Fellow Simmers
I hope this message finds you well.
After much thought and reflection, I have decided to retire from active software development. I've been writing code for almost 50 years as a professional programmer and 30 years for the flight sim world in my spare time. It has been an incredible journey filled with challenges, learning experiences, and rewarding achievements. I am grateful for the support and camaraderie I’ve shared with you.
While I may be stepping away from full-time development, I am committed to supporting my existing projects on a best-endeavor basis. I want to ensure that you have the resources and assistance you need, even as I transition into this new phase of my life.
**What This Means:**
- **Limited Availability**: My response times may vary, but I will do my best to assist with any questions or issues as they arise.
- **Resources**: I will endeavor to maintain existing documentation and resources to help you navigate any challenges.
- **ReActivation**: If you add FreeLicence=1 to your PF3.INI file Config section you will no longer need to activate the software
I have withdrawn PF3 from the market and made it available as Freeware. You can request a download link from the download section of our website by entering '999' as your activation code. If this is your first install of PF3, you will need to run the PF3 installer and extract the attached PF3.INI file into the main PF3 folder before running it for the first time.
I would also like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your trust and collaboration over the years. Each interaction has enriched my experience immensely. My thanks also to all those (past and present) who have helped along the way (beta testers, contributors, etc)
Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey. I look forward to staying connected in this new capacity. If you have any questions or need support, please feel free to reach out.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
