I have been flying sims since the 80's. My first one was Microsoft's FS 2.1. For you young folks, that was a chore with no hard drive, the operating system in one floppy drive and the game in the other. And they were really "floppies" (5 1/4 inch). Basically, if you saw two parallel lines, that was a runway. Look how far Sims have come. 3.0 was so much better that we thought it was amazing. We didn't have a clue what it would develop into. And we were programmers.
I flew with Bob Holland on NJ Hops for quite a while until I just didn't have the time. Now Bob's gone and, looking around, I found the pond. Seems like a nice place. Thanks for the welcome. For those that have asked, Spuds is a nickname I have been stuck with since the old Budweiser commercials with that ugly dog. Since we both had the same last name, "Spuds" sort of stuck.
I am from Texas, born and raised, and live in Houston.
Mike
