About Us
|
|
|
For all those who are curious who the
guys behind the scene of FlightSim Commander are here is a short
biography of us: Neither one
of us is a professional computer scientist or programmer, although
Volker did some commercial DBase programming in the old days of DOS.
We both have our regular jobs, so basically we are just two
little after-work-at-night hobby programmers who simply enjoy what
they are doing. |

Sascha lives in Bendestorf, a little
village near Hamburg; Volker lives in Lohmar near Cologne. So EDDH
and EDDK are our respective home airports. Volker has some personal
aviation experience having been a private pilot and parachutists for
a number of years. Sascha has no such background and is more
interested in the mathematical computer stuff.
We met for the first time in the days
of FS5 some time in the early 90s and have been working together
ever since. As far as we know, Volker was the first to ever write a
moving map program for Flight Simulator, the first version being for
FS5. At that time you still needed two computers connected via a
serial interface. Therefore not too many people used that program.

We are German by nationality, though Sascha was raised in
Denver, Colorado and has furthermore strong connections with Japan
where he regularly spends some time every year. |
