Absolutely! RESPECT!!! Much love Jason, and I wish you luck in all you do. You are a class act, and maybe on my next run to Kingman, I'll buy you a cold one.

Totally took me by surprise to hear of this! Jason, thank you for all the years of heart and effort you put into these flight sims we've been privileged to enjoy. Godspeed, and good luck, sir! Hopefully we'll see you again in some way in the future. 

[DD_Arthur]

Yes, thank you Jason for saving combat flight sims.

 

Big S!

[RyanR]

This is all bringing a tear to my eye. Godspeed indeed!

And this should be the trending topick of today

 

GOOD LUCK

AND THANK YOU JASON !!!

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Thank you for everything, Jason.

I hope we'll hear from you in the future.

 

Good luck.

All afternoon I’ve been pondering the news of Jason’s departure. Other big names from the past of flight sims popped into my mind. Guys like Gilman Louis and Daymon Slye who were household names to many of us then and have long since disappeared. I’m hoping Jason doesn’t completely sever his relationship with us here.

I take full credit of course.  I just showed the team what we needed to do. The team did the hard work of building it. My technical contributions are few, but it takes both sides to make it successful. Thank you so much guys. Was my pleasure. Onward and upwards!  

 

Jason

Best wishes m8!?

Jason, in the end you did a very good job and should be very proud! Normandy is a major success and all of the fixes to navlights, DM, and propeller textures were very much needed and appreciated!

[TheSNAFU]

Jason, I don’t take too many opportunities to weigh in on things here but your departure is something that warrants a few words. 
 

It has been clear to me for years that you are a true simmer at heart. Your commitment to this hobby of ours has been obvious from the start. Your guidance has led the IL2 brand to heights it would not have risen to without your expertise and leadership. You have been firm but it seemed to me that you were always protective of the mission you and the team were on. While I have disagreed with you on a few things I always respected your positions. 
 

Thank you for all you’ve done for the sim community and for this great game. If it wasn’t for you and others like you, we would all be flying some wacky contraption on a PS5 and not a true to life P51 over Europe. 
 

Best of luck to you Jason

 

Salute!

IMO this is the best experience you can have with a HOTAS to date, and in my time playing this sim (earliest screenshot I have seems to be from Christmas 2014...) its gotten nothing but hugely better with every release. I've gotten every aircraft expansion in early access since Kuban and part of my confidence in doing that is the transparency and honest communication of the dev team, especially Jason. Hope the rest of the team keep up the excellent work and here's to many more years of this game!

[Jade_Monkey]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jason for all your contributions to the genre and this platform in particular. Your passion and dedication was crucial to get us where we are at today in this niche hobby of ours.

 

Wish you all the best in your next endeavor, and i hope we get to hear from you again.

Thank you for everything you have done for combat flight simming Jason! IL-2 is in a great place thanks to your efforts, and I wish you the best in everything going forward! We will miss you here!

I had to describe you in one phrase today, and ended up with "He is an enabler". Not to dismiss teams hard work, but you were making this effort possible and applicable. 

Whatever you do next, they'd be lucky to have you.

[CAFulcrum]

Nonono, no rest for the wicked!  We've all said our thanks, now it's time to start demanding he team up with all of the other great combat-sim creators to create an all-star team of super-combat-sim-makers and get to work on the next big thing.  It could be like the A-team or Charlie's Angels, all they need is a van (Jason gets to be Charlie of course; the dev team might not like the tight outfits but that's the business).

[Stonehouse]

Best of luck and best wishes, you'll be missed!

[IckyATLAS]

As an in every orchestra, you need a director. He does not play an instrument but without him no way to bring together all the players to reach a common musical perfection goal. And Jason you have been a hell of a director with your orchestra of code players to generate a sky-high sim music for nearly 10 years. Hats down, salute to you, you will be missed.

Thank you for the hard work you've done for the Ww2 flight simming community. Great Battles has given me many hours of entertainment. 

Best wishes and good luck

Good luck to you, Jason, and thank you for all you have done for this wonderful gaming niche.

 

I hope that onwards and upwards, whatever they mean for you, are exactly where you head.

Thank You so much!

You can really be proud of what you have achieved with IL-2 and RoF.

 

RoF brought me back to FlightSimming and PC Gaming in General.

After the (at least at launch) disappointing CloD I was so happy that a new IL-2 from the RoF Creators was coming.

I have had many great hours with IL-2 since.

 

I wish you all the best!!

[Talisman]

You have been the best of the best Jason.

 

Be well, be happy and have fun.

So long & thanks for all the fish......

 

Thanks for all you have done for the sim & good luck for wherever you end up.

[MAJ_Raptor]

This made me sad to hear today.   But I agree Jason man thank you for everything over the years and may you have clear skies and a powerful graphics card wherever you end up next

 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart  07
