Thank you, MFair for Sponsoring OBD Software

Posted on the main www.wingsoverflandersfields.com page is the announcement that Mark Fairchild is now officially sponsoring OBD Software so that they can continue to develop flight sims. Mark, you are one of the unsung heroes of this community and thanks to your generosity, we can all look forward to more great things from OBD Software. You never seek out recognition for all that you do behind the scenes...but this one is for you, sir.

"...sponsor us in development of our next project."
Not that I am not grateful to MFair, and happy for OBD, but what does that mean in regards to WOFF since I have zero information as to this "next project"?

MFair;

I would like to thank you greatly for having offered the support. We will all greatly benefit from this I am sure. Cudos to you Sir!

Best Regards;

Wow, this is great news Mark.

I would like to extend my thanks also.
I will be patiently awaiting for news of the "next project".

p.s. did you see the PM from me back in October?

Nice one MFair..im really looking forward to OBD,s next sim.

The very best of luck to all involved

I am unfamiliar with MFair but for his occasional posts, but a nod and gentlemanly salute are apparently well deserved...

My hat off for you MFair, thank you very much indeed.

New project must be a bit into its development to get a sponsor already.

That's fantastic news! Hats off to Mark!

Thanks MFair you are truly an outstanding gentleman.

Well done, Mark!!

Many of us have benefited from Mark's generosity in the past; I continue to be humbled by the good people on this forum! As Hook would say, "Good form, Mark!"

Thanks folks. The WOFF community is the heart and soul of the sim to me. There are a lot of people who have given a lot of time and energy to make it the most fantastic WWI flight sim to ever come down the pike. I won't even try to name them as I would most likely forget someone. If you have hung around here any length of time you know there names. Just happy to help in a way that I am able. The spirits work in strange ways.

"Gentleman"? Surely you jest! I have been called many things but that ain't one of them.

Here is to OBD and whatever gem they come up with in their new project and whatever additions to WOFF UE that come. I remember thinking after WOFF3 that if they stopped then I would be a happy camper. They have come through since then in spades.

Wish all in the USA a Happy Thanksgiving and everyone else fair skies and a good wingman.

Mark

Here! Here! to that last sentence

This is some very cool news. Hopefully take some pressure off the devs. Thanks to MFair.

Cool beans. Thanks!!

MFair Class act..Big S!

Mr Fairchild,

You sir are a Gentleman of the highest regard and thanks to you OBD can live on and carry on.
Again a hearty thanks from Pol and myself.

When we started out 10 years ago we certainly never thought we would still be here 10 years later.
Here is to another 10!

WM

God speed.

Well said WM. A gentleman of the highest regard. Thanks again!

.

Salute to you Mark, you serve as a stellar example of generosity and selflessness to us all. Well done my friend.

.

Wonderful way to say "Thank you!" to a small team with a looong breath, Mark - I salute to you!

And your good deed even had another positive side-effect - the friendliest post I ever read from Winder!
There is hope - well done, Sir!

Yeah I am taking a break - first one in a looong time so no pressure - enjoy it whilst it lasts....



WM

Does "officially sponsoring" mean "financially underwriting"?

edit: I guess Winding Man's post today answers the question.

A very big thanks MFair. Your generous contribution will make a lot of flight simmers happy this holiday season!

And OBD has to wear MFair patches on their official developer uniforms.

An "MFair" patch? What a good idea. I'd buy a half dozen and stitch one on each jacket I own! Lou?

I'd like to make a request for any of the skinners out there. Would someone please make me an "MFair Rock-N-Roll Ranch" emblem (as shown above) skin for my Sopwith Pup? I would love to fly and show my solidarity and appreciation in game. If need be, I will pay for the time involved.

Here y' go, Hellshade. Pay? Just keep those videos comin'.

I was looking for a skin for my Pup that contained the emblem in game. Is there an attachment here I'm not seeing? My apologies if I am missing the obvious, sir.

Sorry folks, my ranch logo can only be used by OBD, BWOC members in good standing and WWI flight sim loonies. I think I just covered everyone here!

Nope. No missing attachment. No 'obvious' being missed. Just a mere misunderstanding. I thought you needed a 'cleaned up' version that could be used in a skin. I've done a few skins, but they are not my strong suite. Also, skins are highly personel, and, which aircraft would you be wanting it applied to? If you could fill in the blanks, I'll happily give it a shot.

edit: Just re-read your reply. A skin for a Pup? Sure. Any particular one?

Thank you, Mark!

54 RFC Squadron would be great. That's who I usually fly with. Thank you!

Many thanks, MFair.

Well done!
