He may have come to the conclusion after doing his stupid deed that he didn't want to spend the money on PMDG's aircraft after what he saw. I give him credit for being honest and having the balls to come on a public forum and admit to what he did.....honesty is the best policy. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt when he says he deleted them after three days. Who's to say he actually did delete the files.Moral of the story... Sometimes one needs to learn to keep one's mouth shut at certain times. The guilt should be punishment enough (if one does actually feel guilty).2. If you are in the USA.....look at the 5th amendment of the const. Don't incriminate yourself...which leads to the first point above. Last but not least and MOST IMPORTANT. DON'T BE STUPID AND STEAL. You DO NOT want to be made an example of. Watch prison documentaries and those should be enough to deter you from doing this rubbish again.

Believe it or not i did delete the files every time. The only files i have of a pay-ware aircraft is1. Captain Sim 757 FS2004 (-200,-300,-F)Thats it LOL. I get my airacs from a guy he has on his site. Yes, he is legitimate. He makes them on his own. But the airacs are not close to whoever makes the payware one (Navichart?) He has a lot of missing info. But hell, its free :(.

I bet Brian wishes he had never said anything now about his trial piracy.Besides being against the law, downloading pirated stuff could be full of viruses or other nasty things to screw up your computer. I know that the guys at FlyTampa actually uploaded a messed up version of one of their latest sceneries to Pirate Bay so that they could catch people when they came to their forum and asked why part of the scenery was messed up. I remember one guy who actually posted about that issue and Martin replied that it was because he had the pirated version. It was too funny when the guy was caught red handed.I will say this though, I wish that more developers would or could give trial options to their software. I have been lucky that pretty much everyting I have purchased has been good with the exception of some photo sceneries I bought that ended up being a waste of money. Had that been the case I would have not purchased those sceneries.Sean Campbell

I don't regret saying it. it only proves to me that others are too immature to handle posts like that. With the replies i am starting to think i am the first person in FS history to come clean with the developers them self.i am gonna repeat this1. I DO NOT SUPPORT PIRACY!!! Since 2002 i have been in the pit and am struggling to make rent. So why would i support piracy which kills the economy.2. I DO APOLOGIZE to PMDG and i do hope they accept. I WOULD buy one of their products in a heart beat if i had the money. Well, if that money was over $100 i would put it towards my new Computer ;) Than i would wait again for some money to get the plane itself.3. PIRACY is equivalent to robbing a store.4. I have tried 3D Modelling myself, It is not easy. so if your reading this and your a pirate, please, try making a fuselage with out anything but it. After you try you will never pirate software again. You will feel like an &@($* that you stole something that a group of people spent MONTHS of their lives making. With the NGX, YEARS.5. NOTHING IS FREE. I don't care if you pirate something and say "well i got it for free". you didn't. Now you have shame and guilt tearing at your sole.PMDG and the people who DO purchase their aircraft legitimately, I DO apologize and i hope you accept. For those who still want to rant and call me a dirty stinking thief, im sorry your gonna be that way.

Brain, just so you know, I wasn't ranting and raving and calling you a stinking thief. I just said that I bet you wish you hadn't said anything, that's all.However, I guess the truth will set you free and now maybe you will feel better getting it off your chest since you dont do it anymore?

Uh oh, it appears this topic is gonna go on forever. ...Hey, did you all know PMDG is coming out with a 737 NGX? Discuss!!!!!!!!!

Really? I wasn't aware. Is this a confirmed rumor or are you just kidding?

I like chorizo.

I wasn't pointing that at you at all. I thank you for understanding what i said. you seem to be the only one who does.

Problem is you don't run around posting this kind of stuff on the forum of a developer whose worst enemy is piracy. It's not that stealing them for a demo is the worst thing, but the worst is the fact that the pirated stuff is online and there are cracks for it for everybody to take.

Believe it or not doing that has saved me from buying some crappy add-ons (LD767, i tried it, wasn't really the visual modeling i was looking for, than i realized that i probably wont even fly it that much.) so i bought the CS757. I was happy with THAT purchase.

Yes, the Level-D 767 is a crappy piece of software, not a patch on C-S's 757... :( Actually, the L-D 767 is available via the F1 wrapper, so you get 30 days of trialing anyway. So why would you obtain the cracked version, unless you wanted to keep it (besides the fact it's crappy and not a patch on the C-S 757; ohhhh maaaan.... :( )?Cheers, Chris Dalgarno

I like chorizo.

Not quite sure why I'm replying to this, but what the hell....... I like chorizo too!!This is only going to get worse until the NG is released! :(

Oh, and in addition, I like aardvarks. First animal in the dictionary, and the only anteater with teeth.Cheers, Chris D

but than im stuck with guilt the rest of my life. Piracy is a terrible thing in my book. which is why i don't do it. and when i did do it i hardly did it. But have you ever thought of maybe the reason why they dont like it is because the pirates themselves aren't honest? Or maybe the pirates just cant understand?What im saying isn't mainly getting guilt off of my chest but it is to inform the readers who do pirate that stopping and admitting to doing it is the best solution. And those who are making it seem like being totally honest about it and quitting piracy is worse than piracy itself are not helping the situation. You're just making it seem like being honest makes you an even worse person, which is not true.

Ohhh man, isn't this why they invented Instant Messaging? Oh right, Skype exists.. I'm off to use that instead of trying to have a conversation on a public forum about a topic dozens of people don't give a flying Woodpigeon's dookie about.I like... uhm... zareba. Google the word, I found it pretty interesting when I heard it on the Discovery channel today.
