Its so cool to see the well respected community "elders" such as Carl surface now and again. S!
The tales they could tell about developing highly detailed simulator software titles to a rabid audience of diehards and fanbois would make great reading. Maybe when they get old and nostalgic they might share their memoirs. Hope so.
I too want to add my congrats to TFC/ED, looking forward to learning all over again.
My visa card is primed and waiting.
Cheers!
