This a terrible shock. Dave only posted an update to his Vietnam scenery a couple of days ago. I was about to send him an update to one of his World War One downloads when I saw this.
He was a real gentleman and will be missed.
John Fortin (Polar_Lion or Blood_Hawk1) has some downloads on Dave's site which are not here on SOH. I'll preserve them pending a decision.

For now, respect and support are more important than a website.
So sad. We lost a friend in very similar circumstances. Praying for peace for his family.

This is most saddening news.
It would be a little over two decades ago I came home with CD's labeled CFS & FS98, and pushed them each into the computer. I'd swear that steam was coming out my ears in the resulting program play.
About a week or two further on, in a moment of great revelation, I discovered a growing and dynamic online community of flight sim enthusiasts. Dave "No Dice" was already well installed as a solid and recognized creative personality in the social terra firma of CFS.
That's TWENTY years ago now.
He was always a positive creative contributor, and a consistent self motivated archivist, but most importantly, a happy influence on those he encountered.
This is one of those signposts that denote the rapid passing of time. It does go way too fast, and with it, the most precious souls flick past us and are quickly gone as the tides of change manifest themselves with the most impersonal and irresistible passage.
So now we add David Mulcahy to a growing list of those cherished, those who are missed forever.
I extend my sad condolences to his family and loved ones, and raise a toast to the man.
We'll miss you, No Dice.
Here's to great altitude, great tailwinds, and great visibility for you.
Fly high sir, fly well.
We'll miss you.
Cheers!

Bit late opening my emails today - absolutely stunned to read that No Dice has had his last roll of the dice - a truly generous spirit leaving a gap in the ranks - my thoughts are with his family
RIP Dave

Very sad indeed. He will be missed. That almost makes me feel better. To be missed.
Sorry to hear this. It seems we've lost quite a few senior statesmen over the past several years...Akemi, kelticheart, and Collin (the ship builder), to name a few, and now Mr. Mulcahy.
I feel very distraught over this. Dave was A1. It's really too sad for words.
The free flight site is a treasure for the community. I hope you can save it Rami.
Good morning,
Just a quick update...the SOH staff has made a full backup of the files on The Free Flight Site, and we are discussing the next steps, including hosting the entire site at SOH. I will let you know when the final choice and solution has been made.
I'm sure Dave appreciates all of our collective condolences. :encouragement:
That is very good news indeed, Rami.
Thanks for the update!
MR
may he rest in peace.

My belated sympathy and condolences to the family and the community.
RIP Dave

Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the continuing condolences, I'm sure David would have appreciated it.
It looks like the end game is that the site will end up being hosted by SOH, we may have it done in the very near future. :very_drunk:
Thanks for your effort Rami. The Free Flight Site will be a great addition to SOH.
Cheers,
MR
Good to hear Rami, thank you for the update.
