As the last boxes are filled and the empty rooms seem larger, I looked at the faded X-Plane8 posters and the threaded carpet….
I sniffled and held back the tears….I have only been here since the 8th February 2012 and have only done a miserly 81 posts in that time.
Since this blog has been running between us we have processed 11, 767 pictures and published 946 posts since Simon W posted the first one on the 17th May 2010 and he got one comment!…. from Simon W?
We have done over 50 categories, 8,074 comments and 252 people have tried to spam us…
Above all we have brought you everything and anything about X-Plane and other simulators, you certainly can’t say that Flight Simulation is boring and dying…the numbers certainly disprove that.
And the main thing is that it changes, life changes, people come and people go but the flying goes on – somewhere out there someone is at 25,000ft and is worrying nervously if his destination ILS frequency is tuned in correctly, that is the just life of a simmer.
But the final reality is that this blog would not have survived without you…
We are able to carry on the good deeds because you have been on the journey with us and shared the good, the bad and sublimely ridiculous moments together.
The one thing we have in common is the love of simulation and a deeper love of flying and the one thing above all else is the shared community that we call our own, we live on every point of this Mother Earth and yet we know each other as friends that look after each other and help the ones that want to join us and that is something in this continuing nasty world of which we can be proud of.
Don’t forget to bookmark our new address and we will surely be glad to see your face (or comments) over at the new location, at first it will be the same but we do have big plans to give you more as the year goes on…
Just a last note that we have to lug over all the boxes and set up the gear so a day or so will be needed before we can go live..so if you see some strange things over there till then just relax and go and get a drink! …and a pizza!
Is the new address…

Ha, that’s just our blank domain before the Blog contents are transferred. Until you see our official ‘We’re back up’ message, you’re just wasting time peeking. There won’t be any major new features…yet. Unless Google or Facebook want to sponsor us!
Happy trip my friends ! I just get more and more interested in this friendly blog, checking it out about 4-5 times a day !
See ya soon
Whoa, I was little bit frightened for a second when I read “Goodbye … blah .. blah”
But a move up to a new level is something to celebrate! I am very very curious what you guys are up to
! So, good luck and happy landing at the new site!
And hey, I might even have one of the first “news items” for your new site in my pipeline (almost done with one of my little projects – which took much longer than I expected … for many not foreseeable reasons … internal and “external”).
Will the new blog run with 64-bit?
))
Hahaha good one!nah, but you will only be able to see it using a WINDOWS PHONE 7!
ouch!
Shucks! I was wanting a sneak peek
Congrats on the new website!
Seems like the css for the reply box needs to be fixed … I’m currently seeing dark on dark colors for the “notify me of …” section. Anyways nice to be on the new site.
