What happened to Mav-jp?
-
I must say I miss frugal’s day. There was some kind of liberty and even if there was some clash around, I think it wasn’t mutually exclusive with respect. I mean, it’s just like RL. If someone is pissing you off, just **** off. You need at least 2 persons for an argument, so if one of them just leave, there is no argument anymore.
Meh…getting banned at least once was merely a right of passage.

Not surprised. I’ve had a couple of head-to-head conversations with him over the past few years, and tact was definitely not his long suit. He does eventually come around, though…

At 54 I been told to foxtrot oscar more times than I can remember, by him included. But I aint no suck hole, I mostly deserved it.

I loved how Frugal let an argument run for most of a day, then came in and set everybody straight with his knowledge of Falcon lore and his good standing with all the different teams. Like a perfect barman who raises his voice but does not throw anyone out on the street. AFAIR Frugal became some sort of author, checked out of the Falcon rabbit hole for good. As for web styles, Delphi was the white-background site, then Frugal started out Green text on black background, before going more “modern”. Wasn’t there a third site of some prominence in that timeframe ?

SimHQ was also a decent forum if not Falcon centric. CombatSim’s boards were the alternative to the Delphi for awhile in the early days.

That’s right, those fora were also quite good, remember the F4HQ especially

LOL!

Yes, you had to work pretty hard to get banned at Frug’s board.
Frugal was always a lot of fun. Great memories!

That was from 2002. Frugal looking both cheeky and cool … and I look like I’m wearing my Dad’s clothes. WTF was I thinking?!! :uham:

I like all the Akers Barnes cockpits. Still have my modified non-take down one in the shed and am probably going to start using the seat again.
Did you guys ever get the G Suit working? I remember you giving me some advice on the medical side of the pressure, possibly over at Viperpits (probably the second best advice you given me, the Foxy bit about binging on sugar being the #1 ). I’ve finally got most of that hopes for that project going with my 3rd Space Vest which is far safer and easier than the real G Suit.

I still find it entertaining that a dentist wrote the Cougar manual I just re-read recently.

Agreed, … When I bought my Cougar , pretty late ~2008 ? … I was reading that little black book as a “book” not as a manual.
I was “chewing” expert/advanced syntax in days and still not using ~50% of the possibilities.The biggest challenge was programming using “Win” and “Apps” keys - they came in handy for Falcon4AF , since cougar’s software didn’t know them , … solved = scan codes or usb keys. Still have that macro somewhere.
That was for sure last manual I read which was written in “human” language , totally unlike nowadays written for “machines” (I robot)
Thanks Nutty
Cheers

Since this is a flight simulation forum… shouldn’t the word “grounded” be used instead of “banned”…
Flight leader… RTB for rearming…

Was it a joke banning?
He’ll be back in 2 - 4 weeks right?
-
3-4 weeks, if so
EDIT: Jokes aside; Hope he’s doing alright and the team stays strong together.

2 - 4 weeks right?
grounded for 3 days . Coming back very soon .

When exactly is MAV-JP allowed off the naughty step to play nicely with the rest of us?
