and a hook, decide what kind of music would work, develop the lyrics, and then work on the style and production direction.

Sometimes the idea comes together quickly. Other times, we take a few wrong turns, argue with a lyric, rethink a chorus, or discover that the song has taken us somewhere we never expected.

That's part of the fun!

The Audience Is Part of the Creative Process

One thing I've really wanted to do with this series is make it more than just another livestream where people sit back and watch someone create music.

I want people watching to have a say in what happens.

That's why we started by inviting the audience to help us choose the three words. Those words become the foundation for everything that follows.

But the audience can contribute much more than that.

We want your suggestions for musical genres, instruments, tempos, vocal styles, harmonies, lyrical ideas, story directions, and even changes to the lyrics as we're developing the song.

You might hear something that gives us an idea we hadn't considered. You might suggest a musical direction that completely changes the feel of the song. Or you might come up with a line that turns out to be exactly what the chorus needed.

The challenge is a lot more interesting when everyone gets involved.

And we're continuing to find new ways to bring people into the process.

Now You Can Play Along, Too!

Here's something I'd really like to see develop as the series continues.

If you have a Suno account, you don't have to just watch us create songs. You can take the same three words and create your own song!

Think about it. Everybody starts with exactly the same three words, but there's no telling where each person will go with them.

You might write a country song while someone else creates a rock anthem. Somebody might turn the words into a comedy song, while another person comes up with something emotional and completely unexpected.

That's the beauty of this challenge. There isn't one right answer.

I'd love to have people create their own versions, share their songs with us, and bring them back so we can listen to them together. We can talk about the lyrics, the musical direction, the arrangement, the vocals, and all the creative decisions that went into making them.

We can compare approaches, celebrate the unexpected results, and learn from one another.

I'd especially like to make room in future livestreams for listening to and reviewing songs submitted by people playing along.

The three words aren't just our challenge anymore. They're an invitation for everyone to create something!

What Have We Learned Along the Way?

Every livestream has been a little different, and that's what keeps this interesting.

We've discovered that the three words don't have to make sense together when they're first presented. In fact, sometimes the more unrelated they are, the more interesting the creative possibilities become.

We've learned that finding the story is often more important than finding the rhyme. A good title and a memorable hook can give a song its identity, but the lyrics still need to tell us something worth listening to.

We've also learned that Suno AI is a creative tool, not a magic button. Getting a good result takes thought, experimentation, and a willingness to make decisions along the way.

Sometimes the first idea works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Suno surprises us with something wonderful, and sometimes we have to go back and try again.

That's songwriting!

And that's really what I enjoy about this whole experience. We're not just generating music. We're exploring ideas, developing stories, experimenting with different musical styles, and learning how to get more out of the tools available to us.

Most importantly, we're having fun doing it.

The Adventure Continues!

As we move forward, I'd like to see the SUNO AI 3 WORD CHALLENGE continue to grow beyond just KINNEAS and HAZARD creating songs on a livestream.

I'd love to see more audience participation, more people playing along, more original songs being shared, and more opportunities to hear what everyone comes up with.

You don't have to be a professional songwriter. You don't have to know anything about music theory. You don't even have to have used Suno before.

Bring your imagination, a few ideas, and a willingness to experiment.

You might be surprised by what three words can inspire.

So join us for a future livestream, help us pick the words, contribute your ideas, or create your own song and share it with us.

Three words. One challenge. Endless possibilities.

And we haven't run out of words yet!

KINNEAS & HAZARD — THREE WORDS, ONE SONG!

2 new Toonbee Music Videos - My journey into AI animation so far!

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Wed, 4 Nov 2026 16:44:52 -0700

Two New ToonBee Music Videos – My Journey into AI Animation So Far

I've been spending quite a bit of time experimenting with ToonBee, an AI animation and video-creation platform. My goal is to take some of the original songs I've been writing and creating with Suno AI and bring them to life through music videos.

I've now completed two very different projects: The Eggs Didn't Stick and Tin Sandwich Jack vs Larry.

These videos have been quite a learning experience. I'm still relatively new to ToonBee, and these are among my first attempts at using the platform to create complete animated music videos. I've discovered that having a song, a story, and a collection of character ideas is only the beginning. Getting an AI animation system to turn those ideas into a consistent visual story is another challenge entirely!

The Eggs Didn't Stick – Keeping It Simple

The first project was The Eggs Didn't Stick.

The musical challenge behind this song was intentionally simple: write a song about one thing. Keep it focused. Give it a straightforward structure inspired by the Tin Pan Alley songwriting tradition, with strong repeating lines and a memorable hook. The musical direction was pop, with a target length of approximately two minutes and fifteen seconds.

