August 11, 20223 yr I sent Alexey an email yesterday explaining I lost all my downloads and he returned the email today. He is making efforts to reopen the site. He's attempting to migrate the site so members can download the existing airports but he can't take payment from new members because of sanctions from us and even from Russia who are also imposing sanctions against doing business with the West. Hopefully the world will be at peace again soon.
August 11, 20223 yr Thanks for this post @Todd2. Will you post here again when/if you know more, please?

Sure, we all heard about the EU-sanctions saying that Russians are not allowed to offer downloads for free, but have to sell their stuff on Simmarket. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Perhaps you can share this with the owner of Beautiful Model of the World, so that they can start to operate again despite the sanctions imposed both from outside and inside their own country.
August 11, 20223 yr It was a very good deal to become a member of his club, but now I'm not sure if we'll get the product updates or the future projects from him as well. There are too may complaints on his forum. Hopefully he's able to be back soon with the same business model.

August 11, 20223 yr I paid 24 Euros to Beautiful Model of the World last year (2021) and have downloaded 20+ airports and updates. That's about $1.25US per airport. If that's ripping a customer off ..... -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe

And if he did manage to get his site up and running elsewhere I'm not sure it would be ethical (or legal) to download from it. At least I would feel uncomfortable in doing so.

August 11, 20223 yr Alex has no more access to Paypal nor Dropbox nor to international banks services. He can't earn his life from his work anymore and the airports that are still available from Simmarket are old ones.Some here seem to lack a minimum of compassion and tolerance. He is just another victim of a mad man's policy. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
