June 15, 20187 yr http://www.alpilotx.net/2018/06/15/alpilotx-net-saying-goodbye-to-active-development-and-the-community/ I'll keep it short: Thank you so much for all your hard work that made X-Plane better, and helped it quite a bit from being an underdog to becoming a well respected sim!

June 15, 20187 yr I wasn't expecting that! When I read the title, my first thought was that he was moving to P3D. 🙂 I think such a big news deserves to be in the main XP forum. He's been one of the most important contributor to the XP community, and he played a part in the success that XP is enjoying today. Thank you Andras, and good luck for your life!

June 15, 20187 yr Wow! What a message! I think we will find out what this means only in a couple of months or even years. Thank you very much, Andreas, for all that you did for our hobby! All the best for the future! DocBird P.S. I think that if all of us who enjoy your work would donate (only) 10 Euro or Dollars (well worth 50 or more) you could enjoy a drink or two 😏.

June 15, 20187 yr Alpilot and Tonywob absolutely define just how hi-fidelity freeware can be, when there are people prepared to commit to staggering amounts of work, given freely to their community. I wish Andras the very best for the future, and a huge THANKS!

June 16, 20187 yr Moderator I've moved this to the main forum. This is very sad news but after spending so much time developing lately I can understand completely the need to just step away. I hope Andras will still chime in now and then, and I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to thank him for all the work he's done over the years.
June 16, 20187 yr Andras, just a big THANK YOU! for your invaluable contribution. Flightsimming since 1984 (subLOGIC's time) I tried all versions of X-Plane (and always expected the next one to become the big thing). Now switched from P3D to XP, and I'd probably never changed without your addons. Really I love it more than my complete ORBX portfolio and will stay with it. My best wishes for all your (maybe less PC-bound) years to come . Fritz
June 16, 20187 yr Andras, a big "Vielen Dank!" for all those countless hours spent on improving our beloved simulator. I enjoyed every new iteration of your mesh and it also helped my efforts of scenery development tremendously, as usually those meshes showed streets at a much higher fidelity and accuracy than the default global scenery. I can understand your step - I have taken similiar ones in my past, I still remember me going "cold turkey" on EVE online when my first child was born... Anyway, good luck for the future and stick around! Cheers, Jan
June 16, 20187 yr I read his goodbye earlier and didn't have the heart to spread the news. Although I fully understand and respect his choice, I can't help but thinking this is sad news for the community. His contribution to X-Plane has been enormous and will count for the years to come. I'm into geographic software myself, and his website has been an amazing resource. Andras's work mainly on free software is also the main reason we have a Linux version of X-Plane. Andras, Thanks a lot for everything you've done. For the inspiration. For the world. Thanks to Albert Laubi as well, although I hope he continues his excellent work on the textures. Thanks for letting the email link alive, you probably don't remember, but I still have a few things I promised to show you about the tiling shader. Cheers, Pascal
June 16, 20187 yr A Very Big Thank You! to Andras for he's dedication to making X-Plane what it is today, together with the work of others like our AVSIM / W2XP Tony.

I wish him all the best life has to offer...my take (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) is that he just looked at his latest lottery ticket...checked the numbers...and now, his interests lay elsewhere! 🙂 Hey, Andras...I hope my little joke actually holds some truth!!! 🙂 Thank you for all your time and contributions to the hobby. I see your work, each and every time I take one 'up there'.... "Over 'n out"....and cheers! Edited June 16, 20187 yr by Sesquashtoo
