Hi Joshua,

I don't know exactly what causes your curiosity.

As far as I have contact with developpers in the team of Foute Man and Willem most (if not all) are people who do all this in their spare free time. I even get the impression that some of them do so much for our community that in fact they have a seccond job. And this is a job for which they are not paid at all. That these heros have skills is not a question, it's a fact! But if I'am wrong dear modders, please correct me!

Speaking for myself, it's purely a hobby for me - although is has gotten a bit out of hand, considering the amount of time I spend in front of my PC. And since my day job is barely generating enough money, I should perhaps reconsider all this.

Either I should take up a second job (uhm, nooo) or go donation/payware. But for that my skills need to be much better. I am just an amateur at the moment, so no worries for the immediate future.

Besides, it would generate only little profit. If I wanted to make some money with this, I should start designing for FSX, not CFS3. If my CFS3 work should be cost effective (hours work against amount of customers) the price for each airfield or collection of buildings is gonna be sky high.

Anyway, who would pay a few bucks for something that used to be free...?
Still, it would be nice to earn a litle money on the side and help SOH at the same time..
 
Hobbie? Why no. For Profit? why no. A gamer? why no

I am a forensic digital pathologist. I enjoy figuring out what went wrong. M$ CFS3 stuff keeps me tuned up and on my A-game.

Did I ever tell you about the time the Grizzly was lost in the wilderness and everyone thought that aliens had abducted him? Wrong!! After close scrutiny of his system and the facts I determined that his binary numbers had morphed to logrithmic.
 
Why you ask .....

..... if you have to ask why you'll never understand. :kilroy: No, just kidding that just sounded dramatic. Sounds like its a line that should be in a movie somewhere. This is pure hobby and a passion.
 
I think there are a couple "developers" out there and more than few computer pros. rpb, so THAT's what happend? That durn base "e!" Kind of like our imaginary economy. :D No better way to screw up a portfolio than start playing with the square root of -1.

i =:faint:
 
I don't have enough shelf space left for real models, and my wife objects to my paints, solvents, etc. All I want to do is paint aeroplanes!
 
1) I have always had a passion for ww2 history, especially the RAF
2), got into flight sims.
3) found cfs3
4) didn't like the stock airfields so over the last 3 or 4 years have almost learned to make better ones.
5) most rewarding and iinexpensive hobby I ever had. :)
 
I laud the other members of the ETO for their philanthropic ideals. Personally I rush down to the post box every day as I am expecting a fat cheque from Bill Gate's pension fund for increasing his royalties from sales of CFS3.

Seriously though, despite being a complete dimmo in respect of the g-max wizadry of the other guys, I find it very rewarding that I can contribute through patiently utiisling their models to fill out the sim's global layer. I don't think there is another sim where there is such an open structure.
