*** AEROSIM SOLUTIONS SUSPENDS TRADING ***

Gwyn Perrett from Aerosim Solutions announces that he is suspending trading for a limited time.

"I have been making some really good replica simulator parts for customers all over the world for two years now and Aerosim Solutions has prospered and grown way beyond my original expectations. I have a great customer base and most of them are now new friends and quite a few of them are repeat customers which is always a good sign of getting it right! In the last two years I have expanded the workshop and put all profits back into new tooling and equipment to improve production. Orders have been regular without any form of advertising to date and all this time my own simulator has sat in the corner in pieces, in the last two years I have only made a new MIP, new yokes and rudder pedals. I don't have a desktop set up and it has been a long time since I have actually used FS and I am really missing it. I have completed orders of TQs and flight controls that are superior to what I originally made for myself and for this reason the parts in my own sim were suddenly no longer good enough for me and a rebuild had to happen.

The first time around I went along the path of simplicity and functionality, my sim was a pretty good 737 but in it's new form it will be a photoreal replica with much more functionality and a triple projection set up. The only way this can happen is if I switch off Aerosim Solutions for a while. It is heartbreaking to spend a month making a great TQ for someone else wishing it was for my simulator and then packing it in a box never to be seen again. I find it very frustrating because of not having my own working simulator so the new plan is to get stuck in to finishing my own sim so I can once again enjoy the original hobby like our fellow members and my customers, then I will be able to get back to Aerosim Solutions refreshed and refocussed. I think the day I have to switch to fulltime is getting closer and that will be a big decision to deal with when it comes. I would like to thank all of my customers and friends for their business and support. I would also like to acknowledge fellow sim component vendors and the cooperation that exists between us, in particular Peter Cos from Flightdeck Solutions and Roberto Soriano from Throttletek, Cheers guys, I might be steering more work to you for a while!"

Gwyn assures that his current customer commissions will be completed but for the immediate future no more orders will be accepted and Gwyn offers his apologies to those cockpit builders who this announcement will affect. Aerosim Solutions will return and Gwyn will continue to moderate Westozy's Mechanical forum at www.mycockpit.org on a daily basis as usual!
