I noticed today that the thread of the LSAS problem which I have started has been locked and I have been called a pirate by PMDGexpress and a PMDG member vscimone. I already sent vscimone a message and I told him the email address and order numbers for MD-11 and 747X. I have paid 140 USD for these products and PMDG members are publicly insulting me a pirate on this forum. I demanded an apologize from vscimone. If I don't get it, I'll leave this forum. Probably nobody cares but I also take my money elsewhere next time.Merry Christmas to everybody.Joona

Hi Joona,I guess I missed the end of the post.But I have to ask, did you or did you not post a video on youtube titled Pirated PMDG MD-11?I'm just wondering, better to come clean and be honest than for there to be doubts about you in the future.

Hi,I didn't post a video like that. On that thread you can see in the beginning that I have removed the video from youtube, but the youtube link still says it titled as "controls.wmv" which is how it was titled in Youtube. I removed the video after I managed to shoot a better one and that is still in the thread in 1st page on 13rd message. I have been clean and honest. PMDGexpress has called me a pirate without evidence and after that PMDG member locked the thread and also called me a pirate. And I come here to post onto that thread about my last findings about the LSAS problem and wonder when thread is locked and I'm being called a pirate.

Wow. The 2nd such mistake from PMDG in only a month. Joona, I have not read the first thread (except the end). I have also had this problem and is always fixed by either keeping Soft (Yoke) Autopilot Disconnect button pressed or the two keys with AFS 1 / 2 hard disconnect. My problem on the CONFIG screen showed the elevator on hardover (green) down then hardover up depending on the position of my yoke.

Wow. The 2nd such mistake from PMDG in only a month.

What's the other?

Joona,1. PMDGexpress is not someone from PMDG, he's just a forum user. (I'm going to ask that he change his user name here so as to not cause confusion here)2. Vin saw a thread in which someone said your video had "pirated" in the title, the video was now removed and I think he just assumed that it was in fact pirated. Sorry about that, I'll talk to him. I looked at your account and verified you did purchase it.You have to understand though that in a bunch of cases where people are reporting strange problems like what you were seeing, it IS because of piracy. Our planes do strange things when pirated by design. Vin should have checked first, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that someone would see problems like what you're experiencing on a pirated copy.

Joona,Hope things are straightened out and the issue is resolved.

I did upload a video on youtube titled controls.wmv. Vin saw that I had removed the video. Vin must have also seen that on the link to the video, there has been its youtube title "controls.wmv" on top of it by youtube.

I understand but this is also a heavy statement. On the elevator-thread there are many people reporting the same problem with LSAS and we have been actively discussing about it and trying to look for the solution. Suggesting that it is a validation problem is also suggesting that everybody writing in that thread owns a pirate version. And I'm sure that is something that PMDG doesn't want to do. Anyway, the LSAS seems to be tracked down to memory use.However, I accept your apologize.Joona

This was the other case ('bout actually about a month and a half ago): http://forum.avsim.net/topic/317645-beating-up-on-the-wrong-guy/page__p__1872117#entry1872117
