Well guys,
After all these years your finally going to get your wish and get rid of me for good :) I am selling my entire Sim as a whole or in somewhat parts. However Pedestal Overhead FCU etc are all sold in respective sections. No Im not dying or in financial straights or having a baby just tired and moving on. This sim I have been building for almost 10 years total time collected alot of stuff for my sim and in that time made alot of great aquaintances, quite a few good friends and Im sure a few enemies :) Never the less its been a great journey. Anyone interested in picking up any items let me know otherwise Ill be putting it on the Ebay Auction Block and well see how it goes. Any offers please keep reasonable and send in private message. Thanks again to MyCockpit for there kindness, and wonderful commeraderie and to the ladies for their awesome support. Ill be around for a lil bit yet till all the sim is gone :( Talk soon

WOW TIM !!

I cant believe my eyes. I expected this from many people, but certainly not from you.

Hope you will still hang around for a while with us.

Good luck with whatever project you will be picking up now.

Although I didn't know you very well I heard a lot of things from you (We're one big family here on mycockpit ;-)). For example the "adventure" story with the thief that you overpowered so( don't know if this is the right word:roll:;))!! It was always funny and enlightening to read your posts and I think after 10 years of simbuilding you made a lot through with this hobby. You really became "a sim-building titan":p

I wish you good luck for the future and all the best to you and your family

Kind regards from Switzerland

Tim, buddy it has been an absolute pleasure. In my time in the industry I have met some really good people and shared many good memories. But buddy you were a cut above the rest and will be sorely missed by a lot of us and especially me. It has been a pleasure flying online with you and I wish you and your family all the happiness in the world

Keep in touch bud

Tim,

I don't know you as well as the others in this hobby, but I think it's a sad day for all of us that you're leaving! All the great discussions and stories that you tell and not to mention your honesty and direct way of putting things.

With your martial arts background, it has always played into the way you discussed things with us here and at FDS. Sort of the style that says "I can tell you what you may or may not want to hear, but if you don't like, I got the ability to back it up mentally and DAMN for sure physically!"

I know you said that you'll pop in now and then, but I'll miss the all so often debates you provide about how Airbus is bettter then Boeing. I think many people might have chose the Airbus side of the hobby on just the things you've said alone.

Finally, I do wish you the best for whatever the reason you're leaving the hobby for. Still, I do hope you miss it so much that you come back. Heck, maybe even trick everyone out and build a Boeing...now that would be a hoot.

I give my best to you and your wife and please do post from time to time.

John

Say it isn't so Tim!! :shock::(

Or are you just going to start a Boeing project now? (finally saw the light!!) :p

You've been a great inspiration to many my friend and will be sorely missed in the pit builders community. We'll especially miss you during World Flight (but hey there's a crew slot here for ya anytime).

All the best for your future and I hope we can cross paths again.

08-06-2008, 07:50 AM
I'm not believing my eyes..... NOW WAY, just CAN'T be.... this is a bad dream... Please TIM say it ain't so...... You put a lot of hard work into this baby, proud of what you've accomplished, made fantastic friendships. Can't see you leaving us all.... :( :( :(

Man Tim, I was hoping after our phone conversation the other day that you were just having a dry run and would eventually get the bug again, but I see now that you really need a break. Your un reserved attitudes and no nonsense approach to sims and life and all your stories will be missed!

Hey, instead of making a big comeback on the Boeing side, I would love to get you into a LJ45 !

Take it easy big fella, and keep in touch.

Hey guys,
Its me :) Ive been sitting up as you can see by the time trying to price this baby out and it breaks my heart with each mark of my pen on the paper.After all the amazing posts you guys wrote me thats the reason why I got into this hobby , because of people like you I will miss it soooo very much. When it was stated so well that we are a family I truly feel and felt that way. Guys like Matt O who guided me and mentored me was more than a friend could truly ever be, the hours I spent flying and learning from Rhys in the wee hrs of the night and tons of laughs over the mic, Nic and all the boys a WorldFlight the 1000s of laughs bantering with Maurice and of course the great posts from all of you as I watched your talents skyrocket, like phil and Nic, Eric, Ian, John, Stef ,Gwyn,Trev, Mike, Paul G and just too many to name which just motivated me more and more everyday. I could never say enough about this hobby or the fine men and amazing women behind or in front of those men that put their lifes blood into it. Thank you for making me feel so appreciated and welcome and most importantly missed. I am taking the funds from my sim dissolution and putting them into a new company Im building that will propell me to levels I have only dreamed of before so believe me, when I have hit that goal and it won't be far away I will be back with a sim 100x better (I hope) or 1/10th of most of yours whichever you look at it :) But never a Boeing lol Thank you again see you in the sky eventually.


Regards

Well Tim this place will never be the same without you, but you have to take care of yourself and your family that’s what’s important. I know I will miss the general banter and those "I can’t believe Tim said that" moments and the random phone calls at 5am;)


Personally mate, I do wish you all the luck in the world with whatever you try your experienced hand at next, but personally deep down I think that you will be back.<O:p</O:p

Hey Tim,

I still want to fight you at any sim convention, I've been studying Kung Fu Panda and have pretty much have got all the moves mastered. I'll bring your favorite punching bag (you know who, duh da da) from another forum for backup. I hope your "walk" will bring you back soon.

Good luck with your sale and new project Tim, I hope it all goes well for you.

I can't imagine life without my baby Boeing but I suppose parting with a scarebus would be alot easier! LOL! Only kidding, if it has wings and things it will always be a beautiful creation to me and I now find myself an Airbus TQ vendor, how did that happen to the Boeing fan? I expect you will miss the virtual skies more than you think and will see you when you come back to MC.org!

Someone in the FDS forum reminded me of one my old posts where I exposed Tim's elusive simulator. That one went into hiding for a few years but I'm pretty sure now it will be resurrected when Tim makes a return appearance after his new business ventures which I am sure are needed to fund the electrical bill for the full motion in his new sim. Here is a sneak preview.
You can run Tim, but you can't hide. :D

Tim... I know i have been away from the hobby for a little bit but just looking around today i certainly didnt expect to hear that your selling your sim and getting out. Just wanted to say good luck to you and your family. I know these decisions are tough and i cant say that i didnt toy with the idea from time to time.
