There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

He is the master!
He had some incredible innovations. Before FSX was out, his Swedish biz jet had rain drops on the ground splashing around the plane (in rain only), tire mist from rolling on wet pavement, heat diffusion effect over the tops of the jet nacelles, glass panel instruments, ambient sounds, an iPod, clickable positions for locating back in the cabin area, and many more....
I love the dry cell battery and radio in the Pietenpol. That and his Stinson that came with it were awesome... Plain, out and out awesome... His house appears later, along with a hanger that was a tent. His missions are brilliant. (and the car, and the town with the Bijou theatre)
Awesome guy...

You forgot the 3d-light effects and the real reflections on the same model - he did things FS wasn't supposed to support regularly through his long tenure in office as "FS Designer Laureate"!
His FS9 Piper Cub and Travel Air packages get A LOT of mileage from me... (with the Sino Sweringen in a close third).
Yep, Bill did amazing stuff with his planes and scenery. I love them all. But my favorite is the Piper Apache package. The wheeled version has the dog and bird and the float plane has the turtle in the water....really adds a quaintness to the package that just feels "good" when you see it. The little farm runway with the Apache package has that mud hole it that gives a splash when you taxi through it fast enough....pure genius.

Brian
anyone else here do that?
Those pictures were the only flaws in otherwise legendary packages, IMHO...

mmmm....cheesecake. Y'know I could go for some cheesecake right about now:caked:
well, yeah... but I think the "Mormon" part was a little bit more important than the "young" part!
