:-lolhow long has this been online ?if not long .. i've seen it :Di am currently in the process of browsing trough every single site from the home sim builders registry and I passed your site earlyer today. looked like another fine info source. though I'd prefer gathering most info & links on the wiki ..either way, good job :)i'm down to the last 62 out of 309 ... 'f cours not all have a site .. and not all sites mentioned work .. (someone should clean it out and add "http://" in front of all urls that doesn't have that cuz you end up having the url of the HSB + url from site which obviously can not be found :(all hail to error 404 :-lol

Thank you for giving us a simple, logical and succinct introduction to sim-building. I think that AVSIM should set a banner advising all new sim-builders to view your site first of all, then Mike Powell
