Greetings Aviators,

 

We are please to welcome Mike Johnson of Lotus SImulations to end our week.

Mike worked in the video gaming industry for ten years prior to starting FS development, including stints at Electronic Arts and Namco. Mike holds both US and Canadian PPLs and has been a flight sim junkie since the age of twelve, starting out his flying career with Flight Simulator version 2.

Thanks! I hope I didn't bore you guys all to tears or anything though. :) Speaking into the "void" when you can't read peoples' faces at all.... that's really hard! I had no idea.
