Fun review. It's also a bit surprising that they banned you for it. Either you've done something more on their forums that you're not telling us, or they're vendictive little children with no sense of PR or customer relations whatsoever.

No, I'm telling the whole story, a least my side of the story. I did get a nice email from a higher up at feelThere this morning offering to look into things and help straighten it out. I think we are all guilty of hitting the Send key a little to quick sometimes. Maybe that is what happened, too much or too little coffee, or heck maybe its a typo. Ray

And the screenshot has links too? I'm sorry, but the links in the screenshot was shortened, being impossible to read them.Funny. I've never seen so many posts being deleted on a thread as I'm seeing right now. It seems that Avsim is as so dirty as the fellThere. What does the money, right?

Give me a break. Links were posted to files and we are trying to determine if they are legit or pirated.Two posts were made invisible-both the intitial with the links and a repeat post.Please accept the reasons which are legit and take the attitude elsewhere.Thanks..

We would rather be safe than sorry.

Oh, I am totally in your camp with any fight against piracy, I was just saying I don't remember any links at all other than the paintkit link that was not deleted. I noticed that Scoob deleted his "rebuttal" which was the first response post.Ray

Let me explain-mods are here on a volunteer basis. I seem to be the only one around now. I have no knowledge of this product, the complaints, or the links that were posted.I made the link post invisible because it looked suspicious and asked the other mods to weigh in-which they eventually will do. If it is legit it will be made visible. That simple.

I just checked the 3 screenshots with the OP. They are expandable, just click on one and use the slider to see more. I used the Orbx sponsored screenshot site for posting the 3 screenshots. It is just another Photobucket look alike without all the advertising.Ray

If the problems are the links, I'll write here the rest of Paulo Palmeira's post:

rayamar,how you, too, was suspended from the forum of them, know why? i say the true"NEW marketing strategy:1- Using an FDE, which besides being a copy of other FDEs as Level-D and PSS, is a joke. The values are unrealistic. FDE them is a joke. Mr Rod Young copying even failed to make something decent.2- There are modeling errors in various parts of the aircraft. Etc, etc..3- But they accept criticism? No! They hide the truth and simply banning it.Why they want to shut mouths?Feelthere me ever again!

Let us see if the problems really are the links...

Your review was cool to read. I don't own the aircraft as have too many other things to learn/play with.The pic above made me laugh my coffee out of my mouth and just missed my keyboard! Banned until 2020? #####?

The good news is my previleges have been fully restored at the feelThere support forum. Those 10 years just seemed to fly by. Vida é boa em jejum viela, mais uma vez.Thanks Vic,Ray

Lucas-I think the problem is your attitude-please change it.

Geoff, the problem may indeed be his attitude, but please don't join him. I fully understand how it feels to be the only mod around at a given time, but please don't be 'the heavy', like in the other forums eh?It's the great way you and the rest of the mods run this forum that keeps us all pulling in the same direction.

I think I explained reasonably and politely why I made the 2 posts invisible.Lucas seems to want to start a conspiracy theory, and then posted the body of the post which I did not find objectionable-but why?Lucas did leave out the end of the post which stated:Why they want to shut mouths?Feelthere me ever again!Download and be happy!and series of download links .I would not be doing a service to simmers or to avsim to not have this checked into before allowing it to stay. Frankly, we make many posts invisible every day-spam, porno, bad language, and posts that violate the rules here etc. to make this a nice environment for simmers to come to.There is no conspiracy here-but being accused of that and that avsim has some kind of agenda towards this product is uncalled for and not acceptable here.

Geof , since this is a self described review of the product, shouldn't this post be more appropriate in the Readers review forum?

.....The flight deck is a mix of really great looking stuff and some FS9 looking stuff. My big disappointment was the multitude of buttons on the Guidance Panel (GP) have lights but they do not light up when you press them. Duh! The manual says in several places "this is not a bug, it was intended this way". You gotta be kidding me. Seems most of the operators opt out of that feature. Now, we can press buttons and look someplace else for the action "just like real Embraer pilots do". Yea, right......Ray

I agree it doesn't make sense why these lights are not used, but looking at many real world cockpit videos it appears Feelthere is correct that they are not in use, so it is prototypically correct, that they are not illuminated, although I can't imagine the reason why not?

Oh, I understand the logic of it all, I just think if you are going to design a version for flight simulation then you could or maybe should make it a practical thing. FeelThere has been real clear that their models were based on real world versions that happened not the have the light option. Some real embarer pilots visit the forum from time to time. I will pm a couple of them and ask about their personal experience with the units they fly.Ray

The reason is because they want to train pilots into the habit of confirming the status of the A/P modes engaged by referencing the PFD annunciations since this is the only sure-fire way to confirm the desired AP mode is actually engaged. A LED light on the button only confirms you pressed the button.I can confirm from experience that sometimes you press an A/P button on the glareshield and the LED light temporarily lights while your finger is on the button. You would then look away, unknowing that after you removed your finger, the LED light extinguished and the button press did not take. If you don't properly scan the PFD after pressing a button, you could get yourself in a sticky situation by thinking an A/P mode is engaged when it's actually not.
