In case, anyone missed the post on the FSUIPC official forum:

His son John will take over the development of FSUIPC, so there should be a seamless transition.

Jay, you've just given me a momentary cardiac arrest! 😲
I didn't know Pete has a son. Thank goodness...

John Dowson sometimes responds to posts on the official forum when Pete is on holiday.

I wish Pete all the best in his retirement. May he have plenty of things to do.

Pete's retirement!? Does this mean we will have P3D V5 sooner?

V5 won't be released until Pete announces he is coming out of retirement!

Pete's been a stalwart in this community.  He'll be missed but I'm glad FSUIPC will continue.  Couldn't operate without it.

Bon Voyage Pete.

I wish @Pete Dowson an excellent retirement, and I hope Pete, you are not retiring from enjoying fight simulation - VR is gonna get whole lot cooler next year!!!

 

Glad to know about succession plan is in process

I think Pete deserves the Nobel Price for flightsimming !

Assuming you meant Nobel Prize and not Price, I agree. He’s done a ton for the community.

Thank you Pete. Your FSUIPC fulfills the same function in the sim as a clutch in a manual shift car. You CAN drive/sim without it but it sure as heck is clunky....
