He's been active with Flight Simulation for more than 10 years and with marine and celestial navigation for many years prior. He is the respected developer of the legendary CoPilot and Aircraft & Scenery Designer tools that are used by tens of thousands of FS users worldwide.
Peter's greatest contribution to Flight Simulation was to introduce an easy to use graphical user interface that simplifies previously complex processes. And although Flight Simulation is just his hobby, simplifying complex software has been his profession for more than 20 years. This keeps him very busy. However, he recently agreed to spend some time with us to re-introduce a slick instrument that simplies navigation. Many of you may recognize it's name EZ-GPS.
