What does IRIS stand for?

**dswo** · December 18th, 2009, 03:57

I'm working on a combo review of the Aerosoft and IRIS F-16s. What does IRIS stand for? I looked in several places on the website, to no avail.

We all know how it ends, we've all seen Dances with Wolves.

My first thread I read this morning and you got me laughing, thanks for giving me a good start to the day.

Hmmm....Iris, so many meanings, I am now curious to find out which meaning fits the bill. Got to be something to do with the radar guided missle.

HAHAHAHA!!

how insightful and true.

**CBris** · December 18th, 2009, 07:00

I already know how it ends...

...the credits roll.

No?

Anyway - I dances with paintbrushes

**CBris** · December 18th, 2009, 07:02

Anyway, back to the topic - why not ask David? Drop by the website and PM him.

Probably something mundane - as in he named it after his maiden aunt or something...

**Nick C** · December 18th, 2009, 07:07

If you are writing a review of an Iris product, would it not be best to ask the David what his company name stands for?

My biggest criticism of Avsim reviews (well really just about my only criticism), is when the reviewer makes presumptions rather than contacting the developer for a definitive answer.

I'm sure this won't be the case with this review of course.

Cough, cough.

I hope it's nothing to do with the Inland Revenue.

**ananda** · December 18th, 2009, 10:06

It's really IRISH, but they don't know how to spell

**dswo** · December 18th, 2009, 10:59

I tried PMing him this summer; never heard anything back. But I'll try again.

If you know Karen's full name, you would be able to figure out the answer to this question. :mixedsmi:

I can tell you what i think it stands for..
it stands for a small group of individuals who over the last few years have bonded together to do the very best they can to make aircraft that are enjoyable, accurate and affordable. People who look in places no one else looks, like under the seats, trying to find that one odd vertex that just wont behave. People like myself, who scour through fcc documents and MOD documents and reports to make certain that the numbers and details in the aircraft, are as accurate as we can possibly make them. but mostly, it stands for a group of individuals who love the hell out of flying and this community we are so proud to serve. Even when sometimes that community can be a little more than harsh.. it makes us want to do better, and we do..
It stands for a small group of individuals that at one time was hardly even a second thought as a team, and who have made some of the most affordable and enjoyable aircraft addons available today..
And we will keep making them as affordable, as enjoyable, and as accurate as time and money allows..
till hell freezes over...

Pam, a very nice post there, thank you for your thoughts. For the record, I have responded to dswo's PM to me on the IRIS forums..

Good day to you all.

***jmig*** · December 19th, 2009, 05:59

Interesting thread?

I was curious as to what IRIS meant too. Guess we will never know? Somehow, this thread makes me feel a little disappointed.

Still, Iris does make nice aircraft. I wish them many, many successful years.

Or perhaps David (dswo) will reveil this secret in his review....

Well I'm bored so I thought I'd take a look at the IRIS forums for the answer. Needs registration so what the heck. Either I'm too thick to be considered a viable life form or the confimation code is designed by a maniac who's sole function is to keep people off the forums:isadizzy:
Needless to say I ran out of tries

Hmm,

I hadn't been on the IRIS forums in years, so my registration had been deleted for inactivity. Simply reregistered with my old name and password, and my original email. Recived my authorization in my next email download. Went right in, no problems.
