About Me
Been flightsimming for 46 years, started on-line activities with writing reviews for AVSIM end of the 90's, was Managing Editor of Simflight.com for a long time, then founded and ran FSAddon Publishing for many years. Retired in 2021 and now finally building my OWN home cockpit. Nina and I emigrated to Italy back in 2017 and are happily walking our little dog Bruno every day over the dusty countryroads in between the olivetrees.

Words I need to share with our Community
Francois_Dumas replied to Tom Allensworth's topic in Hangar Chat
Damn ! :-( Tom, we may have had our differences but this comes as a blow.To me personally, to AVSIM and to the entire FS community worldwide I am sure. No need to waste words, just wishing you all the best and wishing you an ending without pain and anxiety. Thoughts also go to your family. Good vibes sent across the pond, whatever that may mean. Hope it helps a little. Warm regards, Francois -
No, the area consist of two products... the phototexture and mesh, and the autogen to cover it.

I would recommend their Rhone-Alpes scenery really......... it makes the Alps come to life in a very credible way. I live in France parts of the year and can testify to the awesome quality of the products. Getting an entire region (WITH autogen!) will greatly enhance your reality level, and beats just getting a single airfield.

Computer Pilot Magazine
Francois_Dumas replied to maverick111's topic in Letters to the Editorial Staff of AVSIM
I must unfortunately confirm the last post here. I indeed left Computer Pilot (as did Pam, the lady taking care of US customers, and a number of the writers). I posted all this on the website - but not surprisingly, it has been brought down, and replaced by a rather bland and uninformative site. The forum is gone as well. I would advise AGAINST taking out new subscriptions at this time, even though I am supposed to get my back pay through those. There is currently nobody except Marc himself able to do anything on bringing out a new edition. Also the problems with shipping and the mess with the administration have not been solved either. I left because I simply could not afford to spend all my time for free on the magazine and website, but also because I did not want to be associated with the bad customer service that was and is being displayed. Not my style. I still hope Marc will find money somewhere so he can re-start the mag, but I am also afraid he'll have lost all the remaining goodwill by now - not to mention the great writers we had. Sadly, Francois -

Thanks Bob. Actually being the editor wasn't a problem, NOT being the publisher was more of an issue ultimately.- 16 replies

Dear Flightsim Enthusiasts, Readers and Customers, I would like to inform you that I have stepped down as Managing Editor of Computer Pilot (Magazine). As you know it is one of my hallmarks to deliver quality goods and services to clients. For the past 7 months I was actively engaged with Computer Pilot Magazine, its website, PR and forums and working day and night to get CPM back on its feet again for its new publisher. Unfortunately there were many unforeseen deterrents that were not under my control and to which I was unable to provide solutions. This was one of my 'dream jobs' and I am deeply saddened that it has now turned out to be impossible for me to continue at this point and under the given circumstances, where I cannot deliver the quality that I demand myself. I will 'return' to, and re-focus again on, my own business in the flightsim industry: FSAddon Publishing, SupportMyFS, AVClassic, WhyFly.aero and my web-design work. You can always reach me via the website and forum at www.FSAddon.com, our shop at www.Silvercloud-store.com, or any of the other many places on the Internet that I frequent. Also, my private email is at your service at [email protected]. Working on NEW projects already and excited about continuing to serve this wonderful global FS community of ours, I remain Respectfully yours, Francois A. 'Navman' Dumas

Computer Pilot Magazine
Francois_Dumas replied to maverick111's topic in Letters to the Editorial Staff of AVSIM
That's easy: I am the new Managing Editor (officially mainly doing the website, but reality often defies gravity, so I am doing the mag as well currently). Marc Goergen, owner of Maui Artwork in Luxemburg who also produce Flight! Magazin, is the new owner. You can read it all i this (and other) article on our new website here: http://www.computerpilot.com/the-magazine/what-happened/ And there's even an interview on-line at FS Breaks here: Hope this helps ;-) -

Thought, so, which is why I asked, but wanted to be sure. I am not really pretending to NOT be a commercial member :lol: -
