April 3, 20197 yr RFP 747 was one of the classics of the early days of MSFS. Ralph's work was excellent and ranked up there with PIC 767. Ralph of gracious as well, allowing RFP 747 to pass over to freeware and still available here on AVSIM. Condolences and thoughts to his family and friends. Richard Boll Richard Boll Wichita, KS

April 19, 20197 yr Ralph was a giant in his day. 747 Ready for Pushback was one of the first real study sims for MSFS, and it remained popular long after it was out of date. Ralph was also deeply involved with Globe Cargo VA, which originally was built exclusively around 747RFP, but later expanded to other study sims as well. His work touched many people. Andrew Jones
April 22, 20197 yr Sad to read of his passing. I remember spending hours flying the AETI 742 classic almost 20 years ago, then the follow up RFP. Lost Eric Ernst just recently and now Ralph, two pioneers in tubeliner desktop sim.

July 14, 20196 yr Sad to read this . . . also my condolences to his family and friends! As an end user i think, he and the RFP team have set very early high standards in the world of flight simulations with the "Ready for Pushback 747"! Many thanks for all your work!
October 5, 20214 yr I visited Ralph at his home one time about 15 years ago and he introduced me to his 747. Great guy. We exchanged emails for awhile. For some reason I have thought of him over the last couple years. Sorry to hear he has passed on.
