He may well have...... rumors have it that he lost his old PC XT and had to find a sponsor to get himself a new 'Personal Computer'. With the old one, the old recipe also vanished......

Hi Garry ! Thanks.... for keeping the fireplace burning. Life tends to throw curve balls at us from time to time. So be it, I'm still around indeed :razz: Hopefully with some more time early next year to pick up where I left off last February, when I made some inroads with my Sketchup doodling !

The answer to EMathesson is : I am TRYING! :???:
Unfortunately 2011 has been a disastrous year for me. You will have noticed my absence from the Emma Field forum (and elsewhere). I had not one but THREE computer crashes, and 3 backup disk crashes to go in between them. Statistically it is impossible. But it happened to me.
Add to that my total lack of time from further learning modeling, due to trying to stay afloat financially and working around the clock 7 days a week..... that sort of put Emma Field further behind in the planning. Real life interferes once again.
But, giving up is not in my vocabulary...... and I resisted the offer from Aerosoft to buy the Emma Field brand from me.

Hi Cecil, good to 'have you back' :grin:

Hi all,
No, it is not intentional. Although I have to tell you that my funds have long been depleted and only 3 or 4 individuals loyally donate a few $'s every year to support me.
The FSHost session runs on a server that for some reason is 'restarted' from time to time, thereby killing all running processes.I have long been battling the ISP over this, but to no avail.
I ALSO do NOT have enough time anymore to visit here regularly..... the economic crisis has hit pretty hard and I have to divide my attention between 'hobby', FS work and other ways of making a living. Not complaining, just explaining.
SO..... if you want to draw my attention regarding the server, then PLEASE use the DEDICATED FORUM for that on the FSAddon website. THAT is where I look many times a day now that I have left simFlight.
http://fsaddon.eu/wpfsaddon/?page_id=1055/fsaddon-multi-player-server/
The SERVICES PAGE is still there as before, but the links got changed after restoring from the hackers last year.
Services page can be found here: http://fsaddon.eu/wpfsaddon/?page_id=7
I'll have a look to see what seems to be the trouble THIS TIME around..... *sigh*.... I wish I could run my own server and Internet connection, that would solve a lot of these problems ! :rolleyes:
Oh, and if you DO have a few bucks laying around and use my server, then HERE is the PLACE TO DONATE...... That would REALLY REALLY help us a lot. Thank you !

Hi Jeff,
unfortunately other work has kept me away from the Emma Field website. I wish I wouldn't have to try and make a living and could spend more time on the 'hobby aspect' of FS :-( I'll get back to it as soon as I can.
Kind regards,
Francois

Welcome back :-)
Yes, in spite of a few major setbacks, Fritz is still here ;-)
-
Hi Phil, yup, such things happen ;-) Whatever you do, hope you are healthy and happy!
Be well,
Francois
-
Just drop me an email if things need resetting, because I am not often looking in the server or on these forums anymore :-(
Bit of a time crisis currently.
-
Hi Gary, I think I am still running Server version 2.0 on it.
-
The 'regular' Emma Field MP Server should also be working again by now.....
-
Although you won't see me around much anymore here, Nina and I still would want to wish ya'll a great Holiday Season !

The Dollar always wins, string him up! :angry:
Lets not talk about ethics. Obviously with FS developers that would fall on deaf ears........

Is this the Toucan again ????

Hi Bill,
this time we'll just fly OVER Vancouver Island on our way to some of the Alaskan cities. But tank you kindly nonetheless. We truly enjoyed our last meeting and please give our regards to your lovely lady !
Will be working on Emma again after we return :-) Will use BIG letters !
-
I see an 'X' amount of carrots in my future......... :-)
-
Thanks for your kind support, folks.
And I'll take all the help I can get, once ready to open up.
But first...... going to visit the REAL Emma Field once more in October. We'll be leaving on our next US trip soon. (Again) partly business, mostly pleasure... visiting Fantasy of Flight for a photos shoot of our next FSX aircraft, flying to Alaska (YES!!!), and IN Alaska, visiting Misty Fjords for real, then flying down for a few weeks in California.....
Fritz is goin' flyin' ! :-)

.... elsewhere.
Yup, that's right. I am totally overwhelmed by all the phony registrations on the (Joomla powered) Emma Field website and will close it down soon for that reason. Already took off the registration and log-in form.
The forum will probably ALSO be moved (read: set up new), because I am no longer Admin here at simFlight..... and being a control freak, I like to be in control :)
I was in the process of building an entirely new site months ago, before I got sidetracked by having to keep my business alive, and will continue building that site.
Still no news from Bill regarding any progress on Emma Field X. He's been traveling himself and I imagine he hasn't been able to spend much time on it.
And to some of the customers who get very upset by NOT having the X-version on their disks yet: sorry, but for you it is just a nice to have. For me personally, it is much more than that. So there. :wink:
I am still determined to get 'a' Emma Field X published at some time, even though Andras Field will open a subsidiary in the US as well. I sank more than 7 years of my time into it AND a fair amount of money.
Mathijs and Andras took the Emma Field concept and continued very successfully on it. Congrats to them. But we don't want them to rake in ALL the money, now do we?? :wink:
I'll keep you posted on further developments.
Yours,
Fritzois