The entire idea revolves around one small, everyday success: the eggs didn't stick to the pan, so it's going to be a good day!

I wanted the song to have a sense of whimsy. Nothing complicated, no elaborate message, just a simple idea that could carry an entire song.

For the video, I developed a little kitchen story featuring Molly and her cat, Felix. Molly discovers that her eggs have cooked perfectly and released cleanly from the pan. That small victory sets the tone for her morning. She celebrates, dances around the kitchen, and eventually gets ready to leave, while Felix watches the activity.

It sounds simple enough, doesn't it?

Well, creating it turned out to be a lesson in just how difficult visual continuity can be.

One of my biggest struggles was getting ToonBee to maintain the same kitchen from scene to scene. Even when I described the same room and reused similar details, the backgrounds could change. Furniture, walls, doors, and other parts of the environment weren't always consistent. Characters and objects could also behave differently than intended.

There were specific moments where an action that seemed perfectly clear in the prompt didn't translate into the movement I had imagined. For example, getting Molly to leave the kitchen and close the door correctly proved particularly challenging. Even the eggs themselves didn't always behave as they should!

I learned that a simple story still requires careful planning. The more actions I tried to combine in a scene, the more opportunities there were for the animation to go in an unexpected direction.

I also learned that a good written description doesn't guarantee that the generated video will follow it exactly. Sometimes the result is surprisingly good. Other times, it takes several attempts to discover what the software is actually capable of doing.

The Eggs Didn't Stick taught me to pay closer attention to scene composition, character consistency, background details, and the amount of movement I ask the AI to create.

Most importantly, it taught me that keeping the story simple doesn't necessarily make the animation process simple!

Tin Sandwich Jack vs Larry – A Much Bigger Challenge

My next project, Tin Sandwich Jack vs Larry, was a very different undertaking.

This one began with a song concept rooted in country blues. The story revolves around Jack, a harmonica player, and Larry, a guitar player. Jack has a history involving a crossroads and a bargain with the Devil. As his reputation grows, he eventually finds himself facing another musician.

Larry comes to town, and the two become friends. They spend time together, laughing and enjoying themselves. But their friendship eventually leads to a showdown at the crossroads.

The Devil takes on the role of referee, and the confrontation becomes a dramatic musical face-off between Jack and Larry. There's a crowd, anticipation, and a supernatural presence behind the whole affair.

The story takes a much darker turn as it reaches its conclusion. The final lyrics bring the consequences of Jack's bargain into focus:

"It was either them or me,

I don't feel fine.
I'm sorry Larry. It had to be
The devil gets his wine."

This project required considerably more characters, locations, and storytelling than The Eggs Didn't Stick. I needed Jack, Larry, the Devil, and the harmonica to remain recognizable. I also needed to establish the crossroads, the surrounding town, the crowd, and the progression of the story.

That introduced a whole new set of challenges.

Character consistency became especially important. A character sheet might establish exactly how Jack or Larry should look, but getting those same characters to appear naturally in different poses, situations, and scenes was not always straightforward. Getting a character to perform a particular action without changing their appearance could be difficult.

There were also challenges involving the story's supernatural elements. In one later sequence, for example, Larry needed to appear as a ghost while still retaining his recognizable character design. ToonBee didn't always interpret that distinction the way I intended.

I also discovered how much more complicated it becomes when several characters interact. It's one thing to animate a person moving around a kitchen. It's quite another to have two musicians facing one another, a Devil acting as referee, and a crowd reacting to the action at the same time.

The project pushed me to think more carefully about character references, scene descriptions, animation instructions, camera placement, and the timing of individual actions.

It also reinforced something I had begun learning with the first video: sometimes the best approach is to simplify a scene and concentrate on one important action at a time.

What I've Learned So Far

These two projects have given me a much better appreciation for the work involved in AI-assisted animation.

I started with songs and ideas. I had to learn how to translate those ideas into visual scenes, describe what I wanted to see, and then work with the results ToonBee generated.

Some of the biggest lessons so far have been:

Consistency matters. Characters, rooms, props, and locations need to remain recognizable from one scene to the next.
Specific instructions matter. Describing the action clearly is important, but the AI doesn't always interpret instructions as intended.
Keep scenes manageable. Too many movements or interactions in one scene can make the result unpredictable.
Timing is part of storytelling. A scene needs enough time for the action to happen and for the music to carry the moment.
Expect experimentation. Sometimes the first result works beautifully. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get closer to the intended result.

