mfrank14 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My deepest sympathies to Jim's Family, friends and all of the ED team. I never had the fortune to meet him, but his contribution to the flight sim community is not lost on me. I feel we have lost a standard bearer. Thank you for all that you have done Jim and may you rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ells228 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 A few of us will be going to Duxford tomorrow around 11am to pay our respects to the TFC colleagues there and to remember Jim so fondly during the Legends air shows and TFC functions I had the privilege to attend with him. Will be nice if anyone can make it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The simulation's world is in mourning today. It was a pleasure to meet and exchange some words with him in the "Mondial de la Simulation". Accessible and discreet to wear it behind the scenes many simulators today. I comfort myself by saying that there is probably still a lot of things that this man with a big heart leave us all. What better for you than to join the sky. Rest in Peace Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heli Shed Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) A wonderful man and will be much missed. I was saddened to also hear that his beloved wife, affectionately known as 'dottie' had also died, last year. Jim, thank you for the personal support you gave to me at RAF Duxford in 2010 regarding starting the 74th. The encouragement, gratitude and hospitality on that special day was humbling. On behalf of all members of the 74th, we offer our sincerest condolences to his family and friends of TFC and ED. Much Missed. 'T' see you in the FRV Jim.

Stormin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) RIP My Friend I am shocked and saddened at the passing of my good friend Jim Mackonochie. It was in 1995 when Jim who, while working for Mindscape in the UK, first brought the possibility of SSI publishing an Su-27 Flanker simulation developed by a Russian developer named Eagle Dynamics. I was working at SSI on wargames and simulations and met Jim who was incredibly enthusiastic about both the sim and the developers. That was the beginning of a great friendship and working relationship. Jim went on to continue to work on Flanker 2.0, Lock On: Modern Air Combat, and the continuing line of outstanding simulation products created by The Flying Collection/Eagle Dynamics. Jim was a passionate professional who appreciated good friendship and was definitely one of our best Ambassadors in the air combat simulation genre. I have had the great pleasure to have experienced the hospitality and kindness of Jim and his family when I've traveled to London. I have many fond memories of being with Jim at his home in London, at Duxford attending Flying Legends, at E3, in Moscow at Eagle Dynamics and "out on the town", and in San Diego. The world is suddenly less colorful and a bit less interesting with the loss of a man like Jim Mackonochie. Rest in Peace my friend.
