But that doesnt answer my question to why hes in a mad rage to delete all his stuff and then come tell us about it, funny isn't it?

>and stop answering to this thread>defending payware or freeware becasue he simply wants to>create another "payware/freeare" debate...and we all know that>isn't pretty There is NO debate. In most cases, the best freeware developers usually go payware after investing years in this "hobby". Normally several indivduals will combine to put out the best product possible. There is no doubt (in my mind) that I'm statiscally correct on this!!!!!!L.Adamson

How true. Well, to my Marchetti, on the double!

Come on trip, where did you go and hide?

>How true. >>Well, to my Marchetti, on the double!he,he ................... just take away my Marchetti and I'll "quit" the hobby! :)L.Adamson ----- going to junk my full size airplane project and learn to play "checkers"!

I actually sorda agree with you in some sence.. but I still buy payware.. they are often better, and have way more features then the feeeware..i only buy the real good payware though

$11USD :)

$11.25 ;-)

I hate to get in this.. but I have a firm belief in this as well.I cannot say that I have not bought payware, or that I would delete it from my system, unless it was junk, but I do not buy payware, with the 1 exception of 767PIC, just because I cannot see paying someone cash for something that is not real.Sure, I pay for windows, & other programs, & they are just code, just like hte aircraft, or whatever payware product, but those items serve a purpose to me, & the other payware items I have seen out so far do not. Your opinion may vary, & with every right to do so, but I barely use this game/sim/whatever as it is. I usually play in the big iron, trying to make a flight as absolutely real in the little areas (flight plans, altitude, weights, fuel on board, timing, economy of the flight if I can get real #'s, etc). I am not too worried about the exact flight model, because it will never happen in this game.I fly a lot in the real world lately, & that is taking most of my 'want' out of it. Once it becomes a job (for me anyways) it becomes just that, & at least I start to get tired of the business end of things, & I don't even fly for an airline, YET!:) just my opinions, yours may, & probably will vary!Cyas

lol. You already PAID for those paywares on your HD. They don't care if you use it or not.

>lol. You already PAID for those paywares on your HD. They>don't care if you use it or not.My thoughts exactly.

Ya ever get the feeling that someone is trolling for Internet Trout and by the looks of the response he has netted quite a few fish in a short time....:-hang

You know it's interesting that you're getting rid of your payware add-ons. I'm getting grief from a company that has 3 letters.. I bought a plane from them awhile back..and when the gmax version came out..I bought the upgrade for it. I am undergoing some major changes to my system..and had to re-install this pay-ware plane. I never knew I would get such grief trying to re-install it. I wasn't able to re-install using my registration-key because it told me I had used it too many times..and to contact their tech-support. The attitude of a certain "gentleman" in that company was unbelievable. He made me seem like he was doing me a favor by allowng me to re-install my own,bought for plane. Now I'm stuck with a payware plane that is useless because the key is invalid due to too much "use". He did send me a full version of the gmax plane file..but it's no good because my key is no good!! :))..I'm really ######..dunno why I'm laughing. I don't think I will ever buy any payware again..especially from this company. Im not a rich guy..and am on disability. If this company treats all their customers like they treated me..I don't know how thy're still in business. Well..thats my 2 cents..Flight Simmers beware... Yoram

Trip, so what your saying is that payware authors don't love this hobby because they sell thier creations?? If that isn't what you are saying it certainly can be implied from your initial post and your initial post is ridiculous.

This post shows that a lot of people are somehow living in the past,and mourning the demise of the "good old days" Payware is the future,it's nice when people issue freeware for the fun of it,but all of the "cutting edge" addons are payware,and have been for some time,and will continue to takeover the market.A new aircraft or scenery takes thousands of hours development before it's finished.Who's gonna give it away for free?Why should they?All over the world,in all areas,if it's good then it costs good old dineros.Example?I am also into photography,and I've been doing it a long time.Over the years, as you get better,you get more ambitious,and buy better equipment.So,now I have equipment worth
