So CS accuses freeware livery painters of publishing low quality content, yet republish the same liveries without painters' permissions. This is after selling their first MSFS 2020 payware product that is in a word: Amateur? Unbelievable. Apparently, freeware modders and developers in our FS community are all incompetent and inferior to the great CS. Like none of us can mod their amateurish EICAS displays and host of other issues. Pleeeease!  CS just lost another customer.

Tod is this your mod/work? I would say upload so we could all enjoy but you might get hit with a cease and desist by CS. I still cant believe they didn't port over the sound from their FSX/P3D model.. I know some others were blaster for using the S word (scam) but I'm about to say it..

Just came across this

I am absolutely rolling on the floor with this one.

How long have I've been telling people that CS is absolute trash?

Well....being a livery painter, I never thought I'd have yet another reason to despise them.  

This is a new low even for CS, and I hope this finally wakes up this community to just how deceitful and scandalous this sad excuse for a developer actually is and folks will put him out of business by keeping their wallets in their pockets whenever CS goes for another cheap cash grab.

The ghost of Peter Tishma and Papa Tango still haunts us!  Takes us right back to around 2000 when he tried to assert that all American Airlines liveries for FS had to be licensed by (with a royalty payable to) him.

CS fiasco aside, let me say THANK YOU to you, Steve, for your contribution to our FS hobby! Ok back to thread...

No idea how true this is

 

Ugh.  Well, I started piling onto the exact thread in their forums where they were saying this was all “good news” ... feel free to join if you want to vent:  https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1621690095/0#11  I don’t imagine it will do much good, but hey, it’s possible the one remaining dude isn’t even really plugged into the right forums and doesn’t know it’s going down on a lead balloon ...

I am now going to have nightmares, I was hoping I would never hear them names ever again... 😄

With the exception of the FMS mod from Salty 747/CS777 mod, the upper and bottom EICAS displays and GSE contact points are my personal mods cause I'm not about to hold my breadth for future fix like some in this forum are saying. And I can't stand the sight of a 747 display, with the upper EICAS literally butchered to only show 2 thrust levels - I mean this is totally amateur stuff. So bad coming from a not-so-unknown developer name from FSX generation of developers. And their hypocrisy is beyond bounds. Among some of the accusations, they claim bloatware (without evidence) from freeware painter that have contributed to the 777 repaint since release, and "reuse of compressed 2K DDS files from FSX which gives you flaws  and an awful quality." Come again? If you look carefully at their interior Cockpit label and button textures, most are blurry and likely a port over from FSX they are accusing freeware modders of. For the record I have a 4K UHD monitor, displaying 3440 X 1440 so I know clarity when I see one.

You can use MSFS exactly as you want, from flying stuff like the Aerosoft CRJ and FBW A320, to flying a rubber dingy with a propeller strapped to the back, like I did the other day - Great fun! 

Study level dingy! I'm in.  Seriously this looks like good fun, especially in VR

Thanks,

At least my paints were always on models from respectable devs.  I refused to paint anything for CS, can't imagine how those who did, especially on this farce of a "plane", feel right now with their work being stolen from flightsim.to and put on CS's site...and bashed at the same time. 

Hope this is the wakeup call that puts CS into the history books for good.  I hope enough people get the message not to buy the 777-300 shell you know he's getting ready to pop out...with the best solution being Asobo/MS bringing a cease and desist against him and prohibits HIM from selling his KRAP to our community.

Agree. C&D should also come from Boeing and all Airline companies depicted in their product package. Boeing engineers would be horrified when they see the butchered upper EICAS that is some sort of word not allowedized 747 EICAS. 

Perhaps a POSKY panel merge would work. (I'm just curious to know if anyone is old enough to know what that means. Sorry in advance)

Definitely old enough...painted many POSKY (Project Open Sky for those wondering about the odd-sounding name) planes in the old days.

I would not waste time on that and I don't think it would work anyway as the code is completely different, and besides, you'd be disrespecting the excellent work of Hiroshi Igami (the modeler from POSKY) by trying to use it with CS trash.
