Wanted - for Christmas

[Cees Donker]

I have a few aircraft that I'd love to see in FSX.

That said, between losing a very close personal friend a few weeks ago, and just recently hearing of Paul Clawson's passing - has given me pause to consider about the brevity and beauty of life. Looking further afield to Syria, Iraq, and Africa, we see folks just hoping they'll live to see another day. In that context, my hope for a Lockheed Jetstar, an IAI Kfir, or North American FJ-4 Fury is pretty hard to really feel strongly about.

My hope? That the circle of friendship this community shares, be complete; that all members alive with us today be alive and safe this time next year, and that kindness, consideration, and collegiality continue as the hallmark of SOH.

Thanks,

So true DL. Well spoken!

As usual: More time and motivation.

 

[Dumonceau]

Agreed with DL!

But personally I would also love an FSX native B-26K Counter-Invader! or more Belgian repaints for given aircraft, although I must admit that us Belgians have been well served by the likes of Zsolt, Peter Watkins, our own Huub and some more!

Cheers,

Dumonceau

An EA-18G Growler, an E-2C Hawkeye and for some reason the Area51 scenery Ninja_Mouse worked on.

I'd like to see someone take FSX and give us FS11 - with complete, correct, and thorough documentation of SimConnect, and all the rest of the modules. I know - P3D is doing it - but I'd like to see a real - for the public - version I can purchase. Hey - a fellow can dream can't he?

AFA friends and their passing - "Life is full of Meetings and Partings" -- I think is a direct quote from Kermit the Frog (The Muppet Christmas Carol). I've parted with two friends this year at the relatively young age of 50.

And this *is* a great community!

Well, I spent a good portion of the evening thus far listening to 40's-50's Christmas songs with my wife, while we watched our 2 year old play like a madmen with his trains (he's more interested in trains than planes, but that is most certainly not for a lack of my trying to convince him of the superiority of the latter!). For Christmas, I would simply like many more evenings just like this one.

Well, okay... I would also like an up-to-date DHC-2!

Putting things in perspective

Well I posted my wishlist earlier, but do want to give my 5 cents on later remarks posted.

This year my friend's 8 year old son passed away unexpectedly, and he just loved my flight simulator. I was his "Buddy". I saw him the night before the tragic morning. It hit us all very hard and put everything back in perspective.

Life is too short for anyone, no matter what age, and we'd better enjoy every opportunity enjoying time with our loved one's, and take the time to remember those that are no longer among us.
Having said that, I am convinced that the one's we lost would not want us to stop doing what we love to do, and for this community it's flight simming.

So, keep those wishes coming, while we enjoy the time with our loved one's, and remember those we lost.

Okay, now I am feeling better.

Jimmy, I hope you will have many more of those wonderful evenings with your wife and son, whether it's with fixed trails or fixed wings!

As I'm Dutch we celebrate Saint Nicolas on the 5th of December on which the figure of Santa Claus is based. However my children are grown and when you have to think about what you would like to get, most probably means you already have enough.

So no presents this year, but a small gift to try to enable the people in the countries which have to face Ebola a bit of a normal life.

And a good health to you all,

Huub

On a lighter side, we actually fulfilled a whish already here.
I bought three sets of Saitek panels - switch panel, autopilot and radio panel - and delegate my son (six years) to operate them like a co-pilot during our frequent flights together (mostly with the lovely C-47). He loves that and is doing amazingly well, and asks thousands of "why this - why that" questions, which is always a good sign. Moreover, he educates the kids and the ladies at the day care center about aircraft and piloting now, and everybody there thinks I'm a real world airline pilot . Hehe.

These panels are great btw, in my opinion, and one gets accustomed to them very fast.


Cheers,
Mark

Here's more:

An FSX-native Mirage F1 - tacpack-enabled, of course.
An FSX-native EE Lightning T5 (well I would want this, wouldn't I?)
