I am not trying to make light of anything. This is simply just something to say before I fully leave. SweetD31 had made an absolutely stunning Custume Barracks scenery out of the absolute kindness of his heart in response to a request I made for Irish helipads. He put a LOT of time and effort into it, but ultimately something was wrong, initiated on my behalf. I have an unhealthy (very) fixation, if not obsession of scenery recreation being in the "geographically correct" spot, and I refused to control myself. I said it in a way that came off as very disrespectful, and ungrateful, letting everything slip by as if I was the victim. He and scianoir rightly called out my behaviour, and thinking about it, it did come off as harrassment, and honestly it was. I took a short break off of AVSIM but with my flightsim account I had for a month prior, I commented under his post where he put the file up for Athlone. I thanked him for putting in my screenshot and that I was sorry. What I refused to realise at the time was that it was stalky behaviour. I came back a couple days later, slowly responding every now and then on his thread, initially trying to pass it off as if it was something to forget about. I then said sorry a couple of more times, and without realising it, annoyed him even more. Eventually, he told me to stop. He then mentioned the disadvantages of volanta and why I shouldn't have it. I got very offended over it like a child and argued over it, annoying him even more. Upset, and in an unhinged state, I took the matter to reddit, trying to paint myself as the victim, using the AVSIM = toxic narrative as an excuse. He found my post, and rightfully called me disrespectful and obsessed. However, I still didn't catch on. I made more posts, trying to make people sympathise me. In an unhinged rant, I kept doing it for a couple of days more. That was, up until yesterday. I decided that I would take the time to read what he said. As I read it, it clicked. I was in the wrong. I turned an easily resolvable situation into an absolutely over the top one. Caring more about my feelings, I tarnished a friendship. Hence, that is why I make this post. I will completely deactivate from this point forward. There IS no more excuse. I whined over a very very unimportant detail, failing to realise what the world of FSX is truly like. I deleted the posts on reddit and my comments, and deactivated from Reddit. I am very ashamed of my actions and I messed up beyond repair. This is not a post to excuse myself, nor is it ingenuity. This is a full apology, that I know will not fix anything. I am here to say sorry. For harrassment, for stalking, for whining and complaining over absolutely nothing and turning it into an unhinged event. I have come to my senses, but realised it too late. I am beyond ashamed. I have since started to appreciate the scenery for what it is worth. A passion project, that was made by someone with historical connections to Ireland. And yet, I ruined it with my ungratefulness. That is all I have to say. I am sorry to all. If there was a 0.0001% chance of accepting this apology, I would properly vow to never do anything like this again. I stepped over the line, and must face my everlasting consequences.

oh yes, galway, gonna install that

Fair enough, keep forgetting that. To be fair, Galway is pretty much the main hospital and area I'd be flying to, or Dublin so it's fine. I can use Strandhill airport for that stuff.

Correct, yeah we are a bit off topic lol.

That does sound interesting, I just happen to use a flight tracker. Times have changed, technology has changed. No offense, but Volanta is sort of a GPS for me. Its useful for tracking my flightpath, a basic logbook of my flights, and sort of like an upgraded real time version of the map you can pull up. It is handy, but I respect your preferences.

Wait, what? Why am I being muted over saying that I want to use a flight tracker while playing FSX? The flight tracker has nothing to do with any past issues. Volanta is a great platform. Did I do something wrong? I genuinely don't see as to why we would fallout over that.

Mate I promise you, I can have the flight tracker and not b about stuff. It tracks my flight paths and stuff.

Sorry, I don't complain anymore. Also, it ain't a GPS app, its a flight tracker.

You're correct. I mean no harm. I keep using FSX, because my RTX 2060 hated MSFS, and I found the whole UI to not be easy to use at all. I liked how simple the UI and stuff was in FSX, easy right click to quick access things. I even initially only got MSFS because I was not sure how to solve the side by side BSOD on W11 at the time.

Hmm, there's not too many actually, you did athlone, Galway, other than the hospitals, and kylebrack, not too sure what else. Oh and that whining about athlone was because I was initially bugged by the exact geographical coordinates being slightly off but again, it's fine. The only reason being that since I live there, I would know exactly where what is. That's why I bombarded you with so many annoying details.

Not sure if I mentioned this, but is there any way to do Kylebrack heliport too? I did some Executive Helicopters repaints recently and thought it'd be nice to use the EXH base for it.

Also, hint hint, infinite fuel. My aw139 doesn't really have accurate flight dynamics with my weight and stuff and I can't have the proper amount of fuel without it impacting on the speed, making it slower than it should be.

No problem, sorry for my whining last time, I quickly got used to it and I am happy.

Oh my God, I FORGOT ABOUT THIS! OH MY GOD THAT'S SO COOL!

I know these were FS9 repaints but since I use FSX, I thought I would pop it in here. NOTE, THIS IS FOR THE VETERANS SINCE THESE WERE OLD! It just popped into my head recently about how I used to own a Garda Air Support AS355N (Nemeth AS350 repaint) and an Irish Air Corps SA342 Gazelle. These were on Hovercontrol but ever since switching computers and the site closed, they were lost to time. Or at least, I think they were. If anyone knew who the creators were or in general, do you know if these were published on other sites other than HoverControl or not? I would love to add these to my Irish collection, if not I can just try to repaint them myself. Oh, and I know there was an IAC EC135 but I found that in the Ireland Airports collection on AVSIM and Simviation. I'm not sure if it's the same guy, but the Garda EC135 creator (On AVSIM) is Cian Gallagher.
