Well, another bit of the flight simulation world is disappearing. In one of the new age corporate reconstructions, an offer was made and accepted and thus the SimTech name, domain name and rights to same have been sold. The current SimTech Flight Design website is being closed.:stop: Tom's Copyrights to the models are still in effect.
Tom advised me today that over the next few days requests will be sent out to the major websites to remove any files carrying the SimTech Flight Design name (in the title or any readable documents). The new owners (who are aviation but not MSFS oriented) want to have a clear board when they begin use of their new identity.
Soooo.. if you've pondered any of the "former" SimTech products that became freeware - go get them now! (includes, but is not limited to the Beech 17 & 18, H.P 400, Do 335. P-39, La-7... if you can find it, get it.)
Will this affect the Rata project? No! It's into beta-test and textures but it will be released under a new product line with a new website (announcement will follow) and after that we'll hopefully see it followed by updated Beechs and then some new things.