I'm also learning that creating a music video is not simply a matter of feeding a song into an animation program and letting it do everything. There's a creative process involved in planning, directing, reviewing, correcting, and making decisions about what works.

I'm still learning the software, and I certainly haven't mastered it. But each project gives me a better understanding of how to approach the next one.

Two Songs, Two Very Different Adventures

The Eggs Didn't Stick and Tin Sandwich Jack vs Larry demonstrate two very different approaches to songwriting and visual storytelling.

One takes a simple, whimsical idea and builds an entire pop song around it. The other takes a country blues concept and develops it into a supernatural story about friendship, competition, and the consequences of a bargain.

Both began as original musical projects, and both became opportunities to explore a new creative medium.

I'm looking forward to continuing the experiment, improving the animation, and finding better ways to bring these songs and stories to life.

There are plenty of things I still need to learn about ToonBee, but that's part of the adventure.

Two videos down. Plenty more ideas to come!

TOONBEE AI ANIMATOR + New Version of 'It's Okay To Cry'.

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 03:11:39 -0600

How to Create Your First Animated Video with ToonBee: A Beginner's Guide

Animated storytelling used to require weeks of drawing, complex keyframing, and expensive production software. With ToonBee, anyone can turn a simple idea into a polished, animated cartoon video in under five minutes—no design or animation experience required.

If you are opening ToonBee for the very first time, here is the exact step-by-step roadmap to make your first video a success:

1 Start in BeeGuide: From the dashboard, click + New Project and pick BeeGuide. This 5-step wizard guides you from concept to completion without overwhelming you with timeline tools right away.

2 Prompt Your Story & Pick a Style: Type your core idea (or paste an existing script up to 8,000 characters). Choose an aspect ratio—like widescreen (16:9) or vertical (9:16) PRO for social media—and select a visual theme like 3D Pixar, Comic Book, or Claymation.

3 Set Character References & Review Scenes: Before generating art, set up your recurring characters in Step 2. Giving your character a consistent reference image ensures they look the same across all scenes. Review and tweak the narration script and image prompts for each scene.

4 Generate Visuals, Voices & Motion: Let the AI generate scene images (or upload your own for free). Add a natural narrator voice, choose background music from the built-in library, and animate your scenes into motion video clips using the available video models.

5 Polish in BeeStudio & Export: After the wizard completes, open your project in the BeeStudio editor. Here you can tweak scene durations, add text or logo overlays, adjust audio volume, and export your video as an MP4—rendering is always completely free.

💡 Beginner Tip: High-quality creation doesn't require extra purchases—ToonBee includes models marked FREE that produce finished, production-ready videos. Uploading your own media and final cloud exports are always zero-cost.

You can also link your readers directly to helpful reference guides such as Welcome to ToonBee, Creating Your First Project, and the Introduction to BeeGuide.

New Song & Music Video: 'It's Okay To Cry'

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 17:12:07 -0600

What if the voice you need most is the one that’s been with you your entire life? Your own heart asking for something.

It's Okay to Cry is a song about the feelings we carry, the tears we hold back, and the healing that may begin when we finally let them fall. Sometimes, it's been years; years of old aches, old fears, and things we never quite found the words to express. Sometimes, life seems good but something inside is still waiting to be released. And sometimes we convince ourselves that we must be strong. That we must keep going. That crying is a weakness. But what if your heart has been waiting for you to listen? Through a simple, deeply personal message, this song invites you to give yourself permission to feel. No explanations. No apologies. No need to prove that your pain is real. Just you and your heart. Help me help you. Your heart isn't asking you to be stronger. It's asking you to stop fighting what you feel. Whether the tears come easily, have been held back for years, or don't come at all, you deserve the space to feel what you feel. And when the moment passes, perhaps you'll find yourself breathing a little easier, ready to take another step. Because sometimes the first step toward healing is allowing yourself to cry. It's okay to cry. Listen, feel, let go, begin again. Created with Suno AI. Written by Tony Tuthill, Kinneas. If this song touches something inside you, share your experience. It might help someone else feel less alone. #It'sOkayToCry #EmotionalHealing #SunoAI #SunoMusic #Kinneas #TonyTuthill --------------------------------------- ONLINE SINCE 1993: Tony Tuthill, also known as Kinneas and SkyDude, is an award-winning visual and commercial artist and 1992 graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, Top 10, Illustration & Design.

