Project Teams are temporary groups made up of different individuals to complete a given project such as scenery or large aircraft.  Usually Project teams return to work on other aircraft of their interest and most often alot of the same people work on every project. Project teams consist of beta testers, designers, painters, etc. For a list of Project Teams view the individual aircraft pages.

The Design Team is made up of four people who work on our own projects spanning the entire realm of FS as well as helping with each others projects almost all the time. Because of this, many people contribute to each project that is released. 

The crew

Joshua "Mongo" Nyhus - 20 - Torrance, Ca.

The resident guru
Web designer, aircraft & scenery design, painter & graphics.
Josh has been flightsimming since 1998 and designing since 2001 and is the guy behind Empirical Dynamics as well as the new look of this website. In real life Josh is a professional photographer and web designer.
 

Brady "Comradski" Duros - 20 - Seattle, Wa.

Nope, that's not Crockett from Miami Vice, it's our resident Jack of all Trades. Brady is a painter and beta tester amongst other things.  He's the one responsible for Logan Airlines, as well as organizing most of the real world aircraft we use occasionally. In real life he is working on his business degree in aviation management. For reasons currently unbeknownst to us, it has not been possible to convince him that it is not 1987...
 
 

Mike "Captian Switch" Vivaldi - 21 - Oceanside, Ca.

The resident space case.
Mike is our primary Orbiter guru and aids in the development of our space systems for the Orbiter Free Spaceflight Simulator, as well as an avid Microsoft Flightsimmer and fellow real world aviator. In real world aviation he is currently working on an instrument rating as well as a Bachelors in Aviation management and a Masters in Public Administration

The resident pyromaniac, punching bag, fixer.
We don't know why this guy's here. We can't seem to shake him and he drinks up all the booze. He's been flightsimming since 1994 and apparently the FAA decided he was sober enough to fly real planes in 1997. Evidently he has hopes to open a bar or be an Aerospace Engineer or something, quite literally rocket science.  Currently he is an instrument rated private pilot working on his degree in applied science (i.e. skirt chasing) and his commercial pilots certificate.  He's also the wiseguy who wrote all the text you've been reading. - Cheers :-)
