I just heard the devastating news that Jon Patch, author of many wonderful Flight Simulator sceneries among which Vancouver Plus, passed away on the 22nd.

Jon was a wonderfully thoughtful person and an amazing talent in scenery design, with an incredible eye for detail and a tenacity to portray that detail into our flight simulator. As often in our 'on-line' life we will never know much of others in the hobby, just what we read and see on our computer screens.
But Nina and I had the pleasure of meeting Jon in Victoria on Vancouver Island back in 2007. An epic journey for us, with a chance to meet many of the FSAddon authors from the west coast !

Jon really was one of the nicest people and always extremely helpful and knowledgeable in supporting his products on the forums.

I miss him already.

Jon, Rest in Peace.

No! He just responded in a thread about uset scenery addon's in the OrbX forum. Wasn't aware he was sick? Or did something else aweful happened? Keep on flying Jon, I know I will be flying your great creations in flightsim.

So, so sad. And quite unexpected - at least for me. Jon was a great guy with a big heart, and always a kind word. I really enjoyed my exchanges with him, and although I never got to meet him in person, I counted him as a friend. He'll be deeply missed.

As everyone else here seems to be I am utterly shocked and saddened to hear this terrible news. I am a huge fan of Jon's work and his overall contributions to flight simulation, and while I did not know him personally he seemed to be a very knowledgeable, caring and generous person. I don't know what else I can say except we have lost one of the good ones.

RIP Jon.
