There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Kelti will be remembered for his humble, straight forward help and generosity. More than a few occasions he bailed me out on situations when I was learning the ropes in CFS2. I would correspond with him via email at times. As some of you might know,...he had gone through a very hard divorce but then met someone new in his life. I didn't know she had passed too.
Every Christmas time he'd send out his annual email holiday missal that I'd looked forward to. He had a good sense of humor where he'd have me laughing on things he'd write about. Thought about visiting him but that wasn't more than a pipe dream.......
I know I was blessed in getting to know him.

He was helpful to me on many occasions as I learned the ropes here on this site.
Many of you knew him personally. I weep with you.

May we always remember Kelti and the others we have lost:
It ruins my day every time I have to add to this page:

Hey guys.
I miss Stefano terribly...I had the treasure of spending about 36 hours with him, and he invited me into his home on the outskirts of Fidenza. We explored castles, as well as safe houses and Roman ruins in the Po River valley, and even visited a cheese factory, where I saw the process of making mozzarella cheese. We shared an entire bottle of wine over lunch...something that I won't forget.
I corresponding privately with Stefano many times while he was ailing, after the death of his beloved, I don't think he ever recovered. I pray that he is now comfortable in another place, and that he can rediscover his joy and passion, especially flying.
He was one of the good guys, to be certain.

The sadness of growing older ,is loosing long time friends , Salute Stephano
Kelti was truly a one of a kind Italian.
While in Germany I was not able to get down to see him, but like Rami, he and I emailed back and forth often over those years in Europe.
Stefano was not only a great help here in the sim world, he was invaluable for advising me on places in Europe to take my family on holidays.
He is missed, yet alive in all the props and other creations here in our world of flight sims.
RIP my friend.

Kelticheart legacy section...
Good morning,
About four weeks ago, Fibber suggested to me privately about the possibility of creating a "legacy" library section for Kelticheart, as had been done for Akemi, Talon, and Usio. I didn't have time to do it then, because I was desperately trying to catch up on the semester following surgery. However, now that I am back on an even plane and had an opportunity to enjoy a break over Thanksgiving, I set up the category and transferred all of Stefano's (Kelticheart's) uploads to this section.
Between these four and Yashico, we've lost several pillars of CFS2, but their contributions have been preserved. Hopefully, I won't have to add any other names to this list in the near future.

Thank you Rami for immortalizing him in his own category. He deserves it.
I can only hope when my time comes, CFS2 will still be around. Note: I don't plan to leave you folks any time soon!

I was very distressed to hear of Kelti's passing . Over the years he was always willing to answer my stupid questions with a great deal of sincerity and understanding . We probably only had 10-12 communications over the last 10 years but he was always helpful and kind.
Anyway , I thought i would start to fly the SM-82 Canguro but I'm suffering with KRAFT disease I can't find it .
The fact that you all have done a special area for his work is really outstanding !!!
Bless you all

It saddens me to hear of Kelti's passing. He was a very kind soul, always willing to help. I haven't flown the Pacific Theater in a long time but back when I did, I used a lot of his "Prop Mods" on my planes. It was always a pleasure to chat with him in the forums.
Clear Calm Skies ahead my friend.
