A big thanks

I know I rarely post here, and I haven’t touched F4 for a good 6 years or more, but it just dawned on my that F4 is now 18 years old! Obviously I don’t expect mods/support to continue forever, but I just want to say thanks for keeping this game/sim going after all these years.
My HOTAS is currently being repaired, and my TIR 3 is getting brought out of storage. Looking forward to learning it all over again over the winter months!

Hi, Harry,
Were you, by any chance, a user of the Frugal’s forums under the nick AMRAAM? If so, I’m sure you remember me as I was one of most active members and a regular customer to the Pilots’ Bar, later Goose’s Bar, and I also used the same nick, TommyGun. Some unforgettable moments back there…
Nice to see you here, too, and I hope all is well, Harry.

That’s me mate. When I rediscovered F4 years ago around when BMS came back with 4.32, I joined up only to find some imposter had already registered as AMRAAM
I check these forums every now and again and I always have the itch. My Cougar was collecting dust and I’ve had it up for sale a few times but never had the guts to let it go. I see they’re worth a lot, even in used, worn condition so I figured I’d keep ahold of it and see what I can do to restore it. Making good progress so far - who would have thought tin foil would work so well?!

Goose’s Bar,
Now there is a blast from the past. I remember Goose had brought his girl friend over from Australia, back to Texas… Then Frugals went by the way side. Think he was somewhat active on the FF Board… Want to say he got ill. But that was years ago… Can’t remember… miss the ole fart…

Well, F4 is back on my pc. Running completely maxed out at 1440p. I’ve never seen it so good. I just fired up IA but I don’t have the HOTAS plugged in.
Tomorrow night’s task is setting my TIR3 up,and I next want to get an exporter app to get I put on my nexus 6P. If I see myself getting back into it, I might treat myself to some cougar mfds.

Cheers Harry!

Ah I see. The last I heard anything about rights etc, was back when OpenFalcon were told to stop coding. It shows how long I’ve been off the scene.
So do BMS get permission from them, or did the BMS team buy the rights/IP under that name?

BMS has permission from them.

This post will probably asnwer some of your questions : https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?26408-4-33-1-will-release-shortly-what-you-need-to-know-and-how-to-be-prepared&highlight=Tommo

Ahh Frugals World. When I used to be in Frugals I was very into the SU 27 Flanker 1.5. The arguments then were about graphical eye candy and finesse of flight model. Does anyone know what happened to it Frugal’s World, and Frugal himself?

Frooglesim I think is the same guy but not 100% sure, and does a lot of civilian sims and has a large following. I think I spent more time reading the posts on Frugals World than actually flying the sim back then!

I have no idea, but I remember never been so devastated about a forum closure as I was when Frugals went. It was my first experience of an online community back when I was 15 or so. I had about 6’500 posts which to me was an insane amount!
Mark is still around but I never knew him well. I have a few Frugal members on facebook and have played ArmA and BF3 with them over the years.

Cheers. Now I feel old!

Is it? It came back as did Frugals refugees, but I haven’t seen either online for years now.
IMO, this is the falcon home now. I mean no disrespect to other groups.
