Dan

Whilst I download all the latest Orbiter stuff and your fantastic Sound and DG package, I just thought I'd pop in here
and say a quick thanks for putting all the hours of work in, and of course for hosting everything free for us all to enjoy.

Thanks very much mate

Cheers

Gary

It's been too long since we did something like this.

Thanks Dan.

Dan,
Multiple sets of three cheers & beers for several orbital periods.
Between you and the good doctor I have a way to have fun, even when working 75 hours a week.

Outstanding work with Orbiter Sound 3.0!

Thanks, Dan for coming up with both Orbiter Sound and the DGII/DGIII.  You've made a very enjoyable simulator even
more enjoyable.  It just wouldn't be the same without sound.  The music piece is fantastic

Keep up the wonderful work, but don't burn yourself out - thanks again for all the work you've done!

Matt P.

Yeah, what about the DG4? ;) And will we be able to blast hell out of other DG4s like you said it would be so easy to
do?

Yeah right .. now .. where is the money ? :)

About DG4 my future while I'm jobless is tied to this project http://www.fspassengers.com

good money=free time=DG4
no money=deep sh.. trouble for me and no DG4

simple equation ;)

in programation it give this:

Code: [Select]
if(good_income==TRUE)
{
    FloodForumWithText("hourraaa, coool, I'm happy");
    StartToWorkOn(DGIV);
    while(people_notPissed)
             AddMore("Stunning add-ons");
}
else
{
    FloodForumWithText("I feel depressed");
    KillProject("DG4);
    Sell("Table);
    Buy("food);
    Sell("Chair");
    Buy("food);
    FloodForumWithText("I feel very depressed");
    Sell("Tv");
    Buy("food);
    Sell("Cloth");
    Buy("food);
    FloodForumWithText("I feel very very depressed");
    Sell("Children");
    Buy("food");
    Sell("Wife");
    Buy("food);
}

And just think that the time you spent making yourself look cool could have went to adding more fspassenger code,
which would have made the project go by faster, thus making your return to the DG3 all the more faster. :(

hehe...

Why is unemployment such a big problem for a guy like Dan? The system doesn't work! In a fair system Dan should be making a
shedload of cash and have LOADS of free time, useful for; DGIV, Eating, Sleeping, Family Time, etc... :)

Thanks for OS, all the DGs and so much of your free time Dan and I hope you get a good job and you don't have to sell your
children.

Don't sell the wife put her to work.  Go to her, use the following tactic;

Let me know how it goes, maybe I'll try it on my wife

I'm still sitting happily in education, university, then the forces. After that I'll probably end up like you guys. My life
plan is so complex. :)

Hey new buttons...cool.

Well *I* just got a copy of neverwinter nights PLATINUM.

I'm tackling the "hordes of the Underdark"TM with my half-elven lvl 15 rogue/lvl 3  shadowdancer.

and the code to get the highlights has been around for some time. it's just that Dan finally decided that nobody was
using it because there wasn't any fancy buttons. :)

it's gonna take some time getting used to seeing them at the bottom of the post window thingy, though. :(
