It is well known that in the course of a life, there is a time for each thing. Moreover, although I am now in retirement, days still only have 24 hours.

Since I started my Aeropostale adventure

(http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4006991/Aeropostale_2014#Post4006991)

I have appreciated how it is less stress to fly without anyone shooting at you, only fighting mother nature with its winds, rains and fogs. This adventure will end towards the end of the year in South America.

While I will be there I plan to explore the Amazon with an amphibian plane from the sea in Brasil to its source in Peru. When that will be done, I have planned to fly the Mac Robertson Air Race of 1934 from London to Melbourne with my red "Manfred von Richthofen" (Tante Ju) JU 52. Once in Melbourne, I plan a tour of "Down Under" with a modern plane like the Lancair Legacy. This should take care of the year 2015 and after that I will probably open a new freight company in New Zealand where I dream to fly.

I also have campaigns waiting to be finished in my Total War series ( Europa Barbarorum, Rome 2, Stainless Steel (Medieval 2), Empire Darthmod, Napoleon Darthmod ) and this takes a lot of time.

I also regularly sail on week ends Virtual Skipper 5 regattas since years and am slowly making my way up in the world ranking, and fly often Condor Soaring.

I feel I have killed enough virtual people with MGs or bombs during the past 30 years on board all types of planes, from the F15 Strike Eagle III / Jane's F/A 18 / Falcon 4.0 F16 to the Bf 109 / P40 / P52 of IL2 to all the WW1 warbirds. I decided to end the hostilities and I am retiring from all combat sims.

I will probably make a flight here and there in WOFF or Rise of Flight, but nothing like participating in continuing events.

I will still be reading the forums and might post from time to time. I am glad I was part of the OFF/WOFF adventure and to get acquainted with the great crowd here.

I wish you all good flights and check your six !

PS : Olham I think you can take Alex Ackworth off the DID campaign result sheet, he has been promoted to an office job at the general headquarters. smile2

PPS : And if this was not enough, my son who lives a few hundred kms from me have asked me to play online with him "Elite Dangerous" when it comes out end of the year. I accepted also because Elite was my first game in 1984 on my Commodore 64 and it's like a jump back in time !

Corsaire, the one thing in life that is for certain is change. I wish you well in your other interests. Don't be a stranger, it would be nice to hear from you time to time.

Thanks for your msgs. Yes MFair, I have read and studied enough about buddhism to know that everything is constantly changing and that part of the way to happiness is to accept that nothing ever remains the same.

For the news, all my future adventures will be a few clicks away in the AAR section of this forum. But I will continue reading everyone's high deeds in the dangerous skies.

Ohhhh Elite!
Played the heck out of it on my C-64.
In fact I have a slightly updated version that used to play on windows XP.
Still got it saved on my hard drive. Wonder how it likes windows 7?

And thanks for the tip about the upcoming new version. Will have to Google it and see what it looks like.

It looks very good, I have been following the beta evolution since a few months.

Thanks Robert, it's been a pleasure to fly along with you all. As I said in a previous post, I will be only a couple of clicks away with almost daily reports in the AAR section of SimHQ.
I am looking forward to see what WOFF 2.0 will be like, but I can't take any more commitments in ongoing events.

Blue skies, corsaire! Funny, I recently started playing Napoleon Darthmod. I'm going through the tutorials now, and am looking forward to getting into the campaign.

Best of luck in your civilian flight sim adventures! salute

Thanks all for your nice msgs.

This is the day : I replaced my Logitech joystick by a Saitek Flight Yoke ! smile2

(In fact I keep two profiles because some planes I use are flown with a joystick !)

Corsaire, you already have so many flying activities that it's no wonder you feel you need to give something up! smile

I have barely enough time to fly my DID missions, but I also intend to be there when the new Elite is finally released. I've played the beta a bit, but was annoyed when they wiped my progress just before I had gathered enough money to buy a Cobra Mk III, so I don't think I'll be back until the game is ready.

May fair winds always blow your way. I also agree it is great not being shot at. I am also planning the Mac Robertson Air race. I have downloaded all the available AI planes, flight plans, and scenery. I have yet to get the Douglas DC-2. I am also busy hauling freight all over Alaska and Canada. I thank you for the mention of Air Hauler and FSX. I to drop by here every day and really cannot see a time were I would leave the fine gentleman of this forum. I will some day return to WOFF, but right now it is fun flying the wilds of Alaska. Good luck and keep in touch Corsaire. I will follow your adventures.

I join the others in sending the best your way; but as they said, please do not be a stranger. For all my few posts, I check in often (more often than I fly, certainly...) and I cherish the familiar "faces". Thanks for all your constructive comments,and I hope your wife doesn't pull a crumpled $20 out of her shirt any time soon! wink
