I'm sure he's perfectly okay. But I'm a little disappointed we haven't heard @abrams_tank's insights into all the recent MSFS news and updates. I always learn a ton from his well-crafted posts and decades of experience. He's always been a daily visitor and contributor. But he hasn't signed on to AVSIM in over a week now. Again, we all need a vacation from time to time.

Maybe he has a life beyond flight simming.  😄

Just as likely, there is flightsimming beyond the AVSIM bubble.

Maybe he was loaded into a C5 and shipped off to a war?

the same goes for Capt. Pete, he was the first proud owner of a RTX 4090. 😒

I know the intention is kind, but I always find these posts strange; there are so many reasons someone may be away from AVSIM for a week or so... especially if you're not retired.

Some people take vacations.

I wish they'd leave some for the rest of us. I could use about 3. 😄

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.
There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Are we now being concerned if someone hasn’t been online here in a week ?

Life can be busy

Personally i'd be more concerned about grown up people having the time to be online the whole day every day.

It's called retirement....times two for some!

Maybe you should be more concerned about your own financial well being and lack of free time to be online all day everyday?

My employer takes good care of me. There is nothing to worry about my financial well being. Free time could be more but i'll have that when i'm old.

Hopefully you'll have some sort of stable health to be able to enjoy retirement and that free time, as it isn't promised to anyone forever.💡
