There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
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 politicion 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 amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I am very sorry indeed to hear about Dave aka No Dice passing away.
He did such wonderful work with his FreeFlight Site, which has helped
so many simmers in so many different ways.
We have lost someone very dear to us all.
My sincere condolences to his family.
Rest in Peace, Dave.

When I looked at his signature "Laissez les bon temps rouler", it hit me; he just posted here wishing me happy birthday...
Well... what can I say... the hurting is for the living. I just wish those, near and far that knew him, that sorrow will be filled by the good memories he left us.
As for you, No Dice, puisse les bons temps continuer de rouler.

Yes, I noticed as well. Very sad.
I remember he made a beautiful panel and excellent custom gauges for the
Heinkel 162 "Sparrow" jet a few years ago.
He was a great guy, always ready to help. How sad, and how unfair, but such is life.
The good memories remain.
Cheers,

Hello Hubbabubba,
I made a dreadful mistake in my last post...
I got totally confused with the nicknames, and when I had a look into the readmes of the Heinkel 162 "Sparrow", I saw that the author of the lovely gauges and wonderful panel hadn´t been poor Dave, and on top of that, I couldn´t remember the nickname/aka of the author, so I e-mailed Smilo, who told me it was you!
Aarrghh!
My awful memory! There´s this medicine I´ve been having to take for the last two years, that often plays such terrible pranks on my mind, much to the desperation of some people who have even taken offense, so I hope you will be patient with my defects and forgive my faux pas!
Hoping all´s well with you and yours,
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

No Dice did many other things for CFS1 (and 2) that commands our respect and admiration. His site was a trove of knowledge and a corner store for all novelties and "got to have" files.
No need for apologies, Aleatorylamp.

Yes, indeed! Ever helpful NoDice would always come up with pertinent suggestions relative to useful material on his site, whenever I posted a query in this sense on either of the two Forums.
It is fortunate and important, the good work Rami is doing, with help from others, to take care of having NoDice´s site secured, or rescued, as it were.
Cheers,

He would use a lot of superlatives in his descriptions and always have something nice to say.
I mentioned this to Anna Honey when I heard about his passing. She commented that this was a great skill that most people do not have.
I know that I do not have this skill.
He will be missed.

I was referring to the panel and gauges provided by Hubbabubba.
