I'm aware that many simmers will have used Fly! at sometime. Richard Harvey's health is now extremely serious again and a post from him can be found at the top of the main Fly! user's forum.Many of us have such a lot to thank him for over the past few years.DaveT

I'm extremely saddened by this information, I wish Mr. Harvey a speedy recovery.Twister

Bumping this, as Richard's contributions have helped to improve all of flightsimming, and his strength and spirit are nothing short of inspirational. If you are of the praying type or not, he could use all the good thoughts you can muster. -Greg

There aren't many men who attempt to topple M$ from their crown on the Flight sim list and I'm sure he would have if the proper resources were under his belt,hope he fully recovers like last time. Goodluck Richard

Rich's situation should give us all a moment of pause. His life and the obvious lessons that can be learned contain one of great importance; that of perspective. THAT lesson is one that we should all take aboard.And if you haven't already, please contribute to the Richard Harvey Endowed Scholarship and help us fulfill an aviator's dream.Go here and please help: www.avsim.com/pages/scholarship.shtml

Rich Harvey is one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met. His input and work in the flight simming community has set the standard for many good things to come in the future. I hope he can weather this storm and find the strength to fight again.May God help him and his family!Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullerthttp://www.aavirtual.com/images/aav205_banner.gif[/img]

I'm very saddened to read this. My prayers are with Rich and his family. We can only hope for a miracle. Rich has contributed beyond belief to the progress of flight simulation. What we enjoy today in FS2002 and CFS3 is no doubt indirectly due to his team's endeavors in Fly! / Fly!2. I see his comments about Fly! (future versions) being discontinued by TRI. If there's any hope for the release of the proprietary code to another willing and able developer, we might see Rich's past work further enhanced in the future.Rich- if you read this, my thoughts are with you and your family.Bruce.

Our best desires for a soon recovery to a great man!Go on Richard! You are the best!Miguel

i've got no words for this....my thoughts are with you and your family...you'll be in my prayers every day,and i'll trust our Lord will do what's best...keep it up Richard,although i don't know you,i'm moved by your words,and i hope you'll recover soonblue skies mate,as that's where we all want to be.....be it real or virtual...Tom van der Elst
