Rob has been a prolific modeler for many years, making available to us many of the classic British Fighters we've enjoyed flying, all as Freeware. Sadly he has decided to take down his Website for several reasons, one of those being his desire to learn the intricacies of modeling for MS2020. As he told me, with only a partial SDK it could be months before he is able to delve into modeling airplanes for the new sim and keeping a website going for FSX and P3D aircraft wasn't something he wanted to continue doing.

He also said that any of his current aircraft can still be made available by request. If you don't have his email addy PM me and I can send it to you. Finally he did let me know that any new projects would be posted in the Sim-Outhouse, so we still get to see what he's working on "first-hand". Join me in thanking Rob for his work over the years and best wishes for his future endeavors! Thanks Rob!

I for one, join you in thanking Rob for his work Ed.

i'm also extremely greatful for his choice to move forward and embrace a current sim, having to leave the legacy sims behind. A difficult choice indeed!

Good luck and thank you Rob, I didnt move from FS9 to FSX for about 5 years until Rob started releasing his Meteors and Vampire's, and they've been my favorites ever since :encouragement: Maybe another 5 years or so, i'll move to 2020 and i will catch up with your furture creation's :biggrin-new: untill then, have a virtual beer on me.

PS, just noticed the Shackleton has gone up in the SOH library
 
Rob: I have enjoyed your for many years and I am sure for many years to come, and I will look forward to see your future work. Thank You very much, God Bless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please add my thanks to Rob for his generosity! :loyal: I've logged countless hours in his fantastic two-seat Cougar, my personal favorite of his works. I'm waiting a while on MSFS (need to save for a new rig, want to let the software stabilize), but I'm glad to hear that Rob's work will be waiting when I get there!

I too am glad he tackled the Cougar, and then went on to do the two seater as well! Just wish the photo version worked in FSX but alas. Sometime next year I plan on getting a second computer with a good video card so I can try FS2020. The landscapes and planes look amazing!

Many thanks

Rob, I've enjoyed your planes for many years and will continue to do so for a long time until MSFS gets sorted out. Thank you very much for your many gifts to our community. My heartfelt best wishes to you and yours in the future. Terry
 
I have several of his aircraft and enjoy using them... Many thanks for your work which is thankless at times. Please don't forget those who are not going to uses MSFS. Many thanks again.
 
One of my favorites is Rob's Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer :jump:

I'm one of the many that shall miss his creations.

Many thanks Rob for your gift to us.

Pete.
 
Amongst a select few Rob has a special place in this community with his skill, generosity and willingness to share his fine work. Thank you!
 
Rob thank you for your generosity over the years. I have especially appreciated your willingness to engage with people about your aircraft. Best wishes for the years ahead.

Thanks Rob for the many hours of enjoyment you have provided to the community through your hard work and dedication. I have an extensive library of aircraft handbooks and manuals so should you need any research material all you need do is ask.

Best of luck in all future endeavors.

Hi,

Me too, I am a fan of Rob's aircraft, specially the latest spitfires and cougars!

But, do you have some documentation for the Bell P39, version Q was used by French Air Force. Maybe I'll have enough skills to try to do something (lol).
