The SAAF Forum

I have come to a point in my life where I have to take decisions about my future.

This is just a note to all to say that I am retiring from aircraft designing.

I have been designing aircraft since FS98, and it was always a joy making it available as freeware. I will still assist and give advice to other designers with their projects from time to time, but will not actively be involved in the design of new aircraft.

I have made a lot of friends over the years, and we will remain “FS Buddies”.

I want to thank every person who ever assisted me with my projects, especially my friends in the SAAF who was always prepared to go out of their way to give photos or technical info.

Thanks for all the encouragement and positive comments and feedback. (also for the sometimes harsh remarks or commends, in a way that also encouraged me to do better)

To all my many friends and supporters over the years I say thank you.

It's sad to hear sir.Thank you for keeping the SAAF alive in the flightsim community and for allways making the installing of aircraft very easy with that self installer.My best wishes,happy flying.

Thinus doesnt know it yet, but he just went from making aircraft, to give advice on HOW to make aircraft!

All of the best, Thinus. your name will pop up on google searches for a long time still for many fs enthusiasts in searh for SA ad ons!

Going from "engineer" to "consulting engineer" is a promotion, not retirement!

Hi Thinus,

A sad loss for the FS community.

Thank you for your efforts and assistance.

Enjoy the break.
