Phil Taylor Leaving ACES

[Slick Willy 2]

He is not going anywhere. He caught the FS bug and now he is free to show up in the forums and complain about pour fps while flying his PMDG 747 into Dream Scenery JFK w/ LDS 767, CoolSky MD-80 for AI @ 150% and ASX clouds @ extremly dense :)Good luck Phil, hope to see you around.Willy

I am disappointed to hear Phil is leaving. He was really on his game, which would have meant good things for FS11. I hope his replacement is just as good. He or she will have big shoes to fill.However, I would like to have been a fly-on-the-wall at his Intel job interview..Interviewer: "So, Mr. Taylor, can you tell us about a time you had to deal with customer complaints..."Phil: " ... I think you'd better pour me a stiff drink first..."Bryan

Well, we fought long and hard to encourage ACES/Microsoft to relax their restrictions on openness and a greater willingness to exchange ideas with our community, and by jove we got it in spades! We could not have expected in our wildest dreams back then that our prayers eventually would be answered in the form of Phil Taylor.Phil, you will be greatly missed. Your forbearance and understanding has few equals and has been an example to us all. Without your excellent contributions the FSX story to date would undoubtedly have been very different and I thank you for that.I wish you every success and happiness in this new and exciting phase of your professional life.Mike

So far I've believed nVidia's statement that Larrabee is "a GPU from 2006"... now it's up to Phil to convince me (and the rest of the world) of the opposite. Best of luck at your new position with Intel!

>>So far I've believed nVidia's statement that Larrabee is "a>GPU from 2006"... now it's up to Phil to convince me (and the>rest of the world) of the opposite. >>Best of luck at your new position with Intel!>I think they will probably re-work Larabee, and some parts of that technology will end up in processors down the line. But it will take time. I think someone mentioned here or at one of the other big FS sites about how Larabee technology would enter into cpu's that will come out around FS11-times. I think that is unlikely.Good luck to Phil Taylor! Wish he could have stayed longer though. He never really got to be in on a FS version from start to finish, if you think about it!RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT
