Hello to all
Posted: 02 Apr 2013, 20:28
Well hello everyone how are we all doing?
Life for me has been pretty hectic the last few years. My kids are now 5 and 2 and oldest is at school. I am now a full time serving Home Office Police Officer in the UKs largest port town in the UK Felixstowe and am very much enjoying that. It is probably about 2 years since I have appeared here in the forums.
Well I pop in every now and then and have a look whats going on and subscribe to the MAIW facebook page so I always see whats going on. The group seems to be going from strength to strength and I am very impressed to see it keeping going after all this time. You should all be very proud of what you have achieved and I am very happy to have been a part of making these things happen in the past. It is nice to see the legacy of my models living on through users as well.
And this is where it brings me now, I am starting to miss it, and tonight when I logged on I started to feel the old buzz coming back. So much so that I booted up FSDS (yes I still have it) and had a look to see if I could remember how to use it. And I could a little. I dont currently have FS on either my laptop or PC but still have FSX and can easily get a copy of FS2004. I am missing alot of the old addons unfortunately but would be in a position to get back to basics.
And so I am thinking of whether I could make a come back of sorts. The reason I left in the first place was mainly due to family issues and having the new little one but was also based on massive burnout. I cant remember exactly but before I left I think I had something like 9 packages on the go at a time including my own aircraft models and trying to do all the textures AFDs, callsigns, textures and scenery myself. It took its toll on me and it all got to be a bit samey.
Maybe I can make a slow comeback to this as I do miss it, and you guys. I'll have a little look around and see what has changed and what is new and then see what I can come up with.
Regards
Nick