SUNOai News: SHARED WORKSPACES - October 15 2026

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 05:57:11 -0600

SUNOai Shared Workspaces: What We Know So Far

Suno has quietly introduced a new feature called Shared Workspaces, giving creators the ability to invite other Suno users into a shared workspace environment. While details are still limited, the feature appears aimed at improving collaboration between creators. [blog.suno.com], [suno.com]

According to Suno's release notes, Shared Workspaces allow users to share a library of songs with invited collaborators. Access is restricted to members who have been invited to the workspace, and the feature is currently available to Pro and Premier subscribers. [blog.suno.com], [suno.com]

At the moment, much of the practical functionality remains unclear.

Some of the questions creators are likely asking include:

Can collaborators generate songs within the workspace?
Can they edit existing projects?
Can they download tracks?
Can they publish content?
Can they delete songs or other assets?
Which account's credits are consumed during collaboration?

As of this writing, I have not found official answers to those questions.

I have already created a Shared Workspace and sent an invitation to another creator. However, the invitation is still pending, so I have not yet been able to perform hands-on testing.

Suno also announced support for shareable custom models as part of its collaboration-focused update. Details on how those models can be shared and managed are currently limited. [blog.suno.com], [suno.com]

For now, Shared Workspaces appear to be intended as a centralized location where teams can access songs and potentially other creative assets. Until more users begin testing the feature, much of the workflow remains unknown.

I will be conducting real-world testing as soon as my invited collaborator joins the workspace. Once that happens, I plan to document:

Permissions and access controls
Editing capabilities
Download restrictions
Publishing options
Credit usage
Any limitations or surprises discovered during testing

SIMCITY SOCIETIES - The Tutorial. Another SIMTitle THE SIMS Community ...

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Fri, 9 May 2025 23:06:00 -0600

You may have noticed lately that the SIMS community has been blowing up wanting all kinds of new gameplay features that actually are not new at all and were kind of promised by EA and Maxis over thirty years ago. The creator's goal was that eventually all the SIMTitles could work together to give you the best darn SIM experience ever. Take SIMCITY SOCIETIES here. And its expansion, called, destinations. This would allow SIMS players to create even more thematic cities. Authoritarian cities, creative cities, spiritual cities, old west farmland cities, create interesting resorts & theme parks destinations. Anyway. I'm playing this to explore all the features I never did in the past and to do some light ranting at EA and Maxis to bring back: SIMCITY, SOCIETIES, STREETS, COPTER, PARKS and even SPORE. To finally allow all the products to optionally work together if you choose. Now that it's 2025. Seamless integration would be nice. Anyway, SIMS community. Everything you are asking for now for the SIMS can most likely be found in any one of the great SIMtitles from the past. Nothing new under the sun.

#294 Could You Survive ALONE where S1 peeps did? A MS Flight Sim [2024] ...

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 14:22:00 -0600

Skydude's career jobs have opened up the locations where TEN survivalists started and only ONE emerged the winner of the first season of History Channel's; ALONE. The map will show the location of each contestant. We'll look at short clips of each participant and then have a good look at their locations. [LOCATION] Coal Harbor, Vancouver Island: 49.293056,-123.125556 Q: Would you ever sign up to do something like ALONE? Q: How well do you think you would do in a ALONE situation? Alone is an American survival competition series on History, formerly the History Channel. It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 10 individuals as they survive alone in the wilderness for as long as possible using a limited amount of survival equipment. With the exception of medical check-ins, the participants are isolated from each other and all other humans. They may withdraw from the competition ("tap out") at any time, or be removed due to failing a medical check-in. The contestant who remains the longest wins a grand prize of $500,000 (USD) (increased to $1 million for season 7). [CHAPTERS /coming] Alone INTRO clip Each episode starts with these cool clips about man, nature and or man in nature. Women are not excluded from this [Some of the Commentary/Reactions] MAP - I think this is the only time you get a full map and the locations. In later seasons it's a bit harder to pinpoint some of the locations. 1) Wayne: Broke down fast. He does not last long. 2) JOE: SO what's the first thing he does. Gets soaking wet. He talks a great game, went in poorly suited and then will lose his fire starting stick and tap quick out because he can't make a fire without it. 3) Josh. He taps out fast. He's scared. 4) Sam: The youngest. And as you'll see he was the closest to where the TV were most likely staged. Not far at all from them. It's so populated he probably could have walked into town every night for a STARBUCKS. As you can see. He's got a GREAT ATTITUDE and is very comfortable in his surroundings. He's going to do very well and was and remains a HUGE FAN FAVORITE in season one. 5) BRANT: This dude is a trip. Literally. he ends up making himself sick on badly filtered water and trips on some magic mushrooms. He does not make it very long. 6) Dustin: Sorry I'm not recalling anything about Dustin. I know he doesn't make it. Sorry Dustin. 7) Mitch: MITCH. He does well. Well suited and comfortable. Another fan favorite from Season one. I think some of the wolf howling and noise are coming from SAM who is not tooo far away. 8) Chris. First night. With wolves howling close. I don't blame him for being edgy. He does pretty well once he gets settled in. 9)LUCAS: Very much a super fan favorite who does incredibly good. His attitude and character take him a long long way. 10) ALAN: The winner of season 1. A very amazing and rugged individual with the right skills and character to endure the worst moments of surviving on the shores of Coal Harbor.

