I have enjoyed every classic aircraft released immensely! Much appreciation to everyone's efforts involved with these models. Thank you all! NC
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.

Although I am 6 or 7 years younger than Paul, I still plan to continue in the FS creation for a few more years. I have some freeware projects in mind. An anecdote I remember is that when Paul sent me his first email, I was starting a seagull-winged Monocoupe 110 ... not to mention the Electra L12-A which I would have liked to build in October 2024 when the Model 75 were released and a new "Rhinebeck Airport" which can be achieved for MSFS ...
To conclude, I would like to thank Paul, Gil and Jim once again with whom I have not seen these 2 years pass and whom I now consider as my friends ... on the other side of the Atlantic or even near the Pacific.
I also don’t forget the whole TEAM of testers ( I don’t want to name all of you because if I forget one ...) who were patient, who tried to help us as they could and if these planes pleased the buyers, they have a big part in these successes.
Thank you all.
Way back in the last century, during the FSX days, I was flying GAS's Stearman. I had read somewhere where biplane pilots used to land by listening to the singing of the wing support wires. They could guestamate the airspeed by the sound of the vibrating wires....
In July 2023 when Paul send me a first e-mail (via FSDeveloper), I was surprised, honored and finally worried. Worried about being able to meet the challenge he was asking me.
The two years spent in the company of Paul, Gil, and Jim were very very very interesting. I learned more about FS in 2 years than during the past 15 years. There are a good dozen new technical subjects that we have implemented, subjects that I did not know and despite everything, Paul fully trusted me in their realization

Please let us mourn. Today received an email from a “developer” who asked if we were going to open source our models for conversion to MSFS. The ask tells me that this person has no idea what feels like to leave a community after 20 years, only looking to make a name for themselves on our work. This is how far our community has fallen. Gawd the body still lives and the vultures are sitting on the branches.
I of course always preferred to buy directly from GAS when the planes were available so that they'd get more of the money, but in this case, since it looks like website purchases are already shut down, just flagging you can get it still at:Hi Spad
Have you suspended sales from the Golden age website already?
The only plane I don't own is the Super Stearman for MSFS and was hopeing to get it before its too late.
