I'd like to pay tribute here to the addon heroes, and ask you all -
Who are the greatest addon developers?
Maybe it's not appropriate to start a league-table type thing, but rather to show our appreciation of those who have brought us enjoyment.
My candidates, based on my own Orbiter experience and flying hours are:
Dan Steph - for the Delta IV, UMMU and OrbiterSound, where would we be without them?
Shuttle Fleet David and Kev Shanow for STS-World
Sputnik for his fantastic explorations of roads not taken, all lessons in historical recreation and alternative history
Usonian for realism and fine documentation in everything he has done
Greg Burch for showing us the future
Yuri Kulch for the wonders of his SRC empire
Doug Beachy for unsurpassed professionalism in the XR-5 Vanguard (He hired a voice actress, for Pete Conrad's sake!)
Alain "Capt" and the AMSO team for the groundbreaking Apollo experience.
AndyMcSorley for the Lunar Transfer outfit and Mars for Less
Jarmo for IMFD, an uphill learning curve if ever there was one
The Late Lazy D for LOLA, unfinished but beautiful
All those who created mods deserve a mention and our gratitude, but these are the ones who stand out in my experience.
