Who am I?

If you’ve spent even a minute or two reading my blog posts, you might get the idea that I have a bit of an obsession with aviation and computer-based flight simulation. I’ve been designing and developing addons for Microsoft’s marvelous Flight Simulator series for a few years now, and the experience has only heightened my interest in the arena.

In fact, as a direct consequence of my simulated flying, I began training a couple of years ago for my real world pilot’s license. So far, I’ve racked up about 50 hours in a Cessna 172, and were it not for the fickle fall/winter weather in Portland, would probably have my slip of plastic by now. It’s my hope to climb back into the cockpit soon and get ‘er done.

In addition to winged pursuits, I’m also a writer. My second novel, Last Thursday, is in development. Now if I could just find an extra 12 hours in every day...

Hi Bill, I bought the Plum Island scenery and I was very pleased with it! I had to get a new computer, so I don’t have the the installer package, and the code to activate it. Could you help me out? Thanks, Ben.

Ben, the publisher you bought Plum Island from handles the re-downloads. Did you purchase from FSAddon, or Simmarket (or elsewhere?) – whichever one, I’d suggest you get in touch with them and see if they can remind you of your serial number and provide you with a link to download if available.

thanks,
Bill

Hey Bill,
I absolutely LOVE your plumb island scenery. my grandparents live on Plum Island and i drive by 2B2 all the time. your scenery is an exact replica of the real world scenery! and i love it because it doesn’t imact frame rates! i dont know if you have ever been down to North Andover, Mass to KLWM or Lawrence Municipal Airport, but i would love if you could make a scenery of the airport, using the same kinda program so it doesnt impact frame rates! thank you very very much for your awesome sceneries! good luck on the license, maybe i’ll see you up in the skies!
-Nick

Thanks, Nick! I love New England, and I have plans for lots more scenery up that way. In fact, I’m working on Nantucket right now, and it’s looking good. Expect more soon!

Hi Bill,
Really enjoy your work and delighted to hear you’re looking at more New England destinations. As a Brit I’ve felt right at home there on my two visits. As a GA/Bush flying fan Plumb Island was an instant choice for me and the fact that you’re looking at other airfields/strips in the region is really good news. You mentioned Martha’s Vineyard earlier too? Can I suggest a field near NYC and one up Bar Harbor way? That way we could enjoy some quality destinations in the region. Keep up the good work!
