Popular Post Iain Emms Posted August 21 Popular Post Share Posted August 21 Well then chaps as the title says another year fly's by, Its now sixteen years since i came across this quite new flightsim company called Orbx i was new myself to flightsim having just bought FSX and the Acceleration pack. I joined up and virtually met some great people here on the forum they helped me get going with FSX and any problems that i had they tried to help me after awhile i started to post some screenshots here on the forum and then John Venema asked me to come on board and i started to take nearly all of the product pages screenshots as time moved on this included not only FSX but P3D and XP11 also doing some promotional shots for flightsim magazines advertising Orbx. I was made a VIP one of the first i think because i have posted one or two posts ha ha here over the years and i will keep posting here for as long as i can. I was then asked by JV to run the screenshot forum competitions and police the screenshot forum which has given me great pleasure over the years seeing all your fantastic screenshots that you post here. I still think this forum is one of the best with members posting and being nice to each other and helpful when they can to other members here it says a lot in this day and age we have shared a lot of good and bad times over the years but there is always people here to help its like a extended family and long may it carry on. So as i say time fly's by and i wish you all here my friends old and new a great time with Orbx and thank you all for being here on the forum. cheers Iain 7 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 2 minutes ago, Iain Emms said: well done Iain - you really have made a huge contribution over the years - some of your own pics are not too bad either😉 I was here at the beginning also - but after a couple of years sabbatical whilst I went sailing - they couldn't find me so, I had to start all over again. However - you are dead right - a great forum - and great company -which I refer it - to a pleasant dinner party with friends👍 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Been here since the beginning as well, it took me a few years before I ever posted a screenshot or did anything other than being an observer. I learned a lot from Iain's screenshots over the years and I suppose everyone else did as well. I want to thank you for all that you do here in such a professional manner, well done! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebear Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 As like the moderator, so the forum, I think that sums it up well. I'm sure without Emmsie's tireless efforts the forum wouldn't be the same and so many great people wouldn't visit the forum so regularly. It is always a great pleasure to visit this forum to see the many fantastic screenshots, which are very inspiring, or to read the many interesting and often entertaining posts here. I also like the respectful way people treat each other. I think that makes all the difference. Many thanks to everyone and especially to Iain for that Ulrich 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Iain, the Dad of the Orbx forum. I think you're on to something Gumby! Like many of you I've been onboard with Orbx since the beginning and started with JV and VOZ. Started testing for Orbx in September of 2013. I've seen a lot of changes in those years, but the one thing that hasn't changed is the willingness of its members to be kind and helpful. I've learned a lot from y'all. And yes, "My final shots" always made me smile. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
