Graham gave me every one of his addons, I have all the source files for every single one of them. He just kinda gave up, I remember talking to him the day he gave them all to me. I wastrying to encourage him to hold on but he just lost drive. So he gave me all the stuff for safe keeping and told me to dowhat ever i wanted with them. SO i took good care of them all this time. I will see about up dates for them.


Really misss that guy.

He was a good memeber of simtech when he was in with us.

Good to see you back Tom ,,, Puttin in my Dibs for a restructured Vb- Hawker Hurricane Vc update ,,,, As the first plane for Cfs-2 I still flog it in combat ,,,, Hints thinner front window supports would be a huge bonus ,,
I still roll out the Vb-Spit one ,,nostalgia I guess ,,,
 
going to definatly look inot the palnes, I will see about what i can do with them, they will definatly look alot nicer for sure. and Im going to put in new guages and stuff as well.

Ya..........the thrill is gone.......or feeling wasted time

Ya....................with computers and software....................

You loose the thrill.....................computers are becoming like refrigerators and washing machines.............everyone got one .........and a new model comes out the day after you get yours.

Also..............the feeling of wasted time................you living in a virtual space.............


You have to watch the psychological end of online or computer/software work........or play

I know VB planes...........you know VB planes...................they are great ...................and I feel like I am still in the cockpit..................how many downloads has VB possibly had...............maybe 200,000 or more....

My work ..........as cheeky as it is ........has had over 60,000 downloads....................so there is a mark to consider for VB.

The size of a average National League sport arena is 90,000.....................twice that many ......world wide have sat in the seat of a VB plane.

The payware aspect is now a problem..............everyone is seeing ......man....200,000 x $5.00 =????

which can get slightly un motivating for the past free builder............you gotta watch the starving artist syndrome ..........or the mozart complex...............curse you Antonio Salieri you robbed me of my work...................and made me feel like crap........
 
vb planes

Hey all, you know Graham was a very good bud of mine, and we built alot of great planes, all of which i have never released yet, they are mostly ww1 stuff as he loved that time erra as much as i. The best I can do because allot of them are very old models and to fix them would be almost a total rebuild so its not really worth the tiem to do it, But I was thinking why dont you guys give me a short list of 5 vb planes that are the best ones and I will look into fixing those ones as much as i possibly can for you, they will come back to you under a combination Vb/simtech lable and I will post them on my new site. This way we honer ol Graham and keep him in the game a bit as well.

Thanks Guys

I think that's alot to ask of a person who is recovering from a stoke and is just getting back into things again,don't you?I know about strokes because my brother had one in 2001 and is still not fully recovered and still on disability plus I had one in 1995 and it took a few years before I was really back to pretty much back to normal.If you took the time to read the link in Aerobat85's post you would see the planes would all have to be reworked which would take more time than Tom feels they are worth.I think we should all be happy with what he does no matter how many of the VB planes are done or any other planes he does.

Sorry for the rant but I think certain people are just selfish when it comes to people working on addons and want everything no matter what.

I'd like to propose another option.

Of course it would be up to Crashwoody, but with all the VB planes in the hanger, it might be helpful to select some project teams to rebuild some of the VB planes. There are some real jewels in the VB collection and with today's state of the art, a lot of new life could be breathed into them.

We have several accomplished 3d designers, painters and DP-FM experts. Perhaps Crashwoody would share the base files for select planes with select teams for a rebuild of the VB stable. With several teams rebuilding some of the VB planes, we could have quite the community project and gain some very useful and nice planes as a result and would take some of the pressure off of Crashwoody.
 
Any work being done to update these models will be greatly appreciated. I'll make sure to include them in future campaigns! :ernae:
 
No hurry on any of this Tom ,, by the way I was refferring to the old Fds-1 ,,version and not Grahams Gmax line ,,,, and thanks for all you have done for us sim -pilots,,,,
 
Hey guys its all good at ol simtech, Im just takeing a day at a time here guys, Im like cfs2, I aint going any where hehe so I will eventually get them all done and if they cant get fixed I will just build new ones for ya.

Im still the deadliest painter you ever saw, good at guages and sounds and air files and all that, but the modeling is the where my brian just cant remember any thing.
Heck I even forgot that there was a Avsim and a flight sim .com... and today i wa told of them and it was like wow i never heard of them, and then i went there and I see i did some reviews for them both, And I cant even remember i did them...

So some things i retained and some i have to start over again.. its just the terminology for the most part, but i have fdsv2 and gmax and some how i will get it all going Again and i do believe that simtech will rise from the ashes of her previous life into a much more solid and mature presence in flight sm then she ever was.

I have a few brand new never ever released Vb models here they are mapped and i just need to get them out to ya.

But 1st the site, i need to work on my new site.

Thanks guys for the suggestions good to see you guys are die hard like me.

Cfs2 forevr!
