Rob,

I hole heartly agree with you, but i can understand why so many of our
members is quite silent (my self included) esp. about maintaining the
web as an editor of some sort - it alone requires a heap load of time,
some talent not only in words, but also in the graphics department - and
to complicate things even further - english might not be there native
language, so to sum-up this, i for one would love to help, but i fear
that i don't have the time - the english part i think i could manage
without to much screwing up, writing is not my strong side, ohh and
graphically im 3 years old - all this and i can barely find the time to
"play", as we must keep a fulltime dayjob (my guess is most of us are
IT-pros of some sort, and the IT business is not a 9-17 job) to support
our - how to put it- passion - dosn't leave much room for anything else.

Anyway i still think that we could expose the community a bit more, i
try to do my part, when ever im in a conversation about electronics,
mechanics, engineering or mathematics i try to put simpits.org in there
and sometime talk takes a spin and ppl find it fascinating what we are
doing - this is the least we could do - and to all of you that have a
homepage, why not go and download a patch and link to simpits.org its
simple and takes 5 minutes at the most.....

just my 2dkk

/Stig

There is so many talented people among this list group there is no need
to
list them by name we know all of the usual suspects by pedigree. When we
look at the other groups involved in simulation and the following they
have
attracted, I can see no reason why Simpits is not the most sought after
web
group and site for information on how to do. While it is not our intent
nor
our desire to be another site for the latest patch or skin for the
leading
flight simulator companies nor our desire to be the news agency for
these
companies we do need to make ourselves a voice in the community. We need
to
be able to have the companies that manufacture Sims allow us to have
what we
need to get our Sims to attach to them. We need the voices of all 200+
members and we need to show that they care about this hobby.
