    Re: Selling my sim / baby on the way!

    Hi thanks for all the kind words.

    The way I see it is; I know how to build a sim and make it work, I know how to interface and how to program things within a GA sim. My bedroom hasn't got enough for a sim, and a baby (and cot etc etc), so one has to go (and no its not the baby lol).....

    I have accomplished what I started out to do, and the actual reality of flying it was slim due to the fact from the very day one I had knowhere to fly it anyway. Unfortunately. I don't live with mummy and daddy and cannot afford to rent a bigger house, but when the day does come, you know I will have my own little sim area, and one day you will open up the GA forum and see 'my new sim' or something like that....

    Anyway, interest in my sim has a new owner!

    That's all I will say for now!

    GA or the Highway!

    Re: Selling my sim / baby on the way!

    Alex, congratulations. With all the ingenuity and craftsmanship behind the sim i've seen you produce from scratch surely theres a way to make the sim double up as a cot? A quick flip of the glareshield and pop him whilst you have a fly perhaps??

    Not as 'off the wall' as you might think, due to the fact if theres not enough room due to the LCD screens behind you can always drill a hole in them ... LOL

    Stay in contact with us all mate, and all the best from me

    Well, not very carefully anyway. wink wink

    But congrats of course, shame that this other baby has to move (can't you store it with mum and dad)? Good to hear you will be around.

    Lots of luck & happiness for the both of you.

    Re: Selling my sim / baby on the way!

    Congrats again Alex. Sad to see that hard work go on the block but Family before self. When you have one keep saying that over and over again. It's that little voice that yells at you as your walking through your local pilot shop.. hehehe. Shouldn't be to long though before you're back at it with your lad though. We're all just big kids anyway so I'm sure he'll have the bug before to long.

    On a serious note. Before you sell take lots of pics and document as much as you can about your build. This will do a few things. One show your son what you are capable of and 2 what he is capable of. I'm sure it won't take long for the bug to hit again..

    Best of luck on your sale.

    Re: Selling my sim / baby on the way!

    Hey Alex,

    Congrats for the baby man... I have two daughters and I know how you must be feeling... On the one hand happy for the baby, and sad for the sim... but you know what ? Beleive me, I've been there... The virus is in you man.. you will re-build sooner than you think so, even if it's in the bathroom LOL !!! You will find the way Alex...

    I know what I'm talking about... back in 2003 I sold my loved 6 meters RIB (boat) because I needed the cash, when my girlfriend then, my wife now, was pregnant too. On way or another I found my self soon with a 6 month baby and a RIB too When there is will there is a way

    Re: Selling my sim / baby on the way!

    Thanks for all the kind words,

    You all know me too well, you have seen me build quite a few sims over the years, with each getting a lot better along the way!

    My house is too small for all of us now, and I am looking at renting a bigger house by taking on more hours at work and maybe promoting myself up the career ladder (I have to now!).....

    We have this scheme called HomeBuy in the UK and is looking to get into this scheme and hopefully have a garden with either a shed or a garage, or even a loft.....im not fussed as long as it is kind of warm, secure and has power!

    But as I said....''im not going anywhere''.....Im always here, just with a pile of baby clothes, boxes of nappies and a dismantled cot where my sim usually is.......

    Thanks to all, thank you....