#293 It's a joke of course. I think. Maybe? But! What I can tell you is while looking for more jobs in Vancouver British Colombia, I spotted VICTORIA. A place of importance that would be good to sightsee and learn about. Then immediately noting it's a MSFS 2024 Career DESERT. At the moment only jobs at the outskirts. So. I want to find a short job nearby and then do a big detour to go look & learn about VICTORIA.

4/19/25 MSFS2024 Hourly Live Weather Looks - Colorado Springs 7AM - 9PM

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:56:00 -0600

This Saturday I decided to do something different. Use the HISTORIC 24 Hour Weather in Microsoft to have a look at the weather each our from 7AM to 9M. Not big changes...but. Lovely. Live Weather Data is provided by Meteoblue and is beautifully simulated in Microsoft's EARTH DIGITAL TWIN ( Home of MS Flight Sim ): https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/week/colorado-springs_united-states_5417598 It's so easy to take the live weather in Microsoft Flight Simulator for granted. It alone is a paradigm shift in high performance computing and simulation. The entirety of what IS the Microsoft Earth Digital Twin and Flight Simulator is a paradigm SHATTERER! Being able to experience flying in the best and worst conditions ( Like Hurricanes ) of real-time live weather has been astounding! And. Terrifying in a good way! You quickly learn to respect the dangers of what mother nature can throw at you. WHY am posting MSFS Live Weather Looks as Skydude Shorts? Well. I have learned that in the real-world, if you want to fly cross-country you have to make a flight plan and they advise studying the winds over a seven day period prior to flying. This keeps me in the habit of looking at Colorado weather and eventually understanding common patterns, etc. Colorado Springs is my home so I'll almost always start each live weather look of Colorado in Colorado Springs. If doing multiple views I will try and pick areas in the N,S,E,W, that give a good overall impression of the live weather across the State. - Skydude is: Tony Tuthill ( a.k.a.

"Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Spring Sale! 90%...er...81% off! Er..."

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 02:49:00 -0600

Better Late Than Never! When I first saw the ad for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Spring sale on Twitter it was only for 2020. So I asked why and left it at that and didn't bother checking the Marketplace myself. "Dumb!" But. While I was just on the forums tonight, I see it's also for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. So. Sorry for not checking there first, for being late and for not informing you on my daily livestream this week. Anyway I hopped into the marketplace to see what items were 90% off and the best deal I could find was for 80-81% Then jokingly commented to myself about it being false advertising. Now get this. as I'm putting this together and am looking for the 90% off text from the forum to copy paste blow up and highlight on the screen for you I see they've lowered it to 81%. Well. That's almost as good as 90% I suppose. Happy fly...er...happy spending.

[ SOLVED ] Tried Everything AND STILL Can't See Multiplayers in Microsof...

noreply@blogger.com (TONY TUTHILL) — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 22:51:00 -0600

There is a NEW SETTING that will now STOP YOU from SEEING ALL OTHER PLAYERS! It's definitely not what you would expect! I tried joining the Microsoft Flight Simulator Community Fly-In and could not see anyone. As I have done many I knew all the NORMAL REASONS and SETTINGS that would cause me to be unable to see all other multiplayers. Those settings are: - In the ONLINE TAB: Having any of the three MULTIPLAYER settings OFF. - In FLIGHT CONDITIONS: Not having the MULTIPLAYER option set to LIVE or ALL. Again. NORMALLY those are the only setting that cause you to not see other players. [ THE SOLUTION ] There are NEW SETTINGS IN Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 not available in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. - IN the SETTING for GRAPHICS, you need to click the down arrow to SHOW ALL the hidden settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the options list, make sure AIR TRAFFIC is NOT SET TO OFF. - AIR TRAFFIC being set to OFF will prevent you from seeing any other MULTIPLAYERS in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALL OF THE NORMAL AND KNOWN OPTIONS SET TO ON or set correctly. I hope this helps! Happy Flying! - Kinneas ( SKYDUDE ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - I can't see other players in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - Troubleshooting Multiplayer problems in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - MSFS2024 Can't see other players or aircraft in multi-play - Needed Multiplayer Settings in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
