Every day is always the same, I came home from work or my studies take my position in front my powerfull computer, fire up my Flight Simulator, select my favourite aircraft and... well the rest of this story almost everybody that loves fly must to know very well.
I have fascination for FS and every day becomes worse due the fact to find more and more bealtiful aircrafts available for download on the web. Great we already have the aircraft to fly but wait, all good plane needs a good panel (for a real pilot a nice panel is very, very important!) and so when we talk about good panels the story is a bit different. It�s different because we have great freeware planes but few really good panels available as free to complete our aicraft.
Well, pilot as true pilot do not fly it�s plane from the �spot plane view�, place of the pilot is in the cockpit and it�s the place where there are a lot of information, clearness and beauty too. Well seems like this basics items were forgotten or even exclude from our panels.
But you could think that I�m very sad about this! Well you�re wrong because I�m still happy, I�m happy because as everything in our lives there is always the other side of this. The other side are the guys that still dedicate your free time to make our aircraft really airborne and doing this so well that we only remember to take a look in the outside of the aircraft when the plane is parking on the gate or the aproun area waiting for the next flight.
Along the years as FlightSimmer more and more I�ve discovered that inside my plane is more important than outside (evident that I �love� to make the external visual check of my aircraft, just in case...) and I realize that my wonderfull aircraft isn�t anything without a good panel.
Unfortunately nowadays this well done panels aren�t available all for free. Well I don�t think this is wrong WHILE I can see people or even group of people that still do the same well done work for free. Simply for the pleasure or even the challenge to see their great panels downloaded for thousands on the web!
I think everybody have the virtual aviation as a hobby and as a hobby we don�t earn money with this! I don�t think people must to pay so high values for the pleasure of the hobby. Following this kind of thinking I believe that we find groups that still do this pleasure a hobby and a well done work for us. I�d like to invite you FlightSimmer to pay this guys for their efforts and hard work with our more sincere recognition and thanks.
Thanks to everybody that today more than ever still doing our Flight Simulator really fly as high as they can.
Thank you FPDA.
