It seems Herr Shreck has moved on. Blue skies my friend, you will be sorely missed.

S!

Jeeze! One of the nicest guys to play the game.

Had lots of off topic conversations with him through e-mails during the long, lonely years I was taking care of my sick wife. Helped a lot knowing there were sympathetic, understanding guys like him in the world.

I hope he looks her up.

FWIW, his work is sprinkled throughout all my productions.

I saw the post by his daughter on Facebook

Is this definitely right?

If so, many blessings on him. A great chap. Always ready to help. He made some great stuff.

In our EAW tradition: S!

Hello,

Very sad news ... so many flights and fights together
RIP Erik

What are some of Shrek's work? (Images)

I know in the past 2 years I tried to find and even asked for some Shrek material, but nobody came through.

The most imprtant stuff he did for me was the atolls for a Midway enhamcement - examples:









But he also did for example camels and other moving objects for Iraq.

He was on the team that made the B-24 flyable:



He was basically the team leader of the projects for droppable parachutist loads:



He created a lot of ground enhancements, including vehicles, soldiers, camels, trenches, and one he was most proud of I think were the motorcycles:



But I remember him most for his drive behind the Nachtjager project, created by the Tonester, Aussie Jim and myself, based on his ideas for a "whatif" scenario based around the German wonder weapons. He was also had some mothballed projects that included a "Japan 1946" scenario and an update for Korea.

But Shreck's greatest contribution in my mind, was in guiding people. He encouraged many, many people to go beyond the basic game, he guided them on how to upgrade, he instilled ideas in others to inspire some great mods. He encouraged me and gave me fresh perspective during the drive to port the game to the larger 1024x648 format we use today. He was a friend when you needed one, in real life, even though you had never been close enough to shake your hand, he treated you like a dear friend. On a side note, he was one hell of a guitar payer too.

FWIW, it you play ETO2015, which is the standard European Air War set up but with massively enhanced targets, ships and railroads, you will come across pretty much all of Eric's TMODs.
