Obituary: Eric Ernst

Indeed, the FS world lost a pioneer in the high fidelity desktop airliner sim genre, but most tragically, Eric left his family at such a young age...

I remember going to the local Micro Center and buying a box of the Wilco 767PIC for FS2000 and it was such an amazing simulation--the team led by Eric showed that a desktop computer can accurately model a complex airliner with a fully functional AP and FMC!  

Thanks to Eric and his team's efforts, we have a thriving hobby for learning and flying complex aircraft--making flying and learning aircraft systems accessible to everyone who dreams of flight.

Sad to hear.

Eric was the first to set a very high standard for cockpits.
For a long time, all other panels were matched against his masterpiece

Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024
System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

I am speechless -  my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

In May 1998 I programmed my first gauge ever for his Freeware FS98 767 panel. It was a pleasure for me to work with him. He was a perfectionist, and I have learned a lot from him.
